What about Batman 150-200?

as long as not grade conscious, very easy to put together... now in high(er) grade, tough

You GA'ers.

 

Is there a reprint of Tech 168 out there ?

 

I'd like to read one as I never have.

Wellll...not so much #170-up.

 

#150-#159, yeah....

 

I just sold a #200 in 9.0, (white pages), and have another waiting to be subbed that I'm hoping for a 9.4.

 

They're not too hard to find. Granted, they're no Spidey, but they're not that tough.

 

You can put a mid-grade (VG/F) run of Bats #150-#200 together for less than $500, easy. There are only two keys in the run (#155 and #171.)

Mid-grade 150-200 is fairly easy, but 100-140 is a different story. I'm missing 10 or 11 issues to complete that run. I'm happy with a nice 6.0 or 7.0.

I still have most all my 100-200, with the majority being vg... very easy to complete, but gets much tougher in the fine or better criteria/range

Absolutely. Especially #100-#130. I have a realllllly nice #132 that, sadly, has a large crease on the cover...otherwise would be a 9.0. But the others, tough, tough, tough. I have all of them, many with multiples, and maybe 2 in Fine or better. Maybe. Rest are all Fair to VG.
