Is the batman collection you have recently posted, the one you are putting together for a client?

 

Mike

hello all...

yes, they are...he is a good friend, best customer (our arrangements, due to his intial limited funds, are that I purchase, and he gets at my cost +5% "commission" for the effort and the financing...so basically, he is getting at my real world cost)...however, payments have been a little slow, so worse case scenario is that I "inherit" the collection (which I would be pleased to do, now that I have asssembled, but I already completed a batman run in the 90's, so I don't have a great desire to keep...part of the joy for me, is the collecting, but I like new challenges, which is why I won't go after Action, but would superman)...personally, I am working on the Tec's 27-53, and about 20 other issues I like (have not started them yet, except for 2 I am getting from board member cgcmint)...

so, if for some reason Bob has to bail (which, for the record, I don't anticipate), I will either keep the run, or sell it (a tough decision no doubt)

I Thought that was the case, but I got the impression, that some board members were not aware of this. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't lost my mind. insane.gif

 

BTW what a great run. hail.gif

It looks great seeing all of those copies together! 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

How many more are there that you are shooting for -- or are these the only pre-code 2 Face covers?

 

There is one more GA Two-Face cover (Detective #68). He wasn't on the cover of his first appearance in Detective #66.

An update and different format for my Airboy group shot and of course, after putting the books away, I realized I forgot to put the March 1952 issue in the shot foreheadslap.gif Still, here they are ... -

I caught the missing issue immediately without even reading your comment. makepoint.gif

 

Anyway, that looks very cool! Been about a year for you to put that together?

Actually 2 years. Bought the first ones in Nov. '04. Considering this is a side project, I'm happy with the progress.

 

48 issues ain't nothing to sneeze at! thumbsup2.gif

I really like the Heap and Science Fiction covers towards the end of the run--I'm glad you put them in front so we can see them thumbsup2.gif

Waiting for the right copy of Tec #68. makepoint.gif

 

My favorite Two-Face issue is probably Tec #66. Of the ones I own, Detective #80 where he becomes Harvey Kent again. The only plastic surgeon who can perform the surgery was in a concentration camp in Germany in #66 and escaped by issue #80. It's the only mention of Nazi Germany I've seen in Detective Comics.

Why don't you spread the books out in the shape of an airplane & take a new picture??? You've got enough Airboy's to do. poke2.gif
