why do only very few people collect GA Batman?

 

They are rarely seen here imo

 

I collect GA, SA, BA, CA, and modern Batman's. Here is an old picture from when I finished the run. The Batman 10 was the last book I needed. That copy has been upgraded since the picture.

Bruce, I didn't know you had a Batman 1 and 2!

 

I don't. I previously mentioned that my Batman 1 is just a copy...and number two is not much more than a nice copy of the cover.

Gotcha, I missed that in your other post. I also have that same reprint(the Masterpiece edition, If I'm correct).

you don't have a comic collection until you have a classic-cover batman in it.

Undoubtedly the absolute worst cov ... oh, ah great book! :D

 

Dude, that is THE famous "Dancing Alfred" cover. (thumbs u

 

It's books like this that have turned me against having to collect full runs. I'm sure the Archive reprint will do just fine for this issue(and several others).

I know, I know ... and I've spent decades avoiding it! Not that it's not a wonderful book and all .... :/

it does give me pride in ownership, being 1of only 4 sherwood books labeled as such. but it is a classically silly dc cover, fersure.

 

CGC should adopt this notation on their slabs. There is "classic cover" and then there is "classically silly DC covers".

You're lucky it wasn't a 9.8. That would be a big chunk of change to fill that hole in your pedigree collection. lol

That's odd. Did CGC only recognize the pedigree for a few weeks? hm

something about the colors has always drawn me to this one, and this vancouver copy just went up on w'wide. so glad to have it.

Very nice! #4 doesn't get as much love as #2 and #3 in the run, but it's a cool book nonetheless!
