Below is a little excerpt from a book about different TV tropes. When you search for it, there are tons of stories and such. There are also many stories where Bruce Lee during the shooting acted like he was really going to use his skills to kick Ward's behind since Ward had been bragging about how good he himself was at martial arts. Lee didn't speak at all before the shooting and stayed very stoic and evidently really scared Ward into thinking he was going to be Robin, the Bloodied Blunder. All of this is up to debate but I don't think there is any doubt Bruce Lee would have sent Ward home with a "who's your daddy now, pretty boy?" look. As for Robin, I totally understand the reasoning for adding him with Bats but for me a dark, solitary Bats in the best. Although the 50s Bats with the sci-fi and more oddballish stories with both Bats Robin are some of my favorites. By the way, did anyone know that Bruce Lee was considered for the role that David Carradine got in the "Kung Fu"Tv show. That would have been pretty interesting with him in that role. Robin is still a dweeb though Could it/would it have ended any other way besides a draw? No...if one or the other had won, fans of the loser would have been disappointed to the extent that viewership would likely have declined. No one wants to be seen as supporting a loser. Similar to the Superman/Flash races...it's the ever popular draw Edited March 21, 2018 by pemart1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this, the detached cover isn't too overwhelmingly noticeable and you get the whole visual of the FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one on CC didnt even hit 10k so i think more in the 10-15k range. That being said the buy in for any complete copy does seem to be around the 40-50k range regardless of condition or restoration. James G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I've also taken into consideration that i think it is tougher to find a complete coverless copy than a complete copy and that it is the entry level for collectors so bidding will always be more since complete copies are out of reach for most. In today's market, ANYTHING can happen. And I agree with jgallo that a complete copy with supple pages is in that price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDarkseid1 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah I mean honestly it’s difficult to find a coverless complete copy of just about any mega grail. With that being said, my Superman 1 is at the top of coverless comics behind Action 1 and Tec 27, and even this only goes for around $14K-$15K. Cap 1 doesn’t compare to Superman 1 in any grade so it’s going to be closer to $10K likely. Anyway, not trying to diminish the book, I’d be happy with a Cap 1 in any condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightsofold Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 If supply is low and 2+ people need a blue label coverless to complete/upgrade their caps it could go high in auction. If no one cares, low. 8k-15k imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
