Silver Surfer Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This news won't have a measurable affect on demand for batman 1 , one iota. It already has insatiable demand. Get real folks and stop trying to spew hype (not directed at anyone , just a general response) Just be happy and hopeful we get a cool movie I wish it was Bale instead of "Afflack" as that would pretty much guarantee that it would be a classic. I just can't take Ben serious with his persona, its just doesn't work for me in this role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 this copy sold for $25k, which I thought was a strong price for an Ext.

Wayne-Tec Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 No kidding I hope Wayne-Tec was joking, I mean how much more iconic can you get he's just very enthusiastic... no harm (thumbs u Enthusiastic, me? Never! I agree with Rick to the extent that 1) the Joker doesn't need a movie to make his character known to the world and 2) people with Batman #1-level budgets are likely already interested in the book pre-movie. Of course, we still have to wait and see if Leto's interpretation of the character is a successful one. I'm optimistic on that front. What I can say, as both a GA collector and as a Joker fan, is that this makes me "more" excited about a character that I already loved. I'm more excited about Batman #1 knowing that a fresh, potentially thrilling interpretation of the character may be immortalized in film. So while it's by no means a primary motivation to love Batman #1, it is an additional factor that makes me more excited about the character and his earliest GA origins.

lhcomics Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Even the Batman 1 NG front cover only sold for $3000. That was mine from an eBay purchase last year where the seller had a matching front and back. I needed the back so I kept it. Sold the FC to Metro at SDCC to help fund my Tec 35. Hard to believe these are from same comic but they were both glued onto a binder. Matt did a great job removing them. The Front was on the outside of the binder exposed to elements and the back cover was glued to inside of binder out of harms way. Wonder what a nice back cover would sell for these days? Lots of .5 incomplete Bat 1's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at GPA, prices are all over the map for Bat #1. This listing shows one of the problems with GPA. If the eBay listing doesn't have CGC in the title, GPA's software doesn't extract it, so this sale isn't listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Interesting. I was also wondering about the Tec 27 CGC 2.5 that sold on CLink last year (but does not show up in GPA). I don't get it. Makes me wonder how much other info is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Click has never reported to GPA that's why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Click has never reported to GPA that's why This is OT, but I wonder what the effect of CLInk's not reporting is on the prices in their auctions. One school of thought argues that nonreporting supports prices. The thinking, as I understand it is that dealers like the nonreporting because it conceals the size of their markup from most potential buyers when they subsequently relist the book. So, if a book looks likely to close well below FMV, there is a good chance a couple of dealers will bid it up at least a bit. No idea whether that view reflects reality.
