Dark Knight Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Ahh nice choices. Cover wise, im leaning towards #41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat-Man Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 #41 is a nice angry batman cover. Here is a pic of my low grade 45. And as a fun fact about my collection - this particular Detective 45 is my lowest graded book I own (besides coverless books). It is a CGC 1.0 Restored w/ Brittle Pages. Can a grade get much worse? Nope. But I have had this guy for a long time and have grown fond of him. And the brittle pages have not had any pieces flying around in the case. Enough rambling, here it is...

Bat-Hound Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I remember at least 15 yrs ago or so I bought this "raw" from a dealer who graded this copy as a VG+,,,I thought the grade was a bit undergraded even though it has a name penciled on the top front cover... After submitting it to CGC, they graded it as: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After submitting it to CGC, they graded it as: Great copy you got there! And oh man, I bet you got it for a deal when you got it. The grader must have been a rookie - or an old man on some drug. That is a 7.0 and it looks like a 7.0! Nice page quality on that one as well! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lucked out on this one I would say - amazing deal!! Your sure did! Nice! And sure there is a name on it which might annoy some people but its on the top neatly positioned - not on the main part of the cover which would be a annoying. Not bad, not bad at all. As for me with my laughable 45. I think I need to seriously upgrade it in the near future. It won't be a 7.0 , but hopefully a 4.0 or 4.5 . But I do want to keep my current 45 - even if I upgrade fore I like having an example of the lowest possible grade for a book without it being incomplete!

Mac Man Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Oh no you don't! Stick to Tec 50 and up! What am I talking about? This would need to be a 0.7 to be within MY arm's reach! And that had to be a jaw-dropping day when you found out Bat-Hound. MONSTER difference between a 4.5 copy of this issue and a 7.0!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
