Pizzafist Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) It is confusing.I brought it to their attention a while back and I got them to add the note about the 2009 origin. A lot of people thought they were original 4th printings from 1986 that were short printed in Canada(not the case). A major comic dealer listed it this way on their website.(Probably by accident) And we all went along for the "grail" ride. I do not blame CGC at all on this. This one is very hard to find because it was DC DIRECT. Probably only really collectible to DARK KNIGHT RETURNS fanatics(like myself) When I was first trying to find one I called and emailed every toy dealer I could find and no one coull find one to sell me one. I was ready to pay as much as 5-600 for an unopened one. Now I have seen some come up on ebay and 9.8 s usually sell for 4-550 on ebay. It is a rare variant. maybe it should say Variant instead of 1986? But I don't really care either way. Mine are still in their boxes sealed with the action figures.(worth more that way in my opinion)...

F For Fake Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I wonder what the production run was on this set? I'd have to imagine it was relatively small compared to other DC Direct sets, as this was, I believe, the third release of these sculpts, albeit with a new deco. I know I passed on the set at the time because I'd already bought the original wave of Dark Knight figures, as well as the 4-pack reissue. I couldn't justify buying the figures a third time, even with the new paint job, and I was a pretty devoted DCD collector at the time.

Michael Browning Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 So, since I have the fourth print, I'm now curious what these sell for. I can't find a single sale online at all. Can anyone help me with the value of this comic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazyboy Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 There's no real (established) market for the book. You'll have to settle for whatever some sucker will pay for a way, way later special edition reprint that nobody should particularly care about. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a scratch on batman that would have dropped the grade down lower. I picked an artist that does good remarques, nothing more to it.

WolverineX Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Found a 9.6 copy of this book and wondering what is reasonable to offer the seller. Does anyone have any recent sales for this? There isn't anything on ebay. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
