LDarkseid1 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 13 hours ago, Wayne-Tec said: It's been over a full calendar year, this thread needs a serious . On July 12th, a CRM/OW coverless copy of Batman #1 sold for $14,279.32. LINK I remember coverless copies being available for 3K back 10-15 years ago. Times are changing. My friend bought that. He’s pretty happy owning a Batman 1, but definitely a hefty price tag for a coverless copy. He saved a little money paying with a check so paid about $13,800.

Extra fuel for the cap 1/ bat 1 debate I believe it is a GPA record, with standard CR/OW pages to boot. Nice looking copy but nothing out of this world. As time goes on, I suspect Batman #1 will pull further away from Cap #1 and grow closer to Superman #1 than many would expect.

I’ve said this many times on the boards that although I appreciate Supes 1 and Bats 1 for their cover art, historical significance , and in Bats case the introduction of The Joker , I would oersjnsnakky have other books ahead of them in the top 5 dropping them to the Top 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that I am in the minority pertaining to both these books (and I understand how the scarcity of Supes 1 plays into the equation) I personally have never had a desire to own either book is what I was trying to get across not that I doubt what the market commands on either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pursue Batman 1 and Superman 1, others maybe Cap 1 and Marvel Comics 1 for their taste. I totally get it. For me, I'm pretty happy owning any major golden key lol.

I think if a complete coverless Superman #1 with OW or better PQ were to be offered through the right venue, it could be close.

There’s that weird .5 that’s sort of a coverless copy, but isn’t, which is about to sell in the next Comicconnect auction. I’m pretty sure it will sell for around $25K-$30K. Maybe a tad more.
