This may be a turning point, but for the last 12 months, Bat 1 has consistently been the book that outperformed Cap 1. Cap 1 7.0 went for around $243k in CCs auction a few months back, so that’s my benchmark for it. I just think a Bat 5.5 will bring about the same money, is all. Whether I’m right or wrong, this will be an exciting race.

I thought so too. I get it that the cover and some pages are from a different book, but still. All original pages and cover!

+1. At the age of 64, I’m down to my measly 7 books here

We are 15 days out, and although there are more people tracking the Bat 1, there’s more money on the Cap 1. I predict a dead tie between them come hammer time. There. I said it

Heritage has a nice Cap 1 7.0 in their current auction, and I just got an email notifying me about a description update on the book: "We inherited the Captain America #1 upon the death of my mother, Ruth Knutson in 2005. It was originally acquired by my father, Dr. Andie L. Knutson (deceased), a social psychologist and professor at the University of California at Berkeley. In connection with his study and teaching of World War II propaganda in the 1940s, he bought this comic book because of the cover showing Captain America smashing Hitler in the jaw. We found the comic in his files after my mother died." Fascinating update, I think. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/captain-america-comics-1-timely-1941-cgc-fn-vf-70-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/7209-91066.s?type=notice-description-conditionreport-reservechange-060513

Wait, you too??!!

10 BUCKS EACH??!!

You should just give me your Planet 48 since I’m such a great guy

Wow. No doubt about it

Beautiful book. And let’s blast those home wreckers into space!

I agree, but this is the problem with CGC holders in general. I understand and respect the lure of surrounding yourself with many books. This being my 3rd foray into collecting, I’ve gone the direction of keys. Yes, I know I’ve got unrelated books sitting in a box, but I like it anyway. And since I’d be fearful of opening the books anyway(please dont judge me!), I am glad the temptation has been surgically removed by the encapsulation. I recently bought a Cap 1, and to get past the encapsulation, I bought a great page of the book(also in a CGC holder), as well as a cheap reprint. It makes me happy

Yes it is. And here’s the other end of the spectrum. Just finished an hour ago in the Clink auction

Anyone named Gotham Kid is sitting on 2 or 3 Tec 27s

Absolutely one of my favorites. I went a different direction. Wish I could have gotten them all!

Gator, you are a man of few words

HEY!. Those books seem so familiar to me somehow . . .

Bumping this thread for no good reason other than I’m tired of reading about Iron Man 55 and the like. Anyone got anything??

Leave him one of dickpontoons gems

The fact that this guy was so quick to tell you you’d lose value on your book by opening a Dispute makes me think this is not the first Dispute he has had opened on him. You were very civilized in the face of assholry

A decap cover in MMC!!??
