Need to swap a few books but otherwise done with phase one.

Nice! Glad you have devoted wall space to work with! That's a luxury in itself.

Still beautiful! I still wish I had the presence of mind to get a copy, there were a few available, but I figured in the wild was the way to go and came up short!

I love the sideways sig!

That's a pretty scan and a nice copy.

Merry Christmas, my fellow McFarlane fans! Look what Santa brought me  The one big McFarlane key I was missing. (Yes I've got ASM 298-301 etc..) I think this thread was born out of a discussion I had with Mr Fantastic about the similarities between the cover of this, Batman 423, and McFarlane's Detective Year 2 covers. This copy has travelled across the globe  and now has a loving home down under. I've been wanting it for a long time, but I waited for a solid copy at a reasonable price. If I'm honest with myself it's not a '9.8 candidate'. It's got a few small colour breaking spine ticks but I love it anyway. And the last time one came up for sale over here on eBay it had a freaking detached cover but still sold quickly.

Congrats!  …but I don’t mind detached covers…

@Comixroc considering McFarlane only did the cover of Batman423 I can really see the appeal of getting the cover only. It think this is the second printing based on the bottom left box. I would also love something signed by the Todd-father, even if it was just a napkin, so this is a cool pick up  When it comes to my PC I just try to keep it VF- or better. The fact low grade copies with detached covers quickly sell for $150 AUD even now, says something about the popularity of this cover

I wonder if anyone gets Todd to sign this one?

Congrats on the pick up ! Nice looking copy, and yes, this thread actually started over our original discussion of those Batman McFarlane's.

Since I got Todd to sign all three versions of my Spider-Man #1 at the recent signing.  I thought it would just be cool to go ahead and try to get the entire Spider-man(McFarlane) run. Picked these up this week for less $$ than if I had sent them to the recent signing.

Better than getting their only 7.5 grader.

But, to prove that's not the case and to break the monotony of the 9.6's.  Here is one I won last night.
