Stevenrams Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 That Zebra cover is wicked! This is my "biggest"batbook.Beat but complete,and has the origin of Robin's costume in it to boot. I have a few Canadian and Australian ish's if anyone would like to see. The Detective 226 is very hard to find in any grade. It is much more difficult to locate than a 225. I have a raw copy too, probably about 3.5 or 3.0 and I'm very happy with it. It's a great book. Congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The Detective 226 is very hard to find in any grade. It is much more difficult to locate than a 225. Non-keys are almost invariably much more difficult to find than the keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im always running into key issues that are beyond my price limit. I would take a VG/F #301 for $40 over a VG/F #225 for $400 anyday. Its the ones that i never see that get my inner nerd goin.

Non-keys are almost invariably much more difficult to find than the keys. Actually, the 226 is a minor key. It continues the origin of the Martian Manhunter and it is his second appearance.

porcupine48 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The Canadian copies I am going to have to take snaps of. The covers to these Aussie books are like thick newsprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Here are two nice Batmans.They're both early fifties so I guess technically they're not Silver Age, but I wouldn't classify them as Golden Age either. I never did agree with the precise nomenclature anyway. Just my opinion. Edited December 18, 2011 by Stevenrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Here's my copy; I guess it's about a 3.5. Maybe I'll submit it some day to CGC. Of course, it could be a 4.0; it's not too bad a copy. HTF even in this condition! I bought years ago at the Shrine in Los Angeles. I know who I bought it from; his name is on the tip of my tongue. He claimed it was a 4.0. Of course these where the days before CGC. Now I remember; I bought it fgrom Steve Wyatt. Good guy with fair prices!
