Wayne-Tec Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I know it's a sad example, but can I join the club too? Not at all a sad example IMO. Nice looking PQ and as far as coverless books go, Batman #1 is one of my favorites. Fantastic Batman splash on the first page, iconic Joker splash on the second. How did you get the Jerry Robinson signature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I just went up to him and asked if he would sign it. It was the last San Diego con that he (and I went to). Kinda sad really, he was just sitting all alone in Artist's Alley. Got to talk to him for about 20 minutes. Real nice guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicsXaminer-migration Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) O.K. looking for a low grade copy - even incomplete copy of Batman #1 - the one from 1940 NOT the new one. I want a really sh***y copy of the original Batman #1 to fill-in a gap in my collection. I've had a succession of low grade copies, each slightly better than the last, but either traded them off or sold them for various reasons the over years. I'm currently looking for a 0.5 or NG if someone were to go by CGC grading guideline and terminology. Anyone who has a low-grade copy like what I have described for sale, can feel free to PM me Edited August 6, 2015 by ComicsXaminer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearmint Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 So what's FMV on the Bat #1 CGC 9.0 MP on eBay? A 9.2 B5 sold for $47,500 a few months ago, so I'm thinking maybe 40K? The only data point on GPA that's throwing things out of whack is a 7.5 EP that apparently sold for 60K in July. Seems really high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primetime Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 should be interesting to see where this ends up. Batman #1 That is one horrible, gnarly, hot mess of a Batman 1 will probably still go for a hot 8 to 10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Think the seller is right that the lower left corner is the result of rat or insect damage? Looks more like the effects of the pages being brittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the PQ it presents pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
