AnkurJ Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I've been told that 29 is harder to sell than 31. I can agree with that. Better cover = stronger price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show you that it is wise to know your comics...front to back. It was graded July 2000. I suppose it is very possible that Borock & company didn't miss it but the error was that it didn't get typed onto the label..? We have seen errors on labels before. Buy the book not the label.

Particularly, this bit here, "incorrect married back cover" Thought this might be worth pointing out...since, you know...CGC MISSED IT ENTIRELY. It's also missed in the body of text description ... "This copy boasts absolutely crackerjack restoration and beautifully presents as a high-grade book. The colors pop right off the page and you can almost sense the excitement readers of the era experienced upon seeing the foreboding visage of the newly-minted Batman on newsstands. The bright yellows and reds read well against the dark, gloomy brown and gray imagery. Looming above the gothic scenery is an exceptionally long-eared rendering of a troubled hero that would soon take the pop-culture world by storm. All early Detective Comics are highly sought-after, valuable, and important pieces of comic-book lore." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I agree with all points and I wonder if the price is being pushed, honestly I thought it would stay under 10K with a restored incomplete book, but it sure doesn't look that way sitting at 8200 with 10 days left.... Tough to accept to re-restore a book if you can find the correct back cover even. The back cover it has is VERY wrong not just a department number.

AnkurJ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Here is my Detective 29. It was the copy from the Phil Weiss sale. The tape has been removed from the interior spine, but the staining can't be removed without calling it restored. Spine is gone, so the book would a 1.5 or so?
