Congratulations! That's not such a bad looking copy either. How long have you been pecking away at your Batman run? Off and on since 1986. I was 14 when I started so I wasn't able to get many SA books due to my limited funds at the time. The collection really has come together over the last 6-7 years though.

Thanks guys! It has been a long road putting together this run. Yeah, 118 is super tough to find above VG. Group shot? I might need to get on the roof to get all books in one shot! I still have holes to fill between 100-113 and upgrades to make though...

With this comic I now have a 600 issue run of Batman (113-713). Not the best looking copy, but it will do for now til I find one in Fine or better.

I had no idea there was a tape stain, so I don't know bad it is.

The grade bothers me. Structurely, this is probably an 8.5-9.0.

Yep. I didn't realize there was a tape stain inside. I probably wouldn't have submitted it had I known. I was hoping for an 8.0 or 7.5 at least.

Speaking of upgrading, I wasn't planning on needing to upgrade this. Just got it today.

Just got these two I submitted at Wizard World Austin this year. I think the GL 16 got hammered a little too hard though... Back cover This one turned out better than the 6.0 boardies were predicting:

Well it will make it easier to complete my run and upgrade the issues that need upgrading.

Yes, it is! Are you up on your reading? I always wonder when I see your "wall" of pull list. Yeah, and I'm reading a stack of trades as well! Books with the * at the end are from DCBS, so I have to wait for them.

How did something that fugly get by with White pages?

Bid war maybe?

I missed the auction last night, but that's ok. Most of the books I was watching, went for more than I was willing to shell out for.
