The 4.0 Bat 1 on eBay looks really nice to me and is asking $155K. Was $145K until the Bat 1 1.5 on Heritage sold last week for $78K. Bat 1 My Comic Shop I sent a question about the book to the eBay seller and although he responded, he didn’t answer my question. I asked again and never got a second response (I wanted to know if the staples were rusty) Edited May 5, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experiences, he has the books he's selling on eBay. If you want to contact him, he's responsive to texts and you can PM me for his number. That copy might be faded so you might want to ask for additional pictures - he's usually responsive and provides additional pictures if he thinks you're a legit buyer. I have not completed any deals with him so cant speak beyond the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn’t make the cut, in his eyes. He actually did send addl pictures but didn’t deny the issue of rust, which was the question. So I guess when I asked again(the new pics did not answer my question), I got relegated to the scrap heap. Whatever the reason, it soured my enthusiasm on his book. And watching what happened to the Mycomicshop’s 4.0 all but killed it. But thanks. I think I’ll take a seat for awhile and see what happens to the GA market Edited May 5, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the market is finally realizing these are manipulated books, especially when it is so obvious to the naked eye. Just treat that hammer like a restored price and it makes sense.

Choice of venue = bad decision Choice of no reserve format = bad decision Choice to sell during Corona-dip = bad decision. thedude and aardvark88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne-Tec Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Auctions are always vulnerable to ups, downs and unpredictable bidders. The 1.5 was OW-W vs. the 4.0 OW. Not that the PQ justifies the gap in pricing here. I don't think the 1.5 was an amazing looking 1.5, but there are a number of 4.0's in my archive that present better than this one did.
