I know that copy !!

227 is not just another NA cover. It is the NA Cover, yes, that one, the best one.

I respectfully disagree. These are all better covers than Batman 227 IMO.

 

uh-oh....sounds like a Adams cover vs. Cover Top 20 voting new thread needs to be created...

 

let the voters decide...

 

We already did a comprehensive Adams cover poll in 2011. Every vintage Adams cover was voted on from the 60s-70s. Here were the results with 1141 votes counted in the final round. Listed here are vote count and percentage of total votes for each book that made the finals. No surprise: Batman #227 ran away with the number 1 spot, followed by GL #76 and Bats #251 tied for distant second.

Unfortunately, the cover image links I used are dead and I cannot edit the post to fix them. I believe you can still vote though if you have not done so!

It looks like the Oakland 9.6 is coming up for bid in the next CL auction. Does anyone know anything about this book? It belongs to a boardie, right? I didn't know this was an old label book for some reason. Always wanted to see it.

[TeddieMercede]

Justin Case, your time has come.

[scooter99]

He might net more if he sold it in this forum.

[scooter99]

This 9.6 didn't fare too well on ebay tonight.

[Brian48]

Wow. It went for below 2k. Maybe the prices are finally coming down to earth? Good deal.

[conditionfreak]

I thought we all wanted prices to go up, up and away.

 

Or is that just after we get ours?

[kimik]

Late October until Xmas is usually a great time to be buying, not selling, on eBay and the auction houses. (thumbs u

Darn you! I was hoping this book wouldn't be mentioned here.

[solarcadet]

The love of Batman 227 has driven even the foreign editions into extreme scarcity.

The top staple is loose, so I'm not sure if it will be made into a 9.8... so I suspect standard 227 bidding on this book.
