Batman #100 Is One Tough Book

[Poe]

I find copies but they are all rags. I've been told this is one tough book to find in decent condition and my personal experience is bearing that out. The last four copies I've held in my hand were probably in the 4.0-5.0 range and every seller wanted at least double guide at that grade. Just assumed a popular title and key issue number meant there would be at least a small supply of high grade books out there.

 

Guess I was wrong.

Superman 100 is the same. Even ratty copies are in demand and very few HG copies are out there.

There's one in the next CLink Focused Auction

And Metro has a couple

It's an key, in-demand issue. You're going to have to pay for those types of books, believe me.

hello all..

this copy of 100 is part of my run in the clink auction...I actually also have a 8.0 raw that is on the way to cgc to be graded, where I upgraded before I decided to sell the run...but I am likely keeping it, so I parted with the 6.0...

Bat 100 is one of those tougher to find 1950's DC books...very scarce in mid to high grade (5.0 and higher)

Oh well. At least I can take a little comfort in that my copy looks better than that graded 6.0 on Comic Link. Not bashing that book at all, it is actually better than most I have handled. Perhaps I'm thinking about it all wrong. Compared to whats out in the marketplace I guess I have a fairly solid copy now.

Sorry about chiming in late, I've been away for a day. Here's my copy of #100, I bought it raw from a guy from England on Ebay a couple of years ago for around $650. I sent it off to get slabbed a few months later and got this:

 

 

Here's the pre-slab raw copy:

Very nice book as it presents well.

Batman #100 and Superman #100 are truly RARE in high grade, and both very high demand as well. If a VF or better copy is for sale of either book, expect an unexpected very high sales price.

 

PS...welcome to the Boards....I have learned more here in 1 or 2 years than 10 years anywhere else.

I searched for this book last year at 3 different conventions, including San Diego. I found 2 low grade copies. So, I've taken it off my want list. (but kept #47)
