Restored copies are the new unrestored copies For those thinking this can be unrestored, I highly doubt it. Would put a lot of work into it especially with the tape on the spine that is covering up the amateur color touch and then scraping off chunks of color touch which will result in who knows how much paper loss. The grade will suffer big time. Can the tape be removed safely without chemicals? Gotham Kid, Professor K and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I don't get it. The auction round just began so it will be over soon. I would think a Blue label 2.5 would be lucky to break 20 or 25 tops. I was surprised when this one reached 10,000. Now it looks to break 20. Yikes. Edit: Nobody else bid. 19,200. Edited April 9, 2022 by Professor K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Kid Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) If the sale goes thru, 19.2k for a low grade restored 36 is an all time record Edited April 10, 2022 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out at $7000 I also went in (I thought) aggressively at $8500 for the WFC #3 CGC 4.5 - nope, blown away. Definate upgrade shot, but $13,200 - wow.

D84 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Wow, 29 and 33 both have soft prices and 36 finishes strong. Next thing I'll hear is Will Smith is violent and Jim Carrey is the voice of reason. Gotham Kid, ThothAmon and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detective 36 is an underappreciated book. Early Batman cover and Batman deliberately kills a roomful of drug smugglers. Also the first appearance of Batman's first ever "arch-nemesis" (Hugo Strange), at least if you define that as a recurring villain. And the second in DC overall, after Superman's "Ultra Humanite" Gotham Kid, Larryw7, Point Five and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would classify Hugo Strange in the "Super" Villain category or at least a major villain. And the first in Batman history. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess up until sometime in the 1970's they were both just short lived characters. At this point Strange is definitely more well known. So you're right for pointing that out, he wasn't "the first" as I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
