Does CGC grade "Facsimile Cover Reprint" books?  

Any examples of this?

At least versions of them. Any thoughts? 

I think that Superman and Batman should be exclusive to DC.

Other production companies et al will mispresent Superman and Batman and make them ridiculous.

Hi -I purchased a Detective Comics #90..  it was either lost by the delivery service OR stolen in the process. 

Please message me if you see this book - photo attached. 

Thank you

Yes super cool  - rare cover with early Robin and Bat!

love this cover

Yes same here. It is pretty close to a "pre-Robin" cover and Batman depiction

I love this cover

Cool, yes it represents the earlier Detective Comics covers. I like that it's Batman w/ cape spread in front of the moon (and Robin is not too visible)

Seems to be undervalued

What about this one?

Love it!  This cover fits in perfectly! 

Hercules is a fairly prominent character in Marvel.. perhaps a "C" level character.  JIM #1 is a 1965 Silver Age book.. based on these factors seems potentially undervalued.   If the MCU moves him to an "A" level character, AND is audience is receptive, then the value will increase.  However I agree the market will dictate it's value. 

Is Journey into Mystery Annual #1 (Marvel, 1965) undervalued?  First appearance of Hercules.

As a small point of interest, the stone overpass bridges on both covers here look like many of the ones built over highways entering/exiting New York City, which was home to the DC Comics offices. Some of these arches have been shored up or replaced entirely over time, but others still look exactly like they would have to the cover artists in 1939 & 1941. Here's a small bridge north of NYC that I pulled at random from GoogleMaps; you can see the structure matches nicely the one on the Detective #54 cover.
 

Love this! Very cool to see the New York City influence that Bob Kane and the artists looked at for Gotham City inspired art!

Tec 54- The poor mans Tec 33

Someone was about to say it sooner or later

That is actually a good comparison.. while Detective Comics #33 is out of price range for many collectors (including me)..  I see Detective Comics #54 as a reasonably priced alternative.. with the same artist, same character, similar cover, and early 1940's Golden Age goodness.  This may qualify as "The Poor Man's Detective Comics #33!"

I think we covered this topic at length in the previous thread. Not sure there's been any breaking news since then.
