Is Batman 227 the "key" Neal Adams Batman book to have? 4 4

[supapimp]

I agree, Bob, but resistance is futile with this book for whatever reason.

 

My vote for the true "key" Adams Batbook is #232.

(thumbs u How can you go wrong with Bats 232?

 

not crazy about the lime green cover.

IMO 232 then tec 411

[BrianR]

My next big buy will be a 227 and a tec 395 I want to get them both in a 9.4 so its time to save money

 

Good luck finding a decent Tec 395. This is a real tough one to find in decent shape. Even more so than the 227 because it doesn't get as much press. In the last 9-10 months or so, I've only seen about three 9.2s and one 9.6. Of the 9.2s, two out of three had either crappy PQ or horribly mis-wrapped. The one 9.6 was a Twin Cities copy that sold over at Heritage for $3700+. I had a winning bid of $3585 on the TC copy until my internet connection came to crawl and someone else took it.

 

Wounded up having to overpay for the one 9.2 with W pages at CL.

 

I had two 9.2 Tec 395s last year and parted with the miswrapped copy. This one cost me $20 raw on the boards a year or two ago.

 

 

Not for sale, but these two will be sent to Joey then CGC in my next batch of Adams.

Specifically bought them as they have no white on the spines

[etanick]

it is friday and it is slow and boring.....so here is my contribution to this thread

 

 

I was going to include this book in my grading contest but I changed my mind at the last minute so here is the shot for the PQ guess that I didn't use. The book is not a 9.8 but I will let your imagination run wild on what else it could be...note how nice the interior spine look and the corner just from the pic. I withdrew the book from the contest because....no point on slabbing if I am not selling.

 

[etanick]

super sweet looking well centered copies. (thumbs u

[TeddieMercede]

IMO 232 then tec 411

 

How about we make a rule that the best Adams Bat book has to have Adams interiors along with cover. btw the interior pencils are a lot worse in Tec 411 then Bat 227, Irv Norvick ain't that bad.

The reason why I think the 411 is real high on the list is because thats when it all starts. First appearance of Talia al Ghul and when it first mentions Ra's al Ghul the best villain since the Joker.

Nick, you tease, give us a look at that cover.

[Rocketeer]

Yeah, superpimp mentioned that one a couple of pages back. Seems to be the same person who just bought the 9.0. It'll interesting to see where this ends up.

 

...I can confirm that it is the same person that bought the 9.0,...pretty smart if you ask me,...he is sure to get an outrageous price on his 8.5 after paying top dollar for the 9.0,...then again it all may be an intricate shilling scheme on my part to make people think that the 9.0 sold for $730.,....wish I could work that magic on my All Star Western #10 9.2 this week,.....

But when the books are slabbed the interior doesn't matter.

If you are talking most key book, then it is Bats #232 hands down. That is the only truly significant book in the run. In addition, I guess I am in the minority, but I do not mind the cover at all.

Same here!

I remember someone playing around with the colors on the 232 cover a while back, it looked good in the tan/brownish color they used.

[Brian48]

Yeah, it's in this thread somewhere. The brown looked nice, but I don't mind the green. I've always liked the cover to 232. In fact, it was the first Batman book I purposely sought and bought this year when I got back into the hobby. Followed by Bats 242-244 to complete the Ras Al Ghul saga.
