Putting together a Batman run.  Started with #217 since I believe it was the first book on stands in 1970 (Published December 1969), but may go back a few and start with #214 (1st 15 cent copy).  Either way haven't decided where the ending point is going to be.  Thought about ending it around 1980 with issues #318/319 but am not sold on that exact ending point just now.  Anyway here is a few I received this week, with #227 arriving Monday.

Back in the Summer of 1995 Geppi/Diamond placed ads for the "Gold Key Archive" in their publications like Overstreet Fan.

I called them (Ann) up ordered some inexpensive books, both Little Stooges in my current signature for example, as well as some TV photo covers.  My "best" pick up in hindsight was Scooby #9 which is the exact copy pictured in ad

While I was not going to submit until Q/C actually existed again at CGC , I still had a credit for my club renewal last Dec - renewal is now turned off - so I dropped off a small stack at NYCC and have kept my fingers crossed they actually return to me without damage or worse not at all.  Anyhow my Scooby 9 is back home :).

This exact book carries huge personal memories of that summer.  Some on this forum, not to mention a good buddy of mine, whine about or carp or scoff at any book without White Pages and this one is only Off-White but I'd rather have no other copy of the issue no matter the grade or page quality!

While I fully agree with the grade I've seen many worse looking 9.6's .This book presents much nicer than a 9.4

A $2 1995 pickup from "Rino" my go to local show seller during my early college days. I acquired so many great books from him for what at the time was slightly under guide.  He was a great conversationalist and one of only 2 Comic Dealers I've ever personally met that I feel was truly honest. Dude was a total straight shooter.

Back from CGC this week one of my "Rino" WBN's - not pressed. All you WP only snobs folks please avert your eyes now as this one is ow and I simply could not care less! My $2-$10 1994-1996 purchases from Rino are priceless as they bring me back to what was an exciting time in my life.

I have been keeping my eye out for a high grade copy of this. Had to pull the trigger when I finally saw one for sale.
