Bat-Hound

The big problem with this book is the spine unfortunately. Brittle edges at the top and some brittleness on other areas of the spine. The page quality is better and supple going away from the spine. The colours are pretty good going away from the spine, being somewhat off-white/white in most areas. CGC will classify brittle if noticed anywhere on a given book. I think slightly brittle is telling the book has some brittleness but not in whole?

Wow,,, Congratulations on your book!! I still like your estimate!! Not to many of these around even coverless or near complete. The front cover only missing a chunk sold for over 200K a while back! Incredible and probably worth it for long term investment.

Why not? I still have books like Tec #31 and Tec #33 unrestored. Can’t keep them forever, so time to let the Tec #27 go at auction. Of course I like your estimate $150 - $200 K

Front and back covers as shown in the old Fortress. Centrefold pages!

I’m the proud owner of this Detective #27. I purchased the book in 2003 and time to let it go! I decided to go the auction house route because it’s difficult to price out for a potential private deal. I chose Comic Link because it was my go to when I was buying books in the day. I started auctioning off books there around 6 months or so. Nothing but professional service and fast payments after books sold! CGC is accurate in their grading notes but it was hard to tell if the centrefold was married. The centrefold pages seem consistent with the page quality and sizing of the margins compared to the surrounding pages. The spine margins are slightly brittle but the rest of the interior pages are supple and off/white pages. I took some photos of the interior pages before CGC slabbed the book Here are the Batman pages from the book!

Received this from CGC recently. Before and after!

Finally had my restored Batman #1 slabbed. I have to say the grade exceeded my expectations.

That’s my book you won at Auction!!! Congratulations going to a new home!!

Yes, it will be in a CGC slab before considering selling.

Unfortunately I considered not to bid If I wanted to invest and keep for 5 or 10 years then I would pursue. Actually I may consider Auctioning my coverless sometime in the next year or two in a Comic Link focused auction. 💪

Wish I had the chance to add this front cover to my copy. Oh well I guess I must bid to try to win. If I can’t win maybe I will sell my copy in the next featured Auction after this😃

Pretty solid price! Don’t know the graders notes aside from the detached cover but a great looking copy!! Seems to be in line with the valuation of CGC 3.0 Detective #31 that sold on Comic Link for $131,000. Very impressive for both sales!!

Still a lot of money! Considering the past two TEC #69’s in CGC 6.5 grades previously reported sales in the $28,000 to $30,000 range. You would think discretionary money would push this book North of the 50K range. Very good buy for sure!!

I thought so as well. Why the soft price on this sought after Joker cover?

Nope!

The Fortress served my Golden Age book well for 25yrs or so!! Good luck with the sale!

I saw the Ebay post but I don’t know if it’s a confirmed sale or the add time expired?

HALLOWEEN contributions from two countries!! FRANKENSTEIN at his best🦇🦇
