Primetime Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 These sales are decent price points but we also have to figure in the "timing" issue--who/when/what determines the FMV of that particular copy at that particular time. And this is even more true of the limited GA supply comparatively to the "dime a dozen" SA out there. I have sold enough GA that realized more than FMV at the time. Bat 1s are 200 strong total on the census and probably another 200+ raw copies out there. There's always a bat 1 on the open market but the right buyer, at the right time can realize more. Timing. That said, low grade Bat 1s are hitting $14k-$16k/point pending eye appeal, PQ, and timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino2paulus2 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 well you won't get any arguments from me about the Beauty of that CLink 4.0 that one is nice...I am intrigued myself as to what the Batman 1-6 bound volume may fetch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunky Brian Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well the Sparkle City .5 didn't hit $10,000 Did anyone honestly think it would? -J. I am actually amazed at how high it did close. It was a beyond ugly copy and incomplete to boot. +1. It petered out at just under the highest I thought it might go for, though I am a bit surprised it even broke 8k with such poor eye appeal. Looking forward to that 4 on comic link now. Any thoughts on FMV on that one? -J. I would guess in the $35k to $40k but given how high prices have been, maybe I am low That would be a smoking deal at those prices, I know for a fact certain buyers going to bid in the 55K area. 14K a point, with better eye appeal is the current market, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering a coverless, brittle paged copy missing the entire first wrap and centerfold sold for just under 6K, a copy with the centerfold, with the first wrap, with the front cover and superior, non-brittle PQ is a comparative steal.

The only problem here is the assmption that the 6K price for a brittle incomplete interior is sustainable. I don't think it is and I think that was a fluke and isn't likely to occur again.I can buy a nice complete interior for 7K ish any day of the week. There have been several sales on .5 copies missing the back cover in the 7-8K range which I think it right, after all I can buy a 3.5 restored copy for 13K, which is a better deal then an incomplete ugly beat up copy for 8K IMO.

Even if someone pays a little more than current market value, the long term investment potential is real and the satisfaction of owning a Bat 1 is fulfilled.

Batman #1 doesn't just have bulk-content -- it introduced, arguably, the two most famous villains in all of DC Comics -- in addition to being the first issue of the solo series dedicated to DC's more popular hero.

She is incidental to this book's importance/value IMO. It's all about the Joker baby. Did Luthor's first appearance in action slightly pre date the joker's in bats 1?
