So you started this thread to hype a book that you're actively looking for? Interesting strategy

 

What would be interesting is for you to convert your Batman #1 funds into cash and take a nice scan of that wad.....maybe entice a seller or two while you're at it

I bought this one from Filter about 4 years ago

A picture with the 100's fanned out, on his knees, begging for a batman 1. Classic..

Beautiful copy. I'd be thrilled to find a slightly restored copy.

Batman #1 doesn't need any hype. The market for this book has been nutty for a few months now.

Money doesn't seem to help as much as you might think.

 

Look on the bright side. Batman 1 is a fairly common book and your money should be earning interest. So by the time another copy comes up that's right for you, you can use that interest to purchase a copy that's a half-grade higher than you were previously looking at.

 

Unless the wife gets the money and buys furniture...

 

As long as the Batman 1 isn't rising more than 2.5% per year, I am good....oh .

Will it get less nutty once Dark Knight has be relegated to DVD and the summer movie season is over?

I think the economy is just as, if not more, responsible for the hike in prices than the success of "The Dark Knight". In a down market, tangible investments become more attractive. Batman #1 is a hot book for the same reason Amazing Fantasy #15 has jumped dramatically in the last few months. They're 2 examples of blue-chip stocks in the comics market.

 

Plus, they're cool.

my feeling is when the stock market and the financial markets , in general, rebound and offer a more "appealing ROI", we will see MANY copies of key books (AF15, Bat 1, etc) hit the market, and with increased supply, in theory, the prices should subside back down...

just my opinion

Sorry Jeff, I have two. Got the PGX one from an ebay store almost two years ago. Got the second one on ebay also. Its one of the 'no dot' versions. Its extensively restored. Not sure if it would get a 'P' or an 'A',. but the job isnt that great. Hopefully its not trimmed, but I'm not 100% sure either way.

if I had to guess I would say trimmed, but who cares! great books.

Any interest in seeing my Action 1 ?

I think I have the action 1. I know I have a few of these. One is a flash.

[nearmint]

It's a shame this auction is a scam. I'd like to own this copy...
