SteveLRoberts5 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 At San Diego Comic-Con, I submitted a Detective Comics 190. Came back a CGC 6.5. Hooray! Steve Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLRoberts5 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 At San Diego Comic-Con, I submitted a Detective Comics 190. Came back a CGC 6.5. Hooray! Steve Roberts I will add that the issue contains the origin of Batman. There are only four in the census. Not certain when CGC has updated their census report. The highest graded is a 7.0. My copy graded a CGC 6.5. I bought the book in 1994 from Fantasy Illustrated out of Seatlle owned by Dave Smith. Haven't seen or heard about him from years. He had a store in Anaheim area of So CAl, but then moved his base of operations to Seattle, WA. I bought the book at the Shrine Auditorium. It was a grail of mine at the time. When Busted Flash comes over my house this Saturday, he'll scan the book for me. I've forgotton how! StevenRams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love is not love which alters when alternation finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O no! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken. It is the star to every wondering bark, whose worth is unknown, although his height be taken. Love's no Time's Fool, although rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love's alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. For Edward Kennedy--Shakespeare knew what marriage was about; a rocky road indeed. We'll miss you Ted; I will attend Saturday Services at my local synagoge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 heres a closeup of my Showcase 4. probably somewhere between 7 and 8, maybe ... its a poster child for everything I moan about on the boards since I got here, about how this was such a killer copy for years in my collection, but now that I see 9.2s and 9.4s it pales in comparison. Every time I look at it, I see more and more little things that make me go grrrrr. This copy is brilliant and still raw which is refreshing to see. Aman I never imagined that you were a hoarder, you have some nice books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
