Need help with Batman #1

[tabcom]

I am planning to examine a non-cgc Batman #1 in the coming days. The owner states that the spine has been minimally strengthened. I'm expecting digital photos to be emailed to me this weekend. I will post them when I get'm.

 

Here is my problem. My gpanalysis.com/ account is locked on 'trial customer' status. I tried upgrading. I tried contacting gpanalysis. No-Go. Could someone please post the current gpanalysis report for Batman #1?

Congratulations, you're the current high bidder:

I just placed the first bid on the Batman #1 at Heritage . . .

Do you think someone will snipe me? Maybe I should bump up my $500 bid.

I'm assuming, the book you mentioned in your first post is a different book than the heritage book. Your posts are only 8 minutes apart. Are you trying to corner the market?

Very Very nice book!!!

 

If you wind up with that copy (I assume thats the one you said you were going to go look at?) and ever decide to sell it, please let me know. I would be very interested!

Is the picture warped or are all 3 edges of the comic trimmed? At least, the Bat #1 is affordable now.

Were you the one who offered the $14k offer for this book on ebay and won it?

It does looked trimmed.

Optical illusion -- I hope.

I'm planning to do an eye-ball inspection in the coming days.

Look at those edges very carefully when you do. There should be a pronounced registration on that right side.

After looking at this link, it appears that the trimming shears have been pulled out of the tool bag.

I just pointed out your observation to my wife . .. . she laughed hard . . . and then said, listen to Spock.

I asked the seller if the book was trimmed because I thought so too and he said it wasn't. I'm gonna trust my instincts on this one.

Assuming it is trimmed, and the spine is reinforced, what would a fair offer be for it?

Make sure you check it for a replaced chip and color touch in the top left corner and possibly some color touch along the top edge also judging by the scan.

I would say $2k-$3k

Based on this pic, it looks like the book has had moderate to extensive resto.

 

Color touch, pieces added, cleaned/pressed (probably), right edge trimmed.

 

Signature is cool.
