Bonds25 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 143 and ft, NICE Archie books - I was also considering buying both of them. Great pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Another cursive P, D, or L in pencil, these have to come from a similar collection or its a distribution notation of some sort. Nice book by the way is it just me or does ol Supes look a little TOO happy to run into that cute little lost boy hitching a ride home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLRoberts5 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Great book. That's a nice-looking 4.5. It's also a tough era to find decent copies of. Congrats on wonderful book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Thanks! I got to try and keep up with all the Detectives you have been snagging lately! I haven't gotten one in awhile, though I do have a ratty #187 on the way from eBay(hard to find that book at all,much less in decent shape!).

SteveLRoberts5 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I have pretty decent Detective 190 which contains the origin of Batman. I bought it over ten years ago and though it's only a 6.0, I've yet to see a nicer copy. Again, I really like your 187; that's a great Joker cover!

nearmint Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Many moons ago, there was a back issue dealer called Sparkle City. Over the course of several years, they helped one of their customers complete his Detective run. The absolute hardest issue for them to find, and the last to complete his collection, was #187. A very cool Two-Face cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNYHUMAN Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Here's another Centaur, I posted awhile back that deserves to be seen again for you guys that never saw it.1940 Classic cover by Paul Gustavson!!!The best cover in many people's opinion of the run. I myself like Vol. 4 # 1 a liitle bit better , but this is a great one none the less!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNYHUMAN Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Jeff, speaking about Sparkle City, I remember them, does anybody know if Jay Maybruck still deals in collectibles ?? I've dealt with Joe V. in the past , great guy, reputable, but what's Jay doing nowadays??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the course of several years, they helped one of their customers complete his Detective run. The absolute hardest issue for them to find, and the last to complete his collection, was #187. A very cool Two-Face cover! I really do think that #187 is one of the scarcest books in the run. If any dealer could have found it in the old days, it was Sparkle City. Those guys had almost every rare and esoteric book imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
