Yannis Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 OK, humor me. What would a 1.0 #33 sell for these days? Any idea? $4500-$5000 on the low end IMO... Stop bumping price up Ben..... sorry, didn't know you were in the market. if the price is right (and affordable) I go after any early Tec.

It is possible for the 29 to go ahead (even by a hair) of the 31 but in the long run most will desire the 31 more because of the huge Bat cover. But like I said before , I personally prefer the 29 because of the all out action going on. The 35 will not become the 4th , It already "IS" the 4th most desired.

A very small weak looking Batman, and the way the villain is holding the gun seems uneven. Thats just me though. Of course though, Id take a copy any given day. But, I wish 29 was the first Bat issue. Much much better cover. Not even in the same class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
