Bat 1 Larson Copy CC 8.0 How Much?

[G.A.tor]

My predictions

 

Bat 1 8.0 $472K

Bat 1 6.5 $167K

Bat 1 2.0 $53K

 

 

Given the last 5.5 sold for 239, One might consider 250k for the 6.5

 

rusty, crusty staples on the 6.5

haven't looked at it honestly. Maybe 200

I have absolutely no idea, but the spine is very heavily stained.

I believe you guys are focusing way too much on the tiny details when the graded label is really the only thing that should matter at all.

 

Hence, a word of warning here......if you continue in this fashion, CGC will simply have to keep expanding the size of their big fat ugly label until it eventually covers up the whole entire front cover of the comic book.

+1

I'd still take it. Heck, I'd take a Batman 1 that spent fifty years in toxic waste at this point.

That would only cost about $125k

rusty staples is deal breaker....it also degrades the book over time.....CGC should allow for staple replacement.

+1 at least give it a Conserved grade and not Restored.

The economy is humming, folks...

 

Though I'm a Marvel guy, all respect to DC in GA.

This slab will exceed all previous cost per point multiples by a wide margin and surprise allot of folks. Should break $510K

 

Just wanted to reiterate I am even more bullish on this slab now than I was before. With the stock market at all time historical highs, folks in this zip code of wealth made tons of money this past year.

 

Could be years or who knows when that another VF Bat 1 like this slabbed shows up. I don't think prospects on this with means are going to hold back on this one.

Look @ it from this perspective. Pretend staining is not there and where does this slab land then? I would say its for sure a strong FN/VF. So potentially someone might overlook that if they want to get one of these in this lifetime.

Just checked from the CGC link below and it indicates that the cleaning or replacement of staples is indeed considered to be Conservation, as opposed to Restoration:

I believe cleaning is 100% irreversible process. So the comic would reside with that label for eternity. Is the blue/grey label something that is very prevalent in GA overall? I don't come across it that much if at all but my collective range is very narrow in GA (Bats & Supes) so my perspective is limited at best.

Missed the ending. I am shocked. Way off the mark on this one. That was such a gorgeous copy too. Really curious what the winning bidder's max bid was. Did the auction just end? Or were two bidders dancing back and forth sending it into repeat overtime?

Seems like a soft price....bad time of the year to be a seller seems like the summer time is the best (or late spring).

 

Good buy for the winner that is for sure.
