KCOComics Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) That is a nice looking 1.5 If your going to go low grade, I prefer one with a cover like that. Complete, with no hunks missing or staining. I can live with the tape personally. Edited October 3, 2020 by KCOComics LDarkseid1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-Tec Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 That really was a great looking 1.5. I suspect that $79,000+ will become $100,000+ sometime within the next 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 ^ agreed with above. Also, not sure if this same copy sold previously, but there was a 1.5 that sold at CC a couple years ago with the same label notes for $92,800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Bat 1 CGC 2.5 Heritage auction on Sept 10 2020 sold for $102K and then resold by the make offer to owner for $132K on Sept 16. Now is available again with make an offer for $172K. Is it that easy to buy mega keys and resell without ever having Heritage send anyone the comic??? Unless the buyer proactively opts out of the HA Make Offfer to Owner feature which they have, I believe that there is an automatic 30% markup which gets tacked onto a book. If somebody makes that offer, HA then sends that to the buyer and it's their decision as to whether they accept the offer or not. It should be pointed out that the new $172,380 make an offer is exactly 30% above the second sale price of $132,600. the $172K money, that is.

Drgoldage Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 True conserved would be better for resale and I’ve considered that but reluctant . My initial conversation with Cgc was that they would never change a restored Label to conserved if the book had been cleaned chemically ( the only thing done to this book ,in a ill advised attempt to remove a slight sun shadow on right edge ). My second reservation was the only book I’ve sent in was my undercopy Green lantern golden-age 1 a nice flat copy that when it was holdered they fanned the back cover and pages so now it sits with a induced spine roll. I realize this doesn’t happen often but I am afraid they will damage the Batman . I am also have no desire to sell so why spend the money .

How can a GA Green lantern 1 become damaged while in cgc’s possesion? That is highly disturbing news. Thnx for letting it out here.

Drgoldage Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 To be clear Cgc makes it a priority to care for the books it grades , no one is perfect and comics are fragile and easily damaged with even careful handling . I have hundreds of golden age comics at home that CGC encapsulated perfectly before I bought , It’s just my bad luck the Green Lantern turned out the way it did and could be reversed if I sent back in . If the time comes that I want to sell the Batman 1 (I don’t ) and I could get a conserved grade (I can’t) on the Batman 1 Denver copy then I would send back to CGC. I was trying to mention all the factors That came to mind when I initially thought about trying for a conserved grade several years ago, the GL was the least of those concerns.

It’s otherwise untouched for me I don’t care if it’s in a purple or conserved case , it’s a great looking copy great color and sharp edges as good as I will find . I believe the entire collecting world wishes you had acted then. "collector/investor" is one of the nicer terms I've heard applied to Wilson's destructive actions from this time period. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who think this copy presents nicer than the erased/upgraded copy that currently sits atop the census. Congrats on such a beautiful book.
