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

That's what I am trying to figure out. I know there is talk of Robin being mentioned in the plot for BvS and Suicide Squad, and there's the Titans TV show, but i don't get it.

And now people are going to start charging insane prices. Yay!

I will look at it longingly at Heroes

The Tec run was fun to watch on eBay last night. Except for the part where I lost #38.

Ugh. I picked a helluva time to finally start looking for one. I wish I had done it a couple of years ago.

Well something is certainly going on. A 2.5 restored sold for around $4,800 earlier this year (if I am remembering GPA correctly) Tonight a .5 restored (trimmed, with wrong back cover) sold on the Bay for $5,300 Over on ComicConnect a 1.5 restored (large pc of another cvr glued to int. cvr,) is at $5,400 with 13 days left. The 4.5 restored that Gator had for sale last month is looking like a steal now.

Finally got shipping on my Economy Sub. 104 days.

103 days and counting on my Economy submission. 13 days since they finished encapsulation.

You still have a bit of a wait to go. Pretty sure economy is over 120 day TAT. They have been sitting at graded for almost 2 weeks now, so heres hoping.
