Cool. I hadn't seen that. Married back cover . Green label . I wonder if that will hurt it . If it was just the front cover with a Blue PG label it might sell for more, and they would still have the back cover to sell seperately. 

Now that I think of it seems really odd. Cover only, back cover married. This deserves another  emoji. Does that mean they are physically connected somehow? If the front and back covers are from 2 different books I guess they could also say the front cover is married as well. 

105k.  It’s the closet your ever gonna get to owning the most important piece of the book.

somewhat in reach for some.

I think that it is about time that we began a club devoted to one of the most beloved runs in the history of the Golden Age; the famous "Pre-Robin Tec" run.

 

Detective Comics #27-37...

 

*Your copy: how did you get it?

*Where did you get it from?

*Why did you get it?

*What kind of condition is it in?

*Stories behind the book.

*Interested in picking up a copy?

*Interested in picking up another copy?

 

Pretty much anything that you can think of related to the Pre-Robin Tec run is fair game. (thumbs u

 

 

If my new display name hasn't already given it away, allow me to be the first to share...

Detective Comics #33: CGC .5 (Back cover missing; WHITE Pages)

 

This was a book that I had wanted for many years. I learned long ago that Detective Comics #27 would be way out of my price-range and at this point, the same could be said of any copy of Batman #1 that isn't coverless.

 

I was very fortunate that a fellow board-member, "Bat-Man", was willing to sell me his copy. It was a book that I had wanted ever since he first shared it with me and I feel very fortunate to now be able to call it my own.

 

Obviously the book has been through a lot. It has some serious mouse-chew and the back-cover is missing. What I found amazing is that despite the obvious defects, what remains of the book is still in fantastic condition. White pages and the classic image of Batman on the front-cover is still 100% in-tact.

 

If it were not for the defects, this book would have never been anywhere near my price-range and I'd have to settle for a higher graded copy of a much less significant issue. Detective Comics #33 has always been one of my personal favorites because I simply love the cover and feel that the story of Batman's origin is the most important Golden Age story ever told.

 

And thus...I'm proud to call myself "Detective33Kid".

Hi Detective33kid.

Cgc can see the bid history of the book in the Heritage archives in many instances to confirm value,?

Absolutely Richard !!

Yellow pages and a Bone white interior cover?

Should probably be in the bronze forum as it’s most likely this. 
 

If it’s a famous fist edition it will be oversized 

When my printer runs out of black ink it prints yello.

I remember you Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer more 

Yep. That’s me

160k to grade an Action 1 ???????

That’s what I remember 

Thanks

Let Heritage submit it for better coverage. I’ll bet they can. 

20k in 1977 probably bought more than a million today. Of course I’m exaggerating, but by how much?

You were kind enough to answer. But that is crazy.

So how much does it cost to slab a 8.0 unrestored copy of Action comics # 1 with a value of say 4 million dollars?

I was considering buying a conserved but was seeking out your experience first.

I think it (the Church) initially graded as 8.0 and was bumped to 8.5.  In these days of "improvement" DA could be kicking himself as the Church could now technically be nicer.

If that was indeed the case, then wouldn't it be more appropriate to have a thread on "What Are The BOTTOM 5 Pedigree's In YOur Opinion"?  

2 Million bought a hell of a lot more in the 70’s than it does today.

That Action 7 is untouchable today price wise.

Great cover!

I feel like this is somehow a spin-off of this thread: 

I think CGC should slow down with the Pedigree designations. They are cheapening it.

 

Like The Ropers. 3’s companies spin off. I get it

In this case it’s a conserved Pedigree. 
my understanding is that a Pedigree that is conserved does not qualify for the new  Pedigree label

No tricks
