Detective 31: I like the cover better and it is 5th Batman vs. 9th Batman appearance (or something like that)

Both of these beauties sold for $28,500 last year. Which one would you choose, and why? graders notes on MM2 (small amount of glue on spine)

glue or not, I'd go with the MM2 due to extreme scarcity and historical signifigance

Since I used to have the Church Adventure 44 and 47 and can't see myself spending anywhere near that for a non-Sandman cover I guess I'd go with the MM2 - but I'd much rather spend that kind of money on something else.

Considering that copy of MM #2 is a resub and sold for $13,800 back in 2002 as a CGC 7.5, out of principle I'll take the Adventure.

 

I remember looking at the heritage scan when it was a 7.5, and thought the grading was pretty tight. I don't think its a 9.0, but its a lot nicer then most 7.5s GA books out there.

I agree. Probably was just undergraded initially. It is, no question, a gorgeous looking book. But I have a real hard time paying $28K for the same exact book that sold for less than half of that just four years ago. And the only difference between then and now is a label, right or wrong. Just doesn't register in my head. confused-smiley-013.gif

Both of these comics sold for $14,600 back in 2003/2003. This choice mixes thing up a little bit from the norm, comparing a high grade SA key to a low grade GA key. Which one would you choose, and why?

for me, a previous SA collector, nothing trumps a high grade unrestored FF1...but this is a GA forum....let's see who agrees with me 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
