Screw the resto, I want this book...

[Solar]

My favorite cover of all time...

[Murph]

I've been watching that too as it is one of my fav covers also. The problem is I can't read the label, can you tell what the last 2 things are under the restoration?

Hmmm. All I can read is color touch, pieces added, and tear seals. As long as it's not trimmed, it'd be cool with me. I wonder what it was before the resto. I'm guessing his reserve is gonna be out of my league anyway, but I can still dream...

+ cleaned, reinforced

[PUNYHUMAN]

One of the greats of the Golden Age!!!

[Rocketeer]

Yeah,...that's sweet book either way,...hope you get it!!

[Timely]

I love that cover too, here's my copy.

 

Timely

 

[Mephisto]

"That's classic Batman -- he's more dangerous than the puny criminal (the Red Hood) struggling up the mountainside."

 

WTF, I thought the Joker was the Red Hood and that guy on the cover is The Monk.

I am watching this book as well. Since it is Neatstuff, my guess is reserve won't be met. I would take Timely's copy too!

[Solar]

Hey Timely - What grade do you place on your copy. Looks really nice. Any resto?

[sfilosa]

I believe I saw that copy at MegaCon.

 

I ask the price and I believe it was $10K.

 

Good Luck!!!!

[Murph]

Only double what it originally sold for. What a steal!

One of the things I love most about this hobby is how intrepid dealers rescue books from Heritage auctions and then list them on EBay with the exhorbitant reserves they so rightly deserve. It kind of reminds me of when I was a kid and I'd collect books and trade them with friends and...well, no I guess it's not quite like that. Anyway, I guess this is why God created GP Analysis....

[Doug014-migration]

I'd love to have this book too! I bid on it, but I have a feeling that it will end way out of my price range.

[Solar]

Yeah, I think I'll just wait for the next low grade copy to come along. According to GPA, a SP4.0 sold for $2530 and a blue label 4.0 went for $4772 just last November. Either of those work better for me than a 10K book with resto.

 

Still makes me drool though...

[Dr_Neff]

nice book, did you see all the capital city comics they are pawning off as weird store inventory "found" recently?

 

Better to put your 10K towards Airbus stock for when they merge with Boeing...

 

then buy your tech 27 with the profits, but DON'T buy it on the EAST COAST!
