That Bats 245 may be my last book for awhile.
Wow, my #251 is up over $220 now and I just noticed the last 9.4 copy in GPA sold for $750. Glad I snagged my 9.4 copy for just over half of that in the February Clink auction.

My old label #251 9.0 w/White pages is really nice. Very well presented and centered, a few non-color breaking creases in very press friendly areas. Would not be surprised if this can be squished up to 9.4/9.6 from my observation. Very tempted to crack it out, but will probably leave it as is.

. . . . . Yeah, I sort of like early Bronze Age Bats, raw or slabbed. I don't discriminate.
These guys aren't too bad either. Missing just two.

Just the right spot at the right time with online dealers. The same day I snagged the 2nd Batman #243 and the #245 I also landed a Batman #227 (VF/VF+) and #251 (VF) form another dealer. Unfortunately, I missed out on a cheap Batman #227 (VF-) at the same time as well - it had sold earlier in the day but was still on the website......
My goal right now is to upgrade my short box or so of Adams Bats/Tecs/GLs to VF or better copies only. There are too many VG to VF- books in the mix from auction lot wins.

Tomahawk covers are underrated.

Bats 227-245,251 are in my opinion Neal Adams best work by far.
