Picked this up today at FCC

What am I missing here??? Is The Book Incomplete? Back Cover Missing? It's complete. The only thing I can think of is the stains on the cover, and the spine has some splits in it. It was graded in 2002. I was thinking about a resub since it looks so much higher than a 1.0

Old label goodness, and I think it presents a lot better than 1.0

I think that 1.0 restored was sitting on CC before with a crazy 15K or something BIN

Thanks, tho it needs to be updated. Sold and bought a few. I always said I would only sell SC4 is I was going for a Tec 38. Now I am not so sure.

Demand for this book is crazy now. Every time I have a sales thread I get several PM's asking to buy my copy from my sig.

Yeah I always used the coupon on 4 GA books with a quick turn around. So sure I can get the same benefits and the money I put into it back, but getting $230+ worth of grading for $150 or whatever the cost, was a much better benefit. If you were using that coupon on Moderns, you were doing it wrong *now please carry on about how slow CGC is

Thanks. I missed that somehow. I was one of the old collectors who would use the coupon on big GA stuff. So now a premium membership seems useless.

Is CGC still doing the 4 book membership coupon for signups to Premium? Now it is showing $150 Credit to CGC with membership costing $149.

I still think some collectors who just wanted a copy, got into a bidding war on that .5 and inflated the price. I mean restored, wrong back cover and trimmed? It was the perfect storm. Put up the worst available copy, that still presents well, at a low starting auction, and bidders think this is their chance. And it just kept going and going. The last restored .5 sold at HA in 2013 for $1600. Huge jump and not an upward trend that can be sustained. See More Fun 73

Yeah I own #60, #1 and New Teen Titans #1 But IMO BB #54 is one of the ugliest covers in the SA. No Titans logo, half the team knocked out like a 90's JLA cover, and a boring villain with squiggly lines. I have owned it several times and always sell it. When it came to that book I decided that I just dont care to own it despite its importance.

Yeah there is a copy for sale on CC now, 1.0, restored with brittle pages, $15K BIN. And i'm like

Nope, thought about it, but couldn't pull the trigger. Waiting (hopefully) for the book to cool off. I feel like that mess copy that sold for $5K awhile back (.5 restored, wrong back cover) has everything jacked up for now.

I have been watching this copy all week on eBay. Raw, complete but spine split. $5,000 opening bid with no activity all week. 2 bids in the final seconds brought it up to $6,356 www.ebay.com/itm/Detective-Comics-38-1st-ROBIN-COMPLETE-1940-D-C-Bob-Kane-Cover-id-15132-/361386013113

This Titans fan is very satisfied owning 60 and not 54. So there is your first.

54 has an ugly cover. 60 does not have an ugly cover. 60 has a Teen Titans logo. So 60 for me.

From my DC anthology thread:

We had a sell here on the boards recently, a CGC 1.0 for $5K

Yeah but this one had a piece of another cover glued to it or something right through Robin. (Trying to remember the notes) Just ew for the price.

Almost $8K for the 1.5 restored last night on CC. IMO the cover did not have good eye appeal at all either.

Just got this:

It's been 18 years since Robin has been in a movie (Sorry JGL doesn't count) And how many times has some B-Player marvel character gone crazy after a movie mention? This is Robin! Or it could simply be because I am looking for a copy now.

Yeah, a thread over we are trying to figure out what's going on with 38. I was high bidder for awhile, but then it took off in the last few hours.

SO thats who outbid me on #37
