I went into the service in 1966, and was eventually stationed in West Germany. Not really into comics at that time, but I did notice that when I came back to the states in 1969, all the silver based coinage was out of circulation...

I liked it too. According to this flyer, I was selling a VG copy in the 90’s for $500!

Bat 1 CGC 4.5 sold for $345k. Their asking price at Wondercon was $510k. Quite a discount from that.

As a community, we seem to be sliding backwards as to what we consider resto and conservation. CGC was established to control this now they seem to be part of the original problem. Money talks I guess…

The original problem was not whether something was considered resto and conservation but that people couldn't make a decision how they considered it because they didn't have the information which would lead them to one conclusion or another.  CGC put words on labels which controlled that, solving the original problem.  Colored labels inadvertently created a new problem because they went beyond identifying what was done to book and imparted an emotional assessment of whether it was good or bad.  (eg:  pen put to book purposely to fill in crease = bad.  Name scrawled on book that inadvertently covers a crease = good)     If CGC were leaving off the words describing the work, THAT would make them "part of the original problem".   But they aren't doing that.

If they now accept cyber-currency would that be two bits off?

Aren’t they about to start? Leaving the words off the label?

CC sold a 2.5 for $270k just a short time ago,  but before Crypto winter

Prices on some of the other Batman’s were strong, especially #16.  A little surprised at the QES sticker on the #22 with the ugly miscut.  I was really hoping to snag the #4 to replace my restored copy.  This one had great eye appeal and I am sure I will regret it in the future.

I have heard this only now.  That the words will not be on the label itself; just a grade.  But the words will be available via grader's notes.  I understand that makes it not as easy to identify the defects (intentional or unintentional), but it's still not the same as when the words were unavailable.

Batman 4 has turned into a pretty scarce book, and when it does come up for sale, it's very expensive. Higher than #3.

Don’t I know it.  I am just going to have to be happy with the one I have.

Nice group shot. I bought a 4 at WonderCon in SF as a 5.0 in 1998ish think it was Harley. I sold the book as a 5.0 person sent in to CGC came back as a nice 3.5. I said I would cover the grading fee and refund him the money and I did. I really thought it was a bummer but now I am Happy to still have it.
