My goal this year is to complete my Batman 2-10 run. I wish my goal for this was last September when this #2 sold for $15,600. I just bid $20,040 and got immediately shot down.

Dont disagree, but due to Caps lucky birth into the Timely/Marvel world, he’s got better friends that resonate more with the youngsters. Spider-man, anyone? Heck, even Daredevil and Iron Man too. That alone will maintain some parity for our beleaguered Cap

Glad you sold your Batman 1 when you did going to take a bit before that book gets that price again.

If memory serves me right, I think you have a Cap 1

This ad appeared before the book was on the stands, but it was not necessarily printed before the cover itself had been printed.  House ads were not always created with a stat of the actual, final cover, very many of them show differences between the ad and the published cover, especially in the logos and blurbs.  Sometimes the differences are huge: a house ad prior to Captain America #1 release shows him without wings on his head.  And a house ad for an early Timely comic had Stalin partnered with Hitler, while the published book removed Uncle Joe because in the small window between ad and publication, Russia had become our ally.  There may have been copies printed with the original cover, but destroyed.

And this ad for Batman 1 has the number and date in blue, whereas in all published copies (dot or no dot) the number and date were clearly part of the red plate.  So it's definitely not a version of the cover that was published.  

  

well Detective 1 add looked like this at first.  December 1936 From More fun 16 But Detective 1 has a different date.

Sorry you missed it woo woo.
 

Is Ian the consignor? I’m sorry for my ignorance, but I don’t know the backstory 

No. He had a deal that when he passed the books would go to this person but got pressured to give them up early.

I would have loved to get the Detective 3 back for 6k

The Detective 1 went crazy

I thought there were a LOT of strong prices.  But there were a few deals to be had, and I'm glad I got one. 

I sold Ian my Detective comics 3 for 11k in 2004 and I was going to bid but had to finish a break job just got home and it sold for 6k 

I just got in touch with Ian, earlier and he said they all went for far less than he paid.

I'm glad it got the QES sticker, otherwise I wouldn't have known whether it was a 'nice mint' or 'ugly mint'

Going to be a lot of 9.8s getting resub with press and boom.

The house ad for Batman 1 shows the dot.

But the printer was not set up for the dot so after the first few prints, they had to put the dot there. 

Can I open a thread about the 2 Batman 1s  The Dot or no Dot which was the first print?

Well, no EC headless corpses or Phantom Lady headlights, so by 1957, the children of New Zealand were safe!

There you go.

I did have this in my picture collection was interesting years ago that's why I kept.

That's really good that you saved that. Thanks. Three runs within a month totalling 900,000 copies is really something. I think we can safely -u-me that only the 1st prints have AC 14 June 2nd. I don't even care if there is a difference between the 2nd and 3rd prints. They were all printed in such a short time frame. But it would be good to note the 1st printing copies mainly because of the different ad. 

My famous First Edition says June 2nd and its the 4th print, and I have 2 copy's.

I thought like this also the real bids will go crazy in last 3 min. I told my girlfriend look at this Marvel Mystery 2 at 8800 in cgc 4.5 this was 2020.

I said it will go for 15k easy in the last 3 min she said I was crazy, so I showed her I bid 10k and said now watch and learn.

the hammer hit and I won the bid no extra bidding  I don't even collect Timleys, so I just put the book away.

Thanks to Clark @GreatCaesarsGhost for my purchase of this book. I really appreciate his help on this sale for me to get the Marvel 2. Thank you, buddy.

I am glad I kept this copy years ago. 

I guess I could send in for a press and upgrade

Not sure how it got to be an 8.5. Still looks like the same 8.0 to me IMO. 

Called let us regrade book maybe it will go up.  Oh, there is a cost for regrade and fair market value buddy  How much.

On 3/15/2024 at 11:29 AM, RareHighGrade said:

It certainly looks no different now, other than having a fancier gold label.  I wonder what "defect" was improved?

It's called the CGC reholder $$$ defect

Yeah but the CC copy has brittle pages and you know how many collectors love brittle pages

Are you planning on selling your copy for a nice gain?

I was happy since the 1.5 brittle sold for 12k and I paid under 10k not including the 1k tax for my cgc 4.5 below. The Heritage same grade sold for 26k

To answer your question Yes if someone with books like you come along its gone.  There would have to be a bottle included.

Like most of their auctions, the real action often doesn't tend to ramp up until the last day or so, and if it's a seldom seen book, in the last few hours and right through to their extended 3-minute bidding sessions.    

Like most of these HA and CC auctions, I won't be taking a close look until this coming weekend.  Took a quick glance though and did noticed the low bids to this current point in time, with some 4-figure condition guide valuation books still sitting at only 2-figures for now.  Then again, I've seen this before and should NOT get my hopes up too high since previous CC Event Auctions have had books sitting at these 2-figure amounts of $50 or so, only to see them finish up way above condition guide at price points like $2K to $3K.  So, will be interesting to check this auction out this coming weekend and see what piques my interest and what the final results will be.

A lot of the stuff I am tracking doesn’t even seem to have any serious bids on them.  Extremely low tracking bids.
