G.A.tor Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 You'd be surprised. I bet there are dozens of boardies that own a bat 1 (or more than one) With blue 3.0ish copies currently sniffing 50K a pop. I would not hesitate to call it offending to own MORE than one copy of Bat1. This book is not for hoarding. only pic I could quickly find....most Ive owned at one time recently was 5...here are 3... obiedagod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Connect auctioned off a 3.0 last night with off white/white pages for $35,500 but cover was grainy/stains. i took a little run on that one too, but it was lacking in eye appeal so you would gladly pay for for a lesser than 3.0 grade copy if superior eye appeal was present..?

Ameri Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Alas, I have no Batman 1 anymore. Got my first one, a Good-, at a Creation Con for the then astronomical sum of $600 back in the 70's. Wish I had a shot of it. The black border copy was in 2007 and the stained copy was in 1995. Highly unlikely I'll be able to afford another one again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldMan Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Jerry Robinson copy purchased in 2012 from All Star Auctions. The spine is completely split, but I love it. Jerry Robinson had three copies, and GAtor got the best copy as usual. I'm going to keep this until I die or go senile, whichever comes first.

Highly unlikely I'll be able to afford another one again you can afford another copy Ok, here's my current (and second copy I've ever owned) copy. There's a story behind every book and here it is as I was told: Mary was given 3 comics. She stored them at her parents house. She just discovered that one of the 3 comics was an original Batman #1 from 1940...Mary was a young (20 yrs?) lady traveling in Alaska. A male aquaintance asked her if she liked magazines. She said yes and he gave her 3 comic books. Batman # 1, Fight Comics #5 and Jumbo Comics #15 (all around same time period). Mary took back home to Washington state and stored them away. When going through her parents estate 40 years later she rediscovered the comics. After CGC and stopping briefly through two dealers, I acquired the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhcomics Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Paid $400 for this about 2 1/2 years ago and no I did not rip anyone off.
