Batman #237

5x NM guide for a 9.4??? Crazy! You know when the winning bid is almost double what Serpi bid, then you've paid too much.

 

Batman #237 CGC 9.4

That'll bring more of 'em onto the marketplace. Unbelievable.

Looks like a good greggy customer

[Foolkiller]

it is crazy. but bats 37 is one of the tougher books to track down in high grade. 5x is high though.

[Mephisto]

there are actually a good number of them in CGC 9.2 and 9.4 on the census. At least there are more of this book than a lot of the other popular Addams books. I sold my 9.2 to Dam like 2 months ago.

Thats the second one I've seen go for over $500 (Didn't serpi pay a little over $500 for his)

Anything special about that issue (other than Adams art)?

Hype?

As someone who is collecting Bats in that range pretty aggressively right now I can say that even though there are a fair number in the census, the fact that its a 48-pager makes it a tad more difficult to find in higher grades, there are usually spine issues with a number of copies I haev viewed. So why are there a good % in the census? Because its a sleeper popular issues for the Bats collectors. The cover brings in the Adams collectors and the Horror theme generates iterest with that niche, so all in all its one of the more sought after for those in the know. Just look at the list of bidders - the forum faithful were out on this one.

 

Having said that I will say that the $$$$ is and I will add it to my buy raw list.

 

Oh ya and maybe the movie, but at that price, I don't think that there is a lot of value left in the book from my pespective.

[chrisco37]

Thanks for the explanation. Adams + 48 pages + Horror (I hadn't even thought about the x-over appeal) = crazy money.

[Rocketeer]

....that's one of those books that you just got to have,...I'm not surprised by the price.....

[FlyingDonut]

$41.01 for VF+ raw!

$41.01 for VF+ raw!

 

I was actually watching this action FD and I think thats a good price to buy it at, I was just caught in the, do I spend $50 on a solid VF, or do I use that money and go looking for something in the 9.2 range - I wonder how much Dam paid for his 9.2

Well under half of what the 9.4 sold for...

[jbud73]

Thats what I figured, there are enough good raw copies out there if you do some digging that the buy raw and slab (if thats yoru intention) is still the way to go. I agree the price might bring more to market slabbed, but I still figure anything over $300 is kooky for a 9.4.

[rob_react]

I recommend the story, by the way. Good stuff.

[jbud73]

Yes I have a reader great stuff. Ah Batman 200-300

[shiverbones]

its one of my fave bat books as well. Classic!

[tth2]

It's the Contarino golden touch...
