That's my old copy, is very nice. Perfectly centered which ain't easy to find on that book.

 

So true on the centering. Did you upgrade?

 

No. Gave up trying to find a nicely centered 9.6.

 

Nicely centered meaning no white on the spine at all? I've had 2 copies in 9.6 and seen a few others and this one is the closest I could come to "nicely centered".

That one looks pretty nice to me, wouldn't kick it out of bed. Couple of others I saw had too much white for my liking but that one would fit the bill.

I actually like the way a narrow white line looks there. Very happy with it on my copies. (thumbs u

 

Agreed, I can live with that amount of miswrap on a Bronze book if it's straight. It's angular miswrap I can't stand.

nothin wrong with a nice reader copy, besides you have the real deal. I'd trade all my BA books for a copy of Tec 31.

 

(thumbs u

 

I'd trade every book I own for the right Tec 31.

 

That Tec 31 4.5 is the right copy... I'd love a 4.5 copy of that book...I'll be happy with one of the 4 4.0 copies that are out there somewhere...

 

You mean like this? :grin:

In all honesty though, I'm in dire need of a Bat 227 upgrade. My 8.5 ain't doing it anymore. :P

 

Rocky Mountain 9.4 coming up in CL's auction in 2 days. Bid early and often.

 

hm

 

Gotta look into that, thanks for the info. (thumbs u

A 9.0 would hit the spot for me on a #227, sitting in a Mylites2 it would look just the business. My 8.0 will do as a placeholder for now.

Yup Batman 222 is very hard to find in decent grade at the moment

 

Grabbed this copy a couple of months ago.

So nice! :applause: This has always been one of my favorite bronze Bats. Wish I'd picked up a HG copy a long time ago...ah well.

I'd be very pleased with an 8.0. :cloud9: May have to settle for a cheap 7.0. :cry:

It was definitely a welcome addition to the collection Jon, thankfully it's HG enough for me to be a keeper.

I'll put your name on the backing board if you want Dave for when I upgrade. :whistle:
