Certainly one of the tougher pre-Robin 'Tec books to find out there, although there have been a few popping up in the marketplace during the past couple of years. From these prices for this book, definitely still a highly underappreciated book, considering that it is after all is said and done, still the second appearance of the Batman. Action 2 has the same problem I have this guy's problem after all the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is rather sad to see the relatively large number of PLOD's and Conserved books in this collection, I guess the positive is that it keeps the prices down to a reasonable level for collectors like me with limited wallets who are at the bottom of the food chain.

Glad it was a cheap one. Nice pickup - I had a lowball bid that wasn't all that far from your winning one - you got it for a very fair price.

And on the few that qualify that I'm looking at the resto is limited to tear seals. I can have it removed and expect maybe a point or two drop in a blue label case.

If there had been fewer restored books then there would have been fewer books in the collection. That would have been sad because Jon is all about the books and there would have been fewer for him to use for research and to share. In replying in another thread recently, I happened to look at my copy of "Comic Book Culture" and in the introduction Ron Goulart credits Jon for assisting with over 300 images that would not have otherwise been possible to include. sagii and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you've got one from 10 years before your birthday, you should get a book for each of the years in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I am not a comic dealer, and thus I don't really sell books. If I were to sell, however, you and Gator are the first two people that come to mind. You, because you were the first to express an interest (and I know you love GA DC - so they would have a safe home, probably until you die). Gator because I believe him to be an honest man, and that is something hard to find these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Jon is most definitely a true collector and an aficionado for this comic book hobby of ours. Was able to pick up one of the Conserved Amazing Mystery Funnies on the first day, but really regretted missing out on one of the PLOD Fantastic's last night since it went for a relatively reasonable price. Gotta be faster on the draw with so many windows opened at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
