DETECTIVE COMICS #409

Neal Adams cvr, Batgirl back-up story

bought this from a reputable dealer as a VF/NM, there's some color chipping to the bottom of the fc, I don't see any spine stresses, would be a really sharp book...but there's remainder ink wash all along the top of the book that splashes on to the back cover and spine edge.  Whether that still qualifies as VF/NM I don't know.  Like the Aquaman #38 this is a book I probably should have sent back but dilly-dallied too long about it.  At my price I'm taking a pretty good bath.

I'm going to have to call it a night.  I apologize for not getting the Copper/Modern thread started, but at this point in the box I've only got about a dozen books for that thread.  I'll probably have to start that one up next weekend.

Right now, I'm about halfway through this short box.  I have another whole short box plus some to get through.  They only way I'll be able to get through it all is to pick at during the week.

Because of the current COVID situation, I've been moved to a different department and job.  I happy to still be employed but now have different and slightly longer hours and now have to drive home in rush hour traffic.  This means I have a lot less free time than at my regular job.  I may only be able to get a few books up at a time each day.

I know some have strong opinions about excessive thread bumping and hogging 'valuable' space on the first page.  That's not what I'm doing.  However, if you take exception to my small additions each day, please contact me about it rather than just hump the button and undue the work I've put into this.  Please and thank you.

Thanks to all who've looked at the thread so far and for those who have claimed books.  We'll be getting into the House of Mystery books next.
