[batman_fan]

Just saw it list in the upcoming Comic Connect auction, it has been a while since I saw a blue label copy (actually any copy)

 

Detective 1

It is going to be extremely interesting to see what this goes for.

[Johnny545]

Yes, going to be interesting....

[Primetime]

Been awhile since a blue label came up for sale...

[The-Collector]

Is that a de-restored copy?

[PUNYHUMAN]

It looks like a Cookeville copy also. Those off white pages are sweet also.

[Vision75]

Super tough book.

[Cyclops]

Predictions? What'll this sell for?

[SupergirlDC1959]

My favorite book of all time (to me the cover is the coolest ever as well)!!

Any idea when this book was graded?

 

I wish they would just put the grading date right on the label.

Relatively speaking - because Gerber underestimated the prevalence of most books - I think Gerber was off on this one. It's rarer than many books that are listed as 8s and 9s. Only 13 have been graded universal by CGC and only 30 total.

 

 

[circumstances]

in my experience it is less common than other sevens.

i believe it to be accurately detailed by Gerber as a 7...21-50 copies

Board member Shrunkenhead had an interesting thread a couple of years ago about his adventures obtaining a copy. Involved a bidding war at an estate sale at which, iirc, a couple of the competing bidders were soused.
