elibowman Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Batman #246, 1972. Adams cover. This one looks pretty solid from the front. A little bit of spine wear, minor surface wear, and a corner chip. However, on the back we have a pretty strong corner crease, and an edge tear at the top of at least 1". 6.0 from the front, but that tear drops it. Let's go 4.5. $12 **NOW $10** Edited June 15, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Batman #247, 1973. Solid book with some minor wear. Sub crease (or reading crease?) on the back that only presents as a bend to the front, spine and edge wear. 5.0. $8 **NOW $6** Edited June 15, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Batman #248, 1973. Another book in the same range. 5.0 due to the sub crease on back (bend front) and other assorted general wear. $8 **NOW $6** Edited June 15, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Batman #249, 1973, This one has no sub-crease and a better spine, but a pretty significant wrinkle mid-cover (mostly to Batman's right) that covers several inches holds this one back to the same area. 5.5 on this one. $8 **NOW $6** Edited June 15, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Batman #250, 1973. Much better copy than the previous books. Some spine wear to note, but not a lot else. A bit of edge wear. 6.5ish. $18 **NOW $14** Edited June 15, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 I only have my (GORGEOUS) keeper copy of #251, so there isn't one in this sale. I am going to have to pause for now, but more Batman from #252 up through the Giant Size issues coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Price cuts on the Bat books already listed. I am going to try and get a few more posted over the next hour or so. PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Batman #252, 1973. Solid, mid-grade book. General wear dropping it into the 5.5 range. $8 **NOW $6** Edited June 16, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Batman #253, 1973. Very sharp book with great color and gloss. Small amount of spine and edge wear. A non-color breaking indention near the comics code logo. I think it's an 8.0 due to the indention, otherwise higher. $35 **NOW $28** Edited June 16, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 For the record on that pic for #253, it looks like there is a bottom corner bend/crease on the front. There is no crease there. Not sure why it looks like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Batman #254, 1974. Nice copy of the squarebound book. Corner crease bottom right front, you can see where the staples have impressed on the covers over time, the spine doesn't have a ton of wear from reading, but has some of the typical look of a squarebound (they rarely look close to what i think they were intended to look like). There is a (mostly) horizontal production crease across the back cover. I think it's at least 6.5, and probably better. $20 **NOW $17** Edited June 16, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Batman #255, 1974. Again, this is a nice book, with minimal general wear. The issues are with the stupid squarebound spine, including a tiny split (maybe 0.25") at the bottom. Not as nice as the 254...let's go 5.0/5.5. $20 **NOW $17** Edited June 16, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Batman #256, 1974. This one is rougher. Plenty of spine wear including a couple small chips. Light creasing, color wear, back is nicer on this one but there is a small edge tear on the back bottom. 3.5 is my grade. $9 **NOW $7** Edited June 16, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Batman #257, 1974. This is a sharp book, but it's held back by a chip at the bottom back spine. I think it probably can't be better than 5.0 with this...maybe 4.5. The rest is nicer than the technical grade. $11 **NOW $9** Edited June 16, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Batman #262, 1975. This one has quite a bit of creasing to the front. Let's call it 4.0. $6 Edited June 15, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 I don't have a ton of time (taking my kids to Monster Jam tonight!), but I want to get started on a run of Silver FF books. I have most of the run from 25 - 100, and have decided to part with most. I am keeping a stack of the best books (25-28, 48-50, others), but there will still be a ton of FF listed. After I get these all up (probably not before Wednesday of this week), I will evaluate where I am on this stack of books. At any time a buyer is welcome to request an invoice, and tab out. Also, happy to hear offers (especially on multiple books). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Fantastic Four #22, 1964. This one is kind of a mess, but still oddly solid for a low grade book. Creasing, staining, edge wear, minor tears, spine roll just to get us started. No cover pieces missing to speak of, however, a strip on the right edge of the splash page is gone (affects art). Cover and CF attached. 1.8 to me. $50 **SOLD via PM to @HighRadArt** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited June 28, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elibowman Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Fantastic Four #29, 1964. This one is also low grade, but complete/attached. Tape on the interior of the cover trying to (I think) seal a small spine split at the top of maybe 0.25". Also tape on interior back cover near the staple that I cannot figure out what it is/was doing. Spine wear, edge wear, well loved copy. 1st Watcher cover (for whatever that is worth). I have it at 2.0. $40 **SOLD via PM to @HighRadArt** Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Edited June 28, 2022 by elibowman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
