  1. So hey, here's a thing that happened.

    Big thanks to Brantley/Stinger McK for working with me on this one!

     

    (Pardon the annoying streaks, which are from the scanner... slab's inner well has a bit of funky rippling which my scanner is none too fond of.)

    Congrats Jon :) The 37 was my first pre Robin I had acquired when I got into them. Full moon and rolling fog makes for a good Batman cover :)

     

    37 was my entry into the club also. Congrats! Love low grade comics that present well and this comic does that.

  2.  

    Looking at your sig line, you certainly appear to have most of the bases covered. :baiting:

     

    -J.

     

    Thanks but I really don't count the Det 33, 35 or 37 to be in this group. These are comics that I believe require a fanboy like us to appreciate and spend silly amounts on.

     

    Yes on my Cap 1, Bat 1 and Det 31.

     

    Forget Action 1 and Det 27 those are on another planet and IMO have less room to go up in value.

     

    Some examples of what I'm talking about are unrestored low grade Superman 1, Action 7, Bat 1, Cap 1, Det 31, All-Star 8 etc.

     

     

  3. Beautiful looking 2.5. Even at the price I was tempted but knew something major had to be wrong for a comic that looks 4.5/5.0 to grade 2.5

     

    Has 6" spine split at top and 2.5" at bottom. Loose from top staple and attached at bottom staple.

     

    That barely leaves 2" of spine that is not split.

     

    Still a stunner of a comic and should bring close to seller asking price. Would not surprise me if it sold for the asking price either. I would be all over it if price was $40K but then so would a lot of people.

     

    Bat 1

     

    Sold. Congrats to buyer and seller. :applause:

     

    How many unrestored Bat 1's even exist? My guess would be 500 range. Even if 1000 exist that is still low supply.

     

    Forget the comic community on this and a few other comics from this period. I feel a lot of people/investors outside comic collectors will continue to see these core group of key low supply comics as a solid investment causing prices to escalate monthly instead of yearly.

     

    In 5 years I bet any Bat 1 .5-1.8 with nice eye appeal will be $50K minimum.

  4. Beautiful looking 2.5. Even at the price I was tempted but knew something major had to be wrong for a comic that looks 4.5/5.0 to grade 2.5

     

    Has 6" spine split at top and 2.5" at bottom. Loose from top staple and attached at bottom staple.

     

    That barely leaves 2" of spine that is not split.

     

    Still a stunner of a comic and should bring close to seller asking price. Would not surprise me if it sold for the asking price either. I would be all over it if price was $40K but then so would a lot of people.

     

    Bat 1

  5. Received this one earlier in the week (approx. 13" x 20"). For a long time I'd been highly-dismissive of re-creations (which I'd always considered a pointless exercise), then I came upon this guy's work. I think it's highly unlikely that Kirby's FF # 6 cover art still exists (as I also believe is the case with a lot of early silver age Marvel covers . . . I don't subscribe to the theory of a hidden stash waiting to re-surface). No real substitute for the real thing, of course (and I'm not kidding myself on that score), but still impressive in its own right:

     

    Three more re-dos in my CAF Covers Gallery # 4, if anyone's interested in seeing what else I've opted for.

    That is crazy nice. Love it. Congrats.

  6. Well I did not think I would make it to the club anytime soon, but thanks to the seller boards, here I am! Now back to my low grade search for Tec 38.

    Nice score. Love the way it presents for a 1.8. Lots of potential for what seems to be the most undervalued of all Pre-Robin Tecs. Dark moody cover. Love it!

  7.  

    The last .5 incomplete missing back cover sold for $19000. Anyone have a picture of that Bat 1?

     

     

    what sale was this? a private sale? an auction result? don't remember seeing or hearing about it.

     

    Just going off the GPA data. Sold 9/25/2015

  8. Amazing result.

    So is Batman 1 a $20k per point book now?

    pretty much pending eye appeal and PQ. I've been offered more than that price point for my copy recently.

     

    What grade is yours?

    a 2.0, but presents much nicer than most 2.0s-3.0s I've seen.

     

    :takeit:

     

    Yes it presents very nice for 2.0

     

    This is the one purchase I did not make that I regret the most of all the times I have passed on a comic. Glad you got it since I didn't.

     

    On the other hand it taught me a lesson and that is why I have my Tec #35. If you truly desire to have a rare item in your collection quit whining about the price and manup.

     

    Besides in a few years the market will catch up. If not you bought it because you have a passion for it.

     

     

  9. Amazing result.

    So is Batman 1 a $20k per point book now?

     

    Help me with the per point value thing. So lets say .5 1.0 1.5 1.8 and 2.0 are the grades. If you say $20K per point that would be 1.0 value then 2.0 equals $40K? Then just take 75% of the $40K for 1.5 grade?

     

    The last .5 incomplete missing back cover sold for $19000. Anyone have a picture of that Bat 1?

     

    This is .5 incomplete but as with any comic once you hit SB or Brittle pages it turns off probably 95% of buyers.

     

    Eye appeal was definitely lacking on this .5.

     

     

  10. Someone else pointed this out to me. I'm pretty stunned.

     

    Same book right?!!!

    2015 Book http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=622318

    Anyone notice that the Detective 31 is now in a 5.0 holder?

    I guess cgc fixed it

    Well good for them. It was the right thing to do.

     

    I remember looking at comic at SDCC and no spine splits, now splits are visible so more than resub here.

     

    I'm not going after the comic but now any unsuspecting buyer not reading the boards will never have to find out years later that he has butt hurt.
