In Praise of Single Pages

Yep. Me 2 days ago: "If goes for under 5 I may bid". Me 2 hours ago: "Oh come on!"

9 feedback winner beat out a 506 feedback by 100 dollars. Hope all goes well for the seller. This Bat 1 page confuses me. I believe it is the best looking Joker splash we've yet to see, and by a good margin. Look at the condition. If the rest of the book looked anywhere near as niceas this page then I have no idea what the benefit of paging it out would be, even if it was coverless.Then again

Page 1 was as high quality as page 2, which causes me to ask the same question. Maybe there were multiple pages out, or some other catastrophic failure elsewhere. What with the prices of Bat 1, the economics would otherwise seem to discourage  such tomfoolery

Not single pages but single cut-out stories.  :luhv:  And none are for sale (so, please, no PMs).  :sumo:

Interesting. There is a commonality across the board that makes it seem the same kid did them all. A labor of love, for sure

Jesus Christ, I sold my CGC .5 several years ago and it went for less than that 🤦‍♂️. Literally was just missing the back cover and 2/3rd’s of 2 interior pages, and less than this one page. I want to cry haha.

I just talked to Blissard about this one. Despite the low feedback history of the buyer, he paid right away and the sale was completed

Oh that is sooo cool. They aren't all from Cap 1 right? What other issues are they from if any?

Hey! I didn't think of that, maybe those high grade splash pages came from a very incomplete book. They were in very very nice condition. I doubt we'll see as nice of Bat 1 pages anytime soon.

Single pages are usually only found on eBay, but the auction houses are starting to step up more and more. I got a nice Action 1 page from CC a couple years ago, and I just now picked up a nice Cap 1 page from Heritage. I collect the actual books too, but I also like the individual pages

That Captain American page 22 is one of my favourites and I've always wanted to own it...it just has everything; Fighting, shlock, crazy panel experimentation, comedy, death!

For all of these single pages Golden Age comics had to die. :facepalm:   :cry:

very original  :facepalm:   
 

I’d like to know what genius thinks he can get more for a book by parting the pages out.  It would only make financial sense when a book has suffered such a catastrophic failure elsewhere that who really cares anymore

Yes it's a good'un.  I had never noticed it before, but you are right.  I'm also taken by the fact that Kirby, at the top of the back page,  plays around by knocking Red Skull from one panel to the next.
