Huge price. Incredible splash. At this rate the Tec 27 bat pages should be 15-25k imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowzilla Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It's just still strange to me thinking of individual page values, but if the origin splash is $1500-2000, the Joker splash is $6-10K, page 3 is the Joker card, so it's gotta be $1500-2000, each of the other five Joker 1st story pages must be $600 or more each, so that is $12-15K for the first 8 pages. Other story pages with Batman have to be $300-400 each, plus the other Joker splash, the unmasking of Catwoman page, and then the centerfold (which is also a Bob Kane feature page). Those last three have to be $1500-ish each, so break up value of the interior pages now seems like it would be $23-28K. Plus covers, I cant see any reason even a restored copy should bring less than $30-35K now as you could probably pull it apart and extract that value.

I'm struggling with believing this Hi, You have a page from the same book right? Page 3 was it? I have page 8. I'm doubting it was sold for 10K also. I believe they are from the exact same book as this splash page. Another Joker splash just sold on 12/15 on CC for 4,600. I don't know why both of them have the same lower corner cleanly cut as they do. https://www.comicconnect.com/item/892770 Edited January 5, 2021 by Professor Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 This copy has been sitting on eBay for about 5 years at or around this ask price. Maybe it will finally sell. It only has several forms of amateur resto and is missing 8 wraps and the back cover. Worth every penny 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are right: the CC page is not the same page as the eBay page, despite the peculiar corner cut. The game is afoot. Professor K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action252Kid Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just to clarify, I was the seller of that Bat 1 page (Joker splash). Sold it for $6,305 at auction back in August I believe (should be on GPA).. buyer asked for time to pay for it, but it had dropped off of eBay before he was ready to pay (he took a little longer than we had originally planned). I re-listed it and he bought/paid for it over the weekend. The odd price was just the original sale price (plus $15 s&h) from the auction sale. I put it up at $10k with 'make an offer to owner' on it, so that nobody else would hit the BIN while he was finding the auction and checking out. (so it was a real sale) Dark Knight, Pokecollectoramy and LDarkseid1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a bit confused as to the similarity between yours and the CC page - the 2 pages are different, and yet both have that peculiar corner cut. Do you have any insight on that?

Yeah that is weird! Definitely two different pages though! Just a pure coincidence really. These parted out pages generally come from really low grade/incomplete books to begin with, so being a page from near the front of the book, pieces/corners out would make sense.

LDarkseid1 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I didn't realize this was put up for auction. It was on ebay and I think Mycomicshop for years at one point. I think it was sitting around $5K or so back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, well happy it finally sold because it was up for a while. There was a time I had a CGC .5, needed a back cover, and was heavily considering buying this. I guess going the resto route. Problem was two of my interior pages were missing 3/4th of each page, so just wouldn't have made sense regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s otherwise untouched for me I don’t care if it’s in a purple or conserved case , Until it comes time to sell it because a Conserved copy will sell for much much more than the exact same book if it's residing in a Restored PLOD slab. On 10/11/2020 at 7:28 AM, Drgoldage said: True conserved would be better for resale and I’ve considered that but reluctant . My initial conversation with Cgc was that they would never change a restored Label to conserved if the book had been cleaned chemically ( the only thing done to this book ,in a ill advised attempt to remove a slight sun shadow on right edge ). When did you have this initial conversation with the people at CGC as the serial number indicates the book was graded back in 2009? Just wondering if you are aware that CGC has made significant changes to their Restoration Grading Scale and it seems it's never a good idea to say "never". From their changes back in 2014, it would appear that Cleaning (both water and solvent) have now moved out of the much dreaded PLOD category into the more buyer friendly Conserved category: https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/4084/ Conservation Repairs Conservation repairs are performed with the intent of preserving the structural or chemical integrity of a comic book using professional techniques and materials. It excludes aesthetic repairs such as color touch and piece fill. All conserved grades must satisfy the CGC quality scale of "A" and quantity scale of "1". Tear seals Spine split seals Reinforcement Piece reattachment Some cover or interior cleaning (water or solvent) Staples cleaned or replaced Some leaf casting De-acidification Then again, they also talk about cover and interior cleaning in their Restoration categories up above at the same time. So, who really knows for sure, certainly NOT CGC. Chicago Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
