Wally's Comics Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 both are awesome reads. Cap rocks, but I've always loved Bats 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightsofold Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The Cap 1 also has to compete against another low/mid Cap #1. Bad timing on those. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/captain-america-comics-1-timely-1941-cgc-qualified-vg-40-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7177-91057.s?ic3=ViewItem-Auction-Open-ThisAuction-120115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaydogrules Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 If I'm not mistaken that is the same Cap 3.5 Reece had on his site for a little while mid last year.... -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedude Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 just thought I'd throw another comparison between the 2 books together. as we remember, this 1.5 Cap #1 sold Dec 7, 2017 on Comic Connect for $70k https://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=746661 and this 1.5 Bat #1 (brittle pages) sold one week later (Dec 15, 2017) with an accepted offer on eBay of $85k. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-1-CGC-1-5-Unrestored-1st-Appearance-of-Joker-and-Catwoman-1940-GORGEOUS-/391805790631?hash=item5b3971e9a7%3Ag%3AkQIAAOSwblZZNKZa&nma=true&si=UuyHtePCHhPSQqT60v5RuROGQFA%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 however, the 1.5 Bat #1 did have much better eye appeal than the 1.5 Cap #1. so with this comparison, I would say that Bat #1 is still a little ahead in FMV than Cap #1. but they are very close and I would say that it really depends on how the books present, will be fun to watch the current 3.5 copies.

Pickie Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Might be more of a fair fight technically if Bat 1 is missing its staples? Not my league, but still ... the Bat then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice post. I agree on the eye appeal. I don't track big books since I can't afford them so thanks for posting this comparison and the links. thedude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am not Glenda Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Quick question to anyone I don't follow prices and I have a 3.5 mod resto BM1 that I bought years ago for $5700 any idea what a real value might be? The jokers on Ebay are just nuts, I was just wondering if anyone had a fair real CMV . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time $5700 actually high if I recall but I wanted the book & had income tax funds to help lol. I am fine if its 20/25 Edited February 2, 2018 by Frank Mozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Pretty tough book to price, I think, given the extent of the resto. But any Bat 1 is a good Bat 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the other resto it loses a little value because of the trimming. But it’s still a Bats 1!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
