I posted this in the SA forum and was asked to post it in the GA forum, too. The book falls in between both forums, really.

 

This copy of Detective Comics #184 is, so far, the only CGC 9.8 graded issue of the title for the whole of the 1950s.

 

The scan doesn't really convey its sheer brilliance and freshness, and the small white spots in the top left - a tiny lack of ink during production - look far less prominent in reality.

Not bad. Got anything else? Just kidding. That book is smoking! The rainbow colors on that book look so nice and bright. Spokanes are just amazing books. I have the Strange Adventures 9 from that collection and it has a jet black cover and bone white pages.

Well, since this thread hasn't had any recent postings, might as well show off my newest pre-robin Tec book that I got today :cloud9: Been wanting an unrestored copy for a while now and I finally bought one.. Big kudos to 1koko for selling me this book :golfclap: All I need now is to upgrade my Tec 37 and 31. So, if any of you have any one of those copies in 4.0ish blue, let me know :wishluck:

All I need now is a Tec 27 (definitely out of my budget) to complete the pre-robin tec set. Might take me years for me to afford a copy

Very nice TEC 40.....since I only have a few TEC's, I decided to purchase a nice two face appearance. In the end of the story, he saves batman, gets his sentence reduced to a year, has plastic surgury, looks normal, gets the girl and leaves a happy man.....what the heck happened next to make him a bad boy again?

Thanks guys for the comments. Definitely a toughy in unrestored condition and exactly at the grade that I want (As you know, i'm trying to get all CGC 4.0 pre-robin Tecs). Hopefully, I can have another upgrade soon

In BATMAN #81, an explosion ruins the plastic surgery, and Harvey turns back to his evil ways.
