ADAMANTIUM Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Averaging about $60 a book after sale with Texas tax, is neither bad for buyer nor seller. I understand some are raw and or vg condition, only a few of the whole. I won't ask profit, but if I had the $13,000 and already owned an asm 1 or af 15 then I'd have liked too buy it, deep thoughts after the fact is hard! haha One of those daydreams 😂 I hope it went well for all parties though!

They're gone...  Pretty happy the set stayed together though.

Popular Post Cpt Kirk Posted Saturday at 05:56 PM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 05:56 PM (edited) Here's something that I'm guessing no one has put together.... the entire run of all known Mark Jeweler variants in the title of Batman.  I was lucky enough to recently get a copy of Batman 247 from an ebay seller in the UK, which was the last known one that I did not have in my collection. Like the impressive Amazing Spider-Man run described above, the average grade is astounding (I would say average grade of the entire run is 8.5 or better).  The lowest graded ones are a couple of vgFN's (namely Batman 243 and 246, which can be seen below).  I'm convinced that there should be a jeweler variant of Batman 245, but I have yet to see one after 12 years of looking. In those 12 years, I've looked at more than 300 copies of Batman 245.  The only other issue that should have an insert but I'm pretty sure it was skipped was Batman 390. I believe the 390 doesn't exist because I've also been looking for that one for years. I also bought two different large runs of jeweler variants and the Batman 390 that was in those runs did not contain the insert (whereas all the other issues in those runs contained the inserts). If someone offered me a Batman 245 jeweler variant in FN or better to me for $500, I would gladly buy it.  I thought the $1400 price I paid for the CGC 8.5 Batman 251 was crazy until I sold my vg+ undercopy of that same Batman jeweler variant for approximately $700. For your viewing pleasure, the following images show the first ten known jeweler variants of Batman (these are all pre-100-pager issues).  These all contained the thicker "card board" inserts and if you look carefully at the bottom right corner of the insert shown in the photo below, you will see the alpha numeric code associated with each insert.  The Batman 243 insert is the one on the bottom and the Batman 253 insert is on the top (all of them are stacked sequentially).     Edited yesterday at 04:21 PM by Cpt Kirk Iconic1s, OtherEric, ADAMANTIUM and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Kirk Posted Sunday at 01:28 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:28 PM So with the Batman 247, I'm only missing 6 Mark Jeweler variants in the titles of Batman, Detective Comics, Superman, Action Comics and Justice League of America. Namely, Batman 245 & 390, Detective 470 & 548, Action Comics 579, and JLA 107.  Of those 6, the only one that I know exists for sure is the JLA 107 because I lost a bid on a vg- copy (it went for $91 dagnabit!).  The rest remain elusive. I think the Batman 245 and TEC 470 should exist but I can't say for sure. grendelbo, ganni and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
