WTB: Batman 500 in 9.8 without the tear

[ronm3-migration]

Anyone have a copy of this book without the small tear at the bottom of the spine.

Thanks

Which one are you looking for ? The regular edition or the deluxe ?

I know I have a HG deluxe #500...not sure about the tear, but I will check tonight.

The deluxe edition.

[Frederic9494]

Mine does not qualify...I do have this small tear at the bottom corner of the spine !

In fact, my regular edition has a better spine than the deluxe version...

I will look at mine when I get home this afternoon Ron.

What's the difference between the regular and the deluxe?

 

I have a case of unread Batman #500s.

Deluxe

 

Hope the images work.

Thx. I have a case of the deluxe Batman #500

 

Not worth too much unfortunately... Shipping probably costs more than the book.

I'm at home now with my #500 and I see just what you're talking about, Ron...it's a 9.6/9.8 copy, but there's a tiny bindery tear (about 1/16") at the bottom of the spine. Seeing the book jogs my memory, and I can vaguely remember buying it at an LCS and bypassing lots of other copies with much worse tears. I'll be curious if you can find one without it!

[Darrell F]

I just checked mine too and it has the small tear.

[ronm3-migration]

Thanks for checking. My last hope is sckao.

Mine has it as well...

I think they all do

Sorry man... I just looked at over a hundred Batman #500's and they ALL have it to some degree. I must have gotten a bad batch.. or that die cut foldout was just too thick for the presses.

 

All the bottom corners have a tuft or a small split. Some tops have it too. Some are pretty small but still there.

Can you send me the pic of the one that has the smallest?

I have over 300 copies of the 500 and everyone has it.

[Darrell F]

There is a 9.8 up on eBay right now but I have no idea about the tear.

Those 9.8's all have the tear. Most of the time they dont show the bottom of the book. Post the link and let me see it.

This guy is a person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point. I would like to go pay him a visit just to let him know how much of a person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point he is.

I would but I quit looking around on eBay when your auctions ended. Just search for Batman 500 cgc and there are only a few results.

Sorry.. this one looked decent from the front (you can barely see it), but then turn it around and there's a color breaking crease and the bindery tear, etc. I don't know how that crease got there either.

 

I don't think I have any really nice ones. I also think I need to clean my scanner glass too... sheesh.
