Stevenrams Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I love it when I only paid 25 bucks for this book. An ad appeared in the CBG. The seller lived in Canoga Pak, a mere 15 miles from my home. I asked him if I could come in person to look at this books. All books were 25 bucks; most were Actions and Supermans, but he had a couple of 1950s Detectives. He was a real old guy probably an octogenerian. Anyway here's one of the books: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box #5 Slot 13. Yup, there's a place for them. Hey Rick, I have a very similar set of Batman'sd I am willing to part with. If you have another Detective 29 in CGC 7.0 you want to trade, I am sure we can work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 A few more gems I wonder if people realize how hard it is to find a nice copy of this book. Don't ask me why, but most copies have a dust shadow on them. Batman 10 was the last issue I needed to complete my run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Celtics Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 A few more gems I wonder if people realize how hard it is to find a nice copy of this book. Don't ask me why, but most copies have a dust shadow on them. Batman 10 was the last issue I needed to complete my run. I'm definitely aware of how tough this one is in high grade. This is one of the toughest in the early GA run to find in the lofty 9.0 and up range as it's the only one. It even beats out the other black cover books 3, 9, 13, 17, etc. Can't figure out why but I'm happy. And yes I've noticed this issue is almost always plagued with shadows and sometimes bad ones although this copy has a hint of discoloration along the right edge. The TEC 55 I posted is also curiously tough as it's by itself in the census with the next one at 8.5 and both originated from the same collection.
