You sure seem to be spending a lot of time on these boards here while in Honduras.

Are you already getting bored with your little vacation and can't find any local comic shops down there to rummaged through?

Just in between meetings...I wish vacation. Work harder and longer here in a week than I do in the states in a month (non convention time)

I've always liked this book, but the "Bruce Wayne" prototype thing can be over-hyped (e.g., some guy is asking a crazy price for a copy over on CLink), especially since the story is a reprint from DPS 5 (as rick notes).

And I say this being the owner of the Church copy...

I agree. These copies always sold for a few hundred ...the clink hype is just that...marketed hype. There is no support at that level (or anywhere close). Scott just auctioned his .5 (my former copy, I believe )on cc. What did it close at, anyone know?

Are you sure that the DPS 5 was sold on the CC auction site since I cannot find the listing for it on their Event Auction, or was it listed in one of their other smaller auctions?

Based upon what I am seeing in the auction marketplace over the past couple of years, it looks like both CL and especially CC are taking a big step forward, while Heritage seems to be stepping back from the comic books themselves and focusing much more of their attention to the comic OA related market.

I have, sitting inside my collection. 

Probably the first ever Centaur I brought way back in the day.  Came from Harley who had it at one of his Seattle conventions at the time.  Have very few Centaurs in my collection, but virtually all of them came from Harley as he seem to be one of the only dealers to have them at the time. 

I believe my copy is the Larson which I didn't know anything about back then and I also don't believe Harley charged any kind of premium for the pedigree at the time.
