quicksilver Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Many thanks for the kind comments chaps - the # 28 I actually took in trade along with a # 34 & # 38 from a customer last year, all raw, and had Matt redo the #28 & # 38 (they had spine tape) - I'm rather pleased with them. The # 31 I bought rather impulsively from CC last year after seeing it at the London Con, after I kept getting outbid on a 4.0 MP copy they had in their auction, which ended up selling for over $15K, less than a $1K cheaper than this 7.5 - I put it up in the Want to trade forum last year to see if anyone wanted to trade me a lower grade copy, but I guess no-one wanted to part with a low grade one.

Nice! Don't let the purple label bother you, that's a beautiful book in any slab colour in any condition. You actually HAVE one. It's a treasure to be sure. -J.

quicksilver Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I usually look for restored, it's all I can afford - my 37 came back blue though, I was pleased with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I might as well post my own recent pick up and admission ticket to this club. She is well travelled for sure but has now found a permanent home with me. I affectionately call her "Ol' Tapey". -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes think if Kane drew the 33 as a night cover loaded with a full moon and rolling fog (like the 29 and 31), it would be in ranks with the 29/31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And white pages to boot I thought you liked them tan Thank you Ciorac, I figured somebody would call me on that too . The "white pages" designation is certainly a nice cherry, but I would have still picked it up with Tan, Dark Tan, Pink, Brittle, or whatever pages it had, just to get one that I could actually afford. -J.

Silver Surfer Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ben I agree but I still love it. Great action shot, gun holster, just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes think if Kane drew the 33 as a night cover loaded with a full moon and rolling fog (like the 29 and 31), it would be in ranks with the 29/31 ....Or if one of the dudes in the car was holding a syringe to the other's neck. I personally dig all four of the "classic cover" pre Robin Tecs (29, 31, 33, 35). None of them come cheap, but I gave the 33 the nod for the first told 1930's Bats' "origin" story inside. -J.

Primetime Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ben I agree but I still love it. Great action shot, gun holster, just awesome. the gun holster and full webbed wingspan (quite different than 29) are underrated. We've talked many days on how the 29, 31, and even 35 have been selling at higher price points for several years now. 33 is still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
