Chicago Boy Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Not that a book like Bats 1 needs movie hype but man the timing is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought I’d let go of it, but it’s time to help my daughter buy a house. Feels like I’m cutting off a hand, but family first. Sadly, with the way the real estate market is flying right now, it's pretty much the Bank of Mom & Dad if your kids ever hope to buy a home of their own. It's definitely family first when it comes to these gut wrenching tough choices and shows just how great of a parent you are when it comes to crunch time. Depending upon where your daughter is looking to buy a house, I guess the proceeds will either be going hopefully towards a good portion of the cost of the house or if not, at least a good portion of the down payment for her dream home. Will definitely be cheering your book on as your copy of Bat 1 closes in a couple of short weeks from now. Perfect timing for this book with how red hot the entire collectibles marketplace has been with the pandemic and now coupled this with the long awaited release of the new Batman movie later this week which certainly can't hurt either.

Crowzilla Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Don't know if the buyer of the Promise copy of Bat 1 was common knowledge, but I saw a pop-up ad today by one of the Sharktank guys promoting it over at another fractional share place. It's "only" got a 20% mark-up from the sale price of 4 months ago. https://www.startengine.com/batman1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am not Glenda Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 From what I understand the owner is AFA guy Tom Derby who also bought the promise Captain America #1, he is not a comic guy and bought them to resell them so I think the listing is legit.

What is AFA? i already thought the Cap 1 buyer was a newbie, paying that money for a book with rusty staples. I’d like to know who is advising him Edited March 5, 2022 by GreatCaesarsGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong; I'm actually happy about it. Helps my 3.5. But because I have one similarly placed in the lower end, I'm acutely aware of prices on these. And of course, you are right. There are no bad purchases in GA. There's just some you need to hold onto a bit longer than others. I've got em myself. I am not Glenda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Tom is THE guy when it comes to authenticating rare action figures in particularly the Star Wars Boba Fett prototypes. Each figure would come with a letter of authenticity with his name and signature on it. There was a day when he inquired about my Sensation 1 and asked how much I wanted to sell. We didn't get the deal done because he ultimately wanted a higher graded copy. I'm wondering if he was successful in buying one, but I wish him all the best in his collecting.

I don’t get it with Clink. They list a book for a million bucks, but don’t give a back cover.
