lhcomics Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Cap has lesser page quality at Light Tan/OW pages so if Cap can finish within 10% of Bat 1 then books are basically same value I would think. I believe Bat 1 will exceed Cap by 30% when the smoke clears keeping the Dark Knight on top. Batman 1 Captain America 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Both very nice books, should be fun to watch Edited February 1, 2018 by thedude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telerites Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Bats is way ahead right now but I would take the Cap in a heartbeat. Cap first appearance and my personal grail with an incredible, iconic cover over a much weaker cover and not even a first appearance (all my opinion, of course). rebelpk, jimjum12 and stephankeisman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotham Kid Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Speaking of books in 3.5 grade, the Tec 35 is just so nice. Real shame about the tape stains on it. Edited February 1, 2018 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr bla bla Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) The Bat 1 3.5 is reeealy nice. The rat chew on the Cap is a little bit of an eyesore imho. Edited February 1, 2018 by Mr bla bla rjpb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies to the consignor, but I can't believe that book gets that high a grade. I can remember pouring over Overstreet's (ever-changing) grading criteria through the decades and sitting there wondering about that 1/4 inch piece missing from just the cover (and what a 1/2 triangle means - leg or hypotenuse) and training myself to believe that none of my books are better than VG, and here we have a chew that goes thru the entire book?? I recall buying a really nice ASM 20 with the first Scorpion from an old-school dealer at VG price levels because it has a dust shadow and the guide used to say any tanning or browning to the cover was no better than VG. Heck, I've seen slabbed books by the many dozen get a NM grade with shadows, tanning, and even foxing. It still seems really, really subjective out there.

Im stunned that these two books are same grade. The chew goes through the entire Cap1 book. If you assembled every piece missing from every page, - well thats a lot of paper missing ! Just sayin ...

gadzukes Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It'll be interesting to watch these two, but it is simply not a fair fight because of the rat chew. Knightsofold and Primetime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhcomics Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 If I were wanting an "affordable" Cap 1 this would make me happy. The chew is unfortunate but it seems with each page the damage is less and less. The back cover not affected at all. This is probably 5.0/5.5 without the chew.

Dark Knight Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yeah not a fair fight at all due to the rat chew. Bats 1 will outsell Cap 1. Will be a delight to watch though . Primetime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
