    I like the cover but was always a bit indifferent to owning a Batman #1. It never seemed like a hard book to find as golden age goes. Tec #27 was waaay harder to find decent and Supes #1 too. Again we are talking “as golden age goes” which often exists on a different world when comparing to silver age books. I hate using CGC as any type of marker with existing copies but last time I checked there were still under 50 copies for Tec #27, Batman #1 was around 150 and Spider-Man #1 was in the thousands. There’s probably more existing Spider-Man #1’s in 9.0+ than all the Tec #27’s on census. I have no idea how many SA keys like that I’ve owned over the years but most GA keys I have an exact or close range to those I’ve held. Both characters are super popular so rarity establishes a lot of the market between those 2 books. Quest any GA key vs SA key and see how long it takes to find copies.

    Bedrock is very transparent too…:devil:

    I’ll give you 20 cents which is twice what it cost new. That copy looks pretty used to me. I’ll toss in another dime for that piece of hard plastic you’ve got it wrapped in. 

    The N e r V of this guy.:peace:

    I have never experienced the unbridled delirium of willfully choosing a Spider-Man #1 over a Batman #1. That must have been quite an experience.

    In my defence, the asking was $195k when GPA had 2 sales @ $110k - $120k down from $140k - $150k a year earlier. ASM 1 sales seemed to be more stable in comparison. I tend to invest in Marvel over DC, but should have grabbed that book the moment I saw it.

    No worries. I not offended. I was just making a point about the selective use of GPA to justify a position. It is a pretty common practice around here.

    Something we’ve all likely experienced. I had a chance to get a 4.0 from Bob Storms & went for the ASM 1 instead. Definitely regretted that decision. Still incredible to think that this was a $12k book 20 years ago.

    Also, when I ask for quality thread-crapping the emphasis is on "QUALITY" - not selective screen grabs.

    A 2.5 sold recently for $215,000

    Further up on your GPA screen a 6.0 sold for $552,000

    I would think a 4.0 with nice paper and eye appeal should sit somewhere around $400,000.

    First time thread-crapper here, still in the development stage.
    HA sold a beautiful 4.0 for $117k May 5th 2020, but I see a 2.5 @ $270k March 16th 2022 also.
    Prices aren’t exactly steady these days. I was asking $250k for my ASM 1 CGC 9.2 & have dropped to $200k.

    I didn’t realize you would take it so seriously when you have others suggesting 400 boardies @ $10k, then respond offering a private dance thrown in.:sorry:

    I also thought it might be a practical arrangement that might even be worth considering, but I apologize if you took offence to it.
