jimjum12 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) Just got this all the way from Hawaii....courtesy of senbi575. GOD BLESS... -jimbo( friend of jesus) (thumbs u this book looks much nicer than a 7.5...must have interor tears or something? did you get the notes? It has a small piece missing at the top of the spine and about 1/4 " spine split/tear....the kind of defect that goes good in a slab. It's hard to see and the book looks great without it....glossy and flat. The dust shadow on the back is a lot less noticeable in person. One thing I like about SA D.C.'s is the way the cover stock stays so white. I guess I'm lucky that a book like this that I've ALWAYS loved is soft in today's market....I got it for half guide. Ben got it for a good price too...but he's into Spectre More Fun covers and wanted to free up the cash for those. I really couldn't afford it....but we're starting to get OT at work again and I couldn't resist at that price. It's the first copy I've ever owned....and I agree with Atlas and JohnT.....it's gotta be one of the best covers ever.....and if you look real close in the toll bridge lane directly below the words "slow down", you can see the Batmobile in line behind a Cadillac. I guess Batman and Robin were too busy doing something else to jump out and help GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Edited July 2, 2009 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNYHUMAN Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Congrats Jimbo. That is a undervalued Silver Age Key. Have one myself , not as nice as yours , but still a vg + at least . One of the best covers in the Silver Age IMO also. Joe Kubert shines inside also . (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Did you do a Buy Now on this with eBay, as I noticed there were two copies that came up, but only one sold. What a great book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Silver-Age Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just got this yesterday. Thanks to forum member byosti. I am resubbing it next week. In hand the book looks like a 9.0 Either way, I am happy. Been after this one for several years. I'll keep everyone posted on the new grade....

october Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just got this yesterday. Thanks to forum member byosti. I am resubbing it next week. In hand the book looks like a 9.0 Either way, I am happy. Been after this one for several years. I'll keep everyone posted on the new grade.... Going by the front cover alone, the book could have a 9.6 on the label and I would believe it. I was going to buy it myself, but it had already sold. Nice pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Silver-Age Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ya. It's not quite a 9.6, but I honestly would not be shocked if it got a 9.2....Back cover is very clean. Just a little date stamp on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been after this one for several years. I'll keep everyone posted on the new grade.... That book was a steal....I don't see how it could get any less than 8.5, with a real good shot at 9.0....such a cool book. Congrats.

LloydJBailey Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I hate that CGC sometimes under grade. It's irritating, I hope they never undergrade a book of me, i'm all for them overgrading tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber-Bob Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ya. It's not quite a 9.6, but I honestly would not be shocked if it got a 9.2....Back cover is very clean. Just a little date stamp on the back. I would get the grader's notes first. You are correct that it is a handsome looking book but I suspect there is a hidden defect. Rusty staples, detached centerfold, page tear ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
