Detective Comics 31. I've already had a 35.

I agree. Not to isolate any one person, but anyone who wonders why so many major collectors and dealers stay away from these boards just needs to read above at the childish and/or unnecessary banter that was posted by some people. Not only does this thread address a very serious issue between two collectors that has now unfortunately taken a public turn before resolution, but the response by others certainly doesn't encourage new forumites who wish to discuss serious issues to join these boards. A lot of childish banter does take place on these boards, sometimes that makes them fun. Other times, tedious. But to be fair Mark, in the area of disclosure you should applaud forumites who share their honest experiences with dealers. If they are being dishonest, then shame on them. But if someone has a legitimate beef or problem with a dealer that was not resolved to their satisfaction, then what is wrong with sharing that information? Even if it is with someone of renown? I had a bad experience with Dave, does that make him despicable? No. Was it a crappy deal? Yes. Would I buy from him again? With caution, extreme caution. As far as Steve Fishler is concerned, I may take issue with his grading sometimes (as I do with most people because I am harsh), but he is a very honest, forthright guy. In my dealings with him, that go back many years, he has always been straightforward with me, and stepped up to the plate to make things right when he didn't have to. Not that he needs me to defend him, but if he did, I would. My No, no, you are misinterpreting the focus of my rant. It was not directed at Dave, or either Steve (although I personally did find Steve F's comments against Steve C. unnecessary (though I understand why), I did not find them childish as they clearly were substantive and dealing with the general issue). I was reacting to the majority of other posts that were nothing but goof ball comments that served absolutely no substantive purpose whatsoever. Those posts are quite clearly identifiable and were, no surprise, made by many of the same people who virtually always follow the same path. I wholeheartedly encourage forumites to openly share their experiences, whether positive or negative, with dealers or other forumites. And, yes, to those who mentioned it, this is a "message board" though I fail to comprehend why that means adults should act like *spoon*. Of course, as you say, sometimes that makes the boards fun but such conduct should take place in appropriate threads. There are numerous light-hearted threads created in this section but this thread was certainly not one of them. But to each his own. I'll primarily stay in the GA section where this conduct rarely surfaces. I'm sorry, but I thought you were a lawyer. Try reading the Bill Of Rights. I appologize for sounding like a here, but when people talk about censorship, I get very angry. If you really meant it, shame on you. If not forgive me.

Agreed. For shizzle.

Batman 1 Detective Comics 38

Not sure why, but 108

Batman 11 is a true classic cover. Probably the best Golden Age Joker cover.

To me it detracts from the value. Nicholas Cage is on top of my over-rated "actor" list. I know I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Superman 1. It has more growth potential.

Was it the picture of my beater that did it?

DETECTIVE COMICS 33

DETECTIVE COMICS 27. Of course, I'm a Batman nut.

Those look nice.

I'll take the $8700.00.

DETECTIVE COMICS 35

Just wondering. Do you mean Mother F@*ker 53 or More Fun 53. Just messing with you.

More Fun #53

DETECTIVE COMICS 38 NM ALLENTOWN

Mine is worse than that. It has already been posted so If you'd like to see a scan please PM me. But, here's a description. The cover is split completely down the spine which has been taped. It used to have the wrong back cover, but I picked up the one from Metro that had no front cover. I carefully peeled the tape from both back covers and attached it to the old tape of the other copy. I only put tape over old tape to hold it together. The book will be sent to Matt early next year, so I thought attaching tape to tape isn'ta big deal. The first warp is detatched from the body of the book. It's a beater, but these pre-Robin Detectives are really hard to find. It is a great Batman story.

Can I be "Loquisha"

DETECTIVE COMICS 27

I saw a cgc 1.5 on comic link go for over $5000.00. That's why I think a 3.0 would be more.

The Detective's for me. Please let me know where I can get a unrestored GD/VG 29 for only $5000.00.

Maybe, but nothing says man-love like Cap and Bucky. You're right there. Bucky is FABULOUS!!!!!
