Batman #1 Club

There is also increased competition for "entry level"  copies of major keys. Some collectors pay a premium just to add one to their collection, irrespective of price per point given the steep cost of an upgrade. A 1.0 jumps up to $46k and the last 0.5 incomplete went for $22.8k, missing the back cover. This sale is reasonable in line with that, and suggests the left tail of the distribution is just as hot as the middle.

Time for a thread bump.

Tec 168 prices have been soaring. If Jokers origin is doing this, shouldn’t there be a similar uptick of interest for Jokers first appearance? 
 

or has it happened already and I just missed it?

sure, but the price point for a Bat 1 has most people out of that game so the next best thing that are miles cheaper are Joker covers and the Tec 168 Origin...

Although that won't stop collectors from trying, even if that means restored. The 'cool' factor lies in Batman 1.

They are?  I haven't noticed this to be the case and the 5.0 selling on ComicLink last night didn't support this either.

Your experiences are different from mine.  A year ago, I passed on a 8.0 for not that much more than Clink's 5.0.

Prices were there a year ago (at least) - very sorry that you passed on an 8.0 for that because even then that was an absolute steal!
