frozentundraguy Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Here are scans a few more of my Detective Comics: Hepcat, Awesome books. (thumbs u I recall seeing #309 at a LCS a few years back. It was really low grade however, so I never did pick it up. I picked this book up at a LCS in the early 2000's, they had it hanging on the wall and priced very reasonably.

Hepcat Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It's a nice one alright. It looks better than an 8.0 from the pic. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Really nice books being shown in this thread. Had this for a long time. Bought it after just missing out on a copy so I jumped at the chance to acquire this first Ace cover: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 This is the first CGC book I bought from Harley Yee. When I saw this copy it was the nicest I had seen. Still is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Bought this back in 2001 from an original owner collection. The guy had made a ring file of scans of all his books and I had a real headache deciding which to go for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I looked and looked for a nice Detective #205. As a child I had read the Batman story in an annual and only a long time later saw the cover for this issue. In the mid 1990s I finally found a #205 not too low grade but it had very tanned pages. Found another in 1999 with nice pages but cover creases. Finally, I saw this on Metropolis site around ten years ago, called them, expecting the book to be gone, but here it is. I would be surprised to ever see a nicer copy but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Steel City Love that Detective 205. I've alwayswanted a nice copy. I also like the Batman 92 with the first appearance of Bat Hound. Great Books!! PS--Thanks for your nice comments on my books. I appreciate when collectors can enjoy each others' books. That's the fun part of the hobby! SLR Edited August 25, 2011 by Stevenrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I still can't get over the colors on that 230. What a sweet book. Thanks for your comments. It's definitely one of my favorite books and very hard to find in 8.0 or above. SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It's a nice one alright. It looks better than an 8.0 from the pic. (thumbs u I called CGC today for the graders' notes. Actually I was positive it would get an 8.0 because there is a little wear on the spine that cannot be seen in this scan. However, the first grader gave it an 8.5 and the other two--including the primary grader gave it the 8.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrchocholat Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Beauty 205 there Steel! heres a couple i have. THought the bat fans would appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Love those Catwoman covers from the 1950s. Second-highest graded copy the last time I looked. And this has the added attration of Catman as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I would have like liked a 9.0 of this book but then this copy came to my attention. I love the white pages which was one reason I bought it and the bright reds which look better in hand than in the scan (And I'm sure the book would like even better in a mylar, but I don't crack open my books) Slabbing is expensive when it comes time to reslabb. I've wanted Catwoman's origin for a long time. The story is reprinted in the paperback "Batman in the Fifties" which I bought at an LCS for 75% off cover price.

Nice book to own. I opened an ebay account back in 2000 especially to be able to bid on Lee Hester's Palo Alto collection. I really wanted the Bat #62 but, alas, was not successful.
