Grade A Few Batmans, Please!!

[nik]

#37 is a Double Cover, the inner cover is slightly better. All the back covers look similar to the front ones, nothing worth mentioning.

 

#39

 

#49

[KingOfRulers]

#37 = 4.5

 

#39 = 7.0

 

#49 = 6.0

[verygoodplus]

#37 = 4.5

 

#39 = 7.0

 

#49 = 6.0

 

 

That's a nice, conservative evaluation of these books. I might be inclined to add .5 to one or two of them.

 

#37 has the creasing at the center, but it's rather faint -- does it carry all the way through the center of the cover? #39 is just plain sweet, the corner crease hardly detracts from the eye appeal. And there is a bit of funkiness on the #49... I'd like to see that one in hand to make the call.

 

 

Heck, I'd like to see them all in hand. Nice books, Nikos!

I was confident with the #37 being a 4.5. With #39 I was having a hard time deciding between a 7.0 and 7.5. And #49, it looked like there was some chipping on the right side of the book, but it was hard to tell how severe so I went with a 6.0.

 

And I too agree that they are nice books!

[nik]

Thanks, yup the crease is what I would call a "subscription mail order crease" and it does go through the whole book (very faint though)

almost forgot 1 more

[nik]

On the 37 I would tend to agree on the outside cover being about VG+, the inside cover I would grade a liitle higher.

[KingOfRulers]

Yeah, I get what your sayin' Niko.

 

As for the Batman #244 I'd say it is a picture perfect 9.0.

[verygoodplus]

Of course the double cover would be the one with the subscription crease...

 

 

 

 

 

As for the 244, I'll say 9.2.

[divad]

4.0 / 6.5 / 5.0

 

and lastly 9.2

 

Nize books!

37 FN-

39 VF-

49 Is the top right edge trimmed? It looks kinda odd, but could just be weird GA production issues. If it's not trimmed I would give it a VF- (unless I'm missing something that's causing everybody else to slam it )

244 VF/NM

[nik]

Dont know if its trimmed, but I will find out hopefully in a month.

[Aces]

Some of you are way too strict!

Golden Age curve alert!

 

#37 = 5.5/6.5(just a guess on the inny)

 

#39 = 7.5

 

#49 = 7.0

 

And 9.2 on the 244!

 

How soon you guys forget the nikos factor!

[verygoodplus]

Some of you are way too strict!

Golden Age curve alert!

 

No GA curve for Diva!

Well, I guess we'll see in about a month

If Nikos says it 4.5 in hand . . . THEN it's 4.5 in hand

[verygoodplus]

Since these are headed to Sarasota, let me finalize my guesses on the GA books:

 

#37 = 5.0 (1st cvr: 4.5 / inner cvr: 5.0)

 

#39 = 7.0

 

#49 = 6.0

 

 

 

 

(Not trying to be a copycat, KingOfRulers. Chalk it up to great minds, and all that... )

[nearmint]

I think everyone is low-balling that #39.

 

8.0, slight chance at an 8.5.

[divad]

8.0, slight chance at an 8.5.

 

Perhaps, but what about the 3/4" to 1" crease at the LRFC? It breaks color, even if the color IS white. . .

[Larryw7]

Absolutely beautiful books. I'll defer the actual grades to the experts, but those are all very desirable books(and #37 is my favorite Joker cover).

[inconceivable]

#37 VG/FN 5.0

#39 VF 8.0

#49 FN/VF 7.0
