So what grail are you saving up for?

What would you grade your copy, Jon? It has KILLER colors! How are the pages? I am in awe of that book!

 

for what it is worth, here is mine.....

 

There was a quarter inch or so of tape on lower spine....i made the command decision years ago to have the tape removed - so not to be 'destructive' to the book----so just a bit of repair there.....damn if you do .....damn if you don't......jb

Mine is better. Just kidding. I think, I might be able to pick up a Captain Marvel Adventures #5, in the next year. So, I will show you a scan when I get it.

VF/VF+ okay pages and bright cover....I bought this years ago (1983...gulp!!)...Camelot could not move it so they knocked their asking price down 25% to $900. jon

You paid $900 for that book? Holy cow. That's a nice ROI.

Having seen it in person, nude I can attest that It's a sweet looking copy. The color and gloss are superb.

Jon;

 

Absolutely stunning colours on your copy.

 

I guess it must be nicer than the Church copy which I heard is probably somewhere in the F+ to VF-. Any idea where the Windy City copy would fit in here since I heard this is probably one of the nicest copies of 'Tec #1 out there?

The Church copy of Detective #1 is VG+/FN- according to Chuck.

Jon,

 

Great Detective 1!

 

I think you made a good decision to have the tape removed. I did something similar to one of my keys and even though mine would grade out as restored, I have no regrets since who knows what the tape would have done over time.

Amazing! What a great book. One day, I'll own a copy.

[*paull*]

$900?? Wow... even back then that sounds like a deal.

 

In what condition is the Lost Valley Detective Comics #1? They were all really nice copies, from what I can remember.
