| @ticktocktyler You're not wrong! Adams Batman books are increasing in price as far as I've seen. Some of the price increases seem to be driven by subject matter in the cover art as much as some key feature in the book itself. I've considered looking for a nicer Batman #222 (mine is maybe a 3.0), but that won't happen 'til I've saved up a little more cashola! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Byrdibyrd They (whoever "they are"  seem to be pulling rabbits out of hats, now. I see Batman #255 is now a "key". The 1st app of Anthony Lupus. Werewolf. Lupus? Little on the nose, ennit? Haha! Those #222's are a bit aggravating. It looks like many of them didn't staple correctly on the bottom so the covers can be unattached. There are lower mid grades available then we see a few 9.4's for thousands and then nothing. Another REALLY aggravating book is #235. An unremarkable Adams cover but the 2nd app of Ra's Al Ghul. Trying finding a nicely centered one that isn't beat to death. |

| @ticktocktyler 'They' like calling just about anything 'key,' right? Anthony Lupus...? Who!? Am I supposed to know/care about this guy? My bad, I guess. Just wait until 'they' finally pinpoint the first issue wherein Robin is shown barefoot! WOOT! I see so many crunchy #222's that look a lot like mine. It'd be nice to upgrade, but it's like there's hardly anything in mid-grade. I already know I won't be affording one of those sweet copies, but come on! I should count myself lucky that mine has the cover attached. There are A Lot of miswraps on covers in DC books from that time! It really shows on the Batman books because so many covers are dark and the back cover is often white. It's not the nicest look! |

 just received this today, sent a few books for the Perez signing, when it canceled they gave the option to send the books to the wolfman signing. Had 2 copies of dc presents, this was a raw copy I purchased a while back, the other is a 9.6 and opted to have the Perez label. Wish I sent them both in now. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Batman66 Congrads on the buys, those are heavy hitters. My free and unsolicuted take/advice: If the latter book was cracked open by CCS, resto removed by CCS and graded by CGC, why do you think you'd probably lose the pedigree? Unless CGC doesn't recognize Mt Rainer as a pedigree. I'm assuming the top right and bottom right corners are the tear seals on the front cover. May be more on the back cover or elsewhere on the FV and spine, of course but the label denotes amatuer work so my guess is probably correct. Both those corner seals look like they were probably totally (or close to wholly torn off) torn off and sealed by an amatuer. If the tear seals are removed, odds are you'll have borg corners detached, knpocking it down to 3.0 ish blue. If you have the tear sealed removed, best route for highest uni versal grade would be re-attached both corners with plain old Scotch acid-free tape. Not archival tape. @tonystarks had a good post on that topic on here recently, have a look. |

@ticktocktyler your copy of 222 is fantastic! And yeah, I agree, the Adams books are getting out of control. Speaking of Batman 235, I agree the value is getting ridiculous for a second appearance. That being said, Ras Al Ghul has always been my favorite Batman villain. Picked this up a few years ago and had it slabbed last year:  |

This book is hard to find because of the black cover and this mis-wrap is a good example of what you were referring to about black covers:  |

Quote:Originally Posted by lawguy1977 So nice! It includes all of the lettering on the right edge w/o cutting any off! Look at that centering! Congratulations! I just bought a perhaps 6.5 raw just to be able to say I have a copy. @ $30 I figured I couldn't go wrong. But it will not remain my only copy. At some point it can be replaced by a higher grade copy. There's a NICE 9.8 on CLINK. Out of my hands at the moment. The cover (to my taste) is unremarkable and so I ignored it for several years and I admit to not knowing it was Al Ghul's 2nd app. Since we are receding, I hope prices will soften enough so I may purchase a copy like yours. Good for you! You picture made me sob. I will post an image hopefully today of my Tec 405 so you may sob as well. LOL! I always thought the League Of Assassins 1st app. was in the Adams "Strange Adventures" Deadman run. They seem to be the same outfit. |

Quote:Originally Posted by ComicHoarderI did call cgc and was told they wouldn't recognize it as a mt Rainer collection, hero restoration works with cbcs bit they refuse to remove tear seals. I just had my asm 1 that had tears seals removed, it's in transit back from cgc now, it was in cbcs case and I checked with hero on that one as well |

I've done a lot of selling and almost no buying this year. So something had to change and it turned out to be a good weekend. Started off by receiving this FF16 from fellow board member @Siggy  I then went to small local Toy & Comic show and picked up these up.    |

A few more purchases from the Toy & Comic show. I love this cover!    Lastly, under the category of "Buy it when you see it", I bought this because it was just so unique. Not something you see everyday.  |

| I went to a vintage sale yesterday. There were a few vendors who had a couple of short boxes each. What I’m about to show you is why you always have to flip through each comic at a sale like this. The $2.00 price sticker on the bag is exactly what I paid. I’m going to have a clean and press done and send this in. It’s nice and clean and I feel could get an 8.5 or 9.0. I literally was looking around for the hidden camera thinking I was being punked.  |

| @ticktocktyler I would rather have the sig and the placement than scribbled on the logo. So yeah I'm good with it. Chris Claremont has a horrible sig as well. Had him sign a bunch of X-men books all on the first page where it belongs | ||

| We attended our local Con this weekend. Day one was so packed, I got one autograph browsed the floor & left. Jon Heder from Napoleon Dynamite.  Day two was far less hectic. I met Ming from “Comic Book Men” again and got an unsigned copy of the season one press kit. Now I have one to read.  I was super stoked to meet James O’Barr. I searched the Artist Alley for a long time before finding him. Turns out, He didn’t bring his banner because every time He has in they past, they already had one for him. Not this year. I think He would have got A LOT more attention if He had a banner. He signed my ‘The Crow’ hardcover for free, I felt like I had to buy a print. He was super nice.   There was a severe lack of vintage Spidey of key TOS issues. I ended up trading a couple books for this. I’ll turn this into something I really want later. I’m considering a CPR.  I grabbed this too. Just a cool book.  And there was a lack of vintage Wonder Woman, too. But I was able to find one the wife was missing.  And not that she needed one, but I got her another mini backpack for her collection.  |

DC making things hard for collecting Catwoman’s cover appearances. Batman 126 is a 1:100 incentive. Catwoman 43 cover limited to 300 copies. Sigh. |
