kryptonitecomics Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I had the good fortune of pulling up to the house today at the same time as the USPS truck.First book out of the box was this. I was thinking/hoping for a 6.0 when I submitted it,since the highest on the census is a 5.5 Sweet sweet book Hey Gator....wasn't their a Catman 20 at Megacon this year? Where you selling it or did Dale Roberts have it? I think it was a 4.0 though but still sweet and I thought about grabbing it It was a 4.0. Sold almost immediately when I got home to a board member and had another rather well known buyer standing in line for it... there you go (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just arrived from Dale Roberts out in Kentucky. His grade: 6.0-6-5. However, there is a 1-inch size tape in the upper right --visible only from the inside front cover and tape in the upper left corner; slightly visible though I didn't spot it from his scan. I know this isn't a grader's forum, but perhaps golden age and Batman collectors could help me arrive at the grade. Thanks--PS--I like the book.

Paratrooper Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ah, so that's the issue where we stole the Robin shocked image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 My newest aquisition. I love the patriotic war covers. Colors are much deeper on the actual book. Ken Stunning book! I had the good fortune to see several early Church Nationals raw once upon a time I was at Bedrock's place when he had just purchased a small batch of them.They were equally stunning and I'll never forget it to be sure.

october Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just got this bad boy in the mail today. It has taken me years to find a nice copy in my price range, and I could not be happier with it! Definitely one of the tougher issues from the Cole Blue Bolt run. Big props to Adamstrange for... 1) pointing out the auction to me and, after I had purchased it, 2) pointing out that it's an unlabeled Bethlehem! (worship) It's nice having friends in the hobby who know more than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatEscape Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 it is a rare book none the less...maybe the current owner will chime in and give us some details, as I might be totally remembering it wrong Sorry guys, I've been in Vegas all week Anyway, I bought Dale's Catman #20 and grateful to him for working out a deal with me. Seeing the book in a fresh mylar, I was quite pleased. The issues were in reference to muted cover colors (appears brighter in scan) and a slight spine roll (more visible in profile than in a 2-D scan). Similar wear around staple as seen on Russ' copy. Can't hold a candle to Russ' outstanding 6.0 but it's a decent VG-ish copy of a tough book I'll be proud to own. Sent it to CGC last week...

seank Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Two more: I'm now down to 12 more for the 68-130 Sky Girl run. These two were liberated saved from the detrimental humidity of Houston for the comic-friendly climate of Sacramento. Thanks Richard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey&comicsguy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Well I haven't posted a new book in awhile so I am taking the time to post somebody else's book. Yes, I have been wanting a copy of this book forever. Yes, I got sniped with 3 seconds left. Yes, I feel like cross checking somebody in the teeth. Oh well, at least the Red Wings won tonight. should have bid more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
