I was going to go hard after it as I have the 3 Batman books from this arc in 9.8, but decided to hold off as I had other stuff coming up at the same time. Beautiful book and the wrap looks really great. Congrats! HouseofComics.Com, ADAMANTIUM and Brandon Shepherd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also going for this beauty from the same seller but once the price went past $70 I decided I wanted the #556 more. There are some great Detective covers in this era.

Cpt Kirk Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 On 12/10/2019 at 11:53 AM, RockMyAmadeus said: Yes. We're starting to see significant yellowing on books from 1988-up, while 1982-1987 books are in better shape. Compare a Batman #428 with a Batman #360. Crisis on Infinite Earths is a great example: most copies are still very white, because the paper was of much higher quality. But you get into the late 80s, and you're starting to see interior pages taking a beating. Compare the interior quality of an ASM #316, for example, to a #275. Night and day. The same thing's happening with covers. The garbage stock that the publishers used starting in 1992 is starting to rapidly deteriorate. Pull out a copy of Wonder Woman #72, and odds are, it's going to show tanning, unless it was stored in Reynold Jay's freezer. Interesting. It makes me glad that I made the decision to store all my comics in mylites (that is, thin mylar) back in the early 1990s. That, plus the buffered backing boards, tight packing, and low humidity seems to have left them in really good shape. By now, I would have changed those poly bags about 7 or 8 times now.

Martin Sinescu Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 @Brandon Shepherd You should go back to Detective 529 and pick up the Nocturna storyline from the beginning to really understand her appeal as a sympathetic character. Well worth it, IMO. Cpt Kirk and Brandon Shepherd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAR1979 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Hi, Question: Until seeing this topic I considered pre-Crisis issues of Batman Bronze and Post Crisis Copper. Is that totally wrong? If so what is the estimate cut-off issue # speaking of Batman and Detective. Edited May 1, 2020 by MAR1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brandon Shepherd Posted May 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 I won this on ComicLink recently for what I thought was a low price, compared to the average I got from a few recent sales. Another 9.8 just sold on eBay for $83 more than what I won my copy for. I didn’t buy this to flip but it’s nice to see books you have sell for higher prices than what you paid for them. I haven’t followed the prices on GPA or paid much attention to the hype surrounding Black Mask’s screen debut in the Birds of Prey film. I also haven’t heard good things about the film. I will be curious to see where prices will go from here. I have read this issue and the sequential Detective and Batman issues introducing Roman Sionis, a.k.a. Black Mask. This guy is savage. I wouldn’t agree with cover’s claim that Black Mask is ‘crazier’ than Joker or ‘deadlier’ than Ra’s but but he’s up there. Roman is straight out of American Psycho, I also thought of Oliver Stone’s Wall Street while reading the storyline, so he’s definitely a villain for the ‘80s. astrometric, johnenock, Ken Aldred and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
