Point Five Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Very pleased to present my newest ticket to this club. A few hits of amateur resto and a Slightly Brittle page notation kept the price way reasonable in the last ComicConnect auction (the book was slabbed CGC 1.8 slight-A). The pages are actually nice and supple, with just a few small chips at some of the corner areas. Perfect reader copy... Tristan Esteph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 And maybe this is common knowledge, but it's new to me and I thought it was interesting. It looks like this book's splash page art was later 'borrowed' for Batman 1, which came out in 1940. Tristan Esteph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pick up, but to call her a readers copy?? this book transcends such nominal terminology. Be proud of her! and consider yourself lucky I was tapped out of cash at the time, as I was bidding against you... : ) Tristan Esteph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be proud of her! and consider yourself lucky I was tapped out of cash at the time, as I was bidding against you... : ) Fair point! By reading copy I meant "a copy I will enjoy reading", not that the book is a total dog or anything...heck, my screen name should give you a good sense of how exacting my grade standards are. As you say, I am quite proud of it, so it's found a good home. Sorry though that you missed out... If it's any consolation, #34 seems to be the most common of the pre-Robins and usually the cheapest as well, so hopefully there's another one out there with your name on it.

It looks like this book's splash page art was later 'borrowed' for Batman 1, which came out in 1940. Very interesting and cool to note. They filled in a bit more of the cape but it sure is the same image and used the same way. Nice catch and cool pick up. James G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoarder Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Did anyone else notice that there are three (!) copies of Tec #36 in the comic connect and comiclink auction coming up? And all similar grades...with a varying amount of tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all I need is 31-37 ;-) James G Congratulations are in order James. A copy of Detective Comics #27, in any condition, much less one that presents as nicely as yours is something to be commended. Your run looks absolutely fantastic. Kudos to you sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
