Look for Batman Collectors. That is my group.

Hey Batman1fan thanks lots for the kind words. Have you put up pics of your room? I would love to see them too. Also if you are into learning about the various aspects of Batman collecting and are on Facebook I run a closed vintage Batman group that you might get a kick out of being a part of Its membership is small by design but the people in it have a pretty good time there. Its not just show but show and tell. LMK if you have any interest.

Well they came out of this room of which this pic I think (without going back and checking) is a different view of a similar one in the same bunch of pics from last year.

I still don't get how to work this website and I forgot I had put up some of these pics last year until I got an e mail about one of them tonite. So I figured I would update my earliest Detectives pic. Now its 28 to 40.

This is a 1943 Harry Peter Christmas card. There are 3 known to have been made. This is one of the 2 Allie has.

Quick 2 posts here since its been a while for me. One of my better half's covers

My take on Comic Cav is the same as for World's Finest for the first 70 issues which also suffered from the "fun cover" syndrome. They both are the last bastion of solo golden age stories for both Batman and Robin and Wonder Woman (Supes too but we don't collect him) and that is why I finally went after them. For years WF's were dead in the water in terms of desirability for a lot of collectors myself included. A good dealer friend of mine kept pushing me to buy them and I didn't because my focus was the Detective and Batman runs. Finally when I had them pretty much done and after I did the Star Spangled Robin issues I saw the light and went after the WF's. I remember going through the ones Metropolis had. Those books had not been looked at for years and the prices had not been updated either and I got a lot of books at really good prices. I also found out (but also expected) how tough the issue #'s in the 50's and 60's were (which is typical for most 1950's DC's as everyone knows). Then as I was getting near the end dealers started telling me people were asking for the same books I was going for. All of a sudden the Metropolis box got emptied out of all the nice issues in it from people placing orders for them. People had begun to see the collectability of those books and while they are not in the Batman/Detective league yet they are no longer the doormats they once were. This is what happened with Allie. Once she had the 2 main runs CC's were the last frontier to collect golden age stories she did not have. For Comic Cav I can see the potential for the same scenario if the movie brings in more people and they go after the Sensations and WW's and people want to read and collect stories that don't get reprinted in the same way her 2 main books do. To be clear I am saying this could happen and it may not. But collecting tastes change and it is hard to predict what people will buy in the future and I think there is a chance this could happen.

I think it totally was revealed at the end and by Aries himself but I don't want to get any more specific without giving away stuff for someone who has not seen it yet.

Well it should be the book for WW people but most of the WW collectors we know have traditionally focused on WW 1. I think that is because a lot of them are not really comic book people like the pros here are but rather are more WW collectors meaning all the other non comic but related WW stuff. I know Allie nailed the 8 first then got the Sensation 1 and bought the WW 1 last.

I had a few minutes before I have to head out so I thought I would put up a few more pics of our display (well this is from my part). These are old ones actually and the space has been redone but I don't have pics yet however it gives you an idea

One post for today and this one comes from my better half. Again the comics are boxed and locked away but u get the idea

Thank you Red for the kind words

Two for today. The comics do not get displayed as I said above but this gives you an idea.

I just realized this is actually the pic I should have posted up there that only has the batcave sign

Everything in our display is original. The tin one that is out there is a repro
