Red84 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 A restored copy just showed up on YouTube. Is anyone familiar with this particular copy, specifically the type of restoration and the grade? Assuming I read the CGC label correctly: He just posted the book again in a new holder. It's now a PGX 8.0 EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Wayne-Tec read the label barcode right, now we know why YouTube guy was hiding the CGC grade in the first video. It's sad to see any Batman 1 in a PGX case.

It's sad to see any Batman 1 in a PGX case. SAT WHAT!!!!!!! Had this done walk in. Had this unrestored vg/f in early 80s had restored to vf/nm and it only got 8.5 lower right edge trim. They got the trim wrong IMO the guy that did the work told me he never trims books that was in 82 i think. Edited May 21, 2015 by woowoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhcomics Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Looks like entry level Batman 1 .5 incomplete just shattered 10K barrier. This is from what I remember the best presenting .5 incomplete that has sold in last few years so it does present well even with tape, Batman 1 .5 No back cover $15,535 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Isn't the entry for a complete Bats #1 at about $20K? If so this price was right on the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably for a Bat 1 in .5 but not .5 incomplete. I did just notice that CGC did not say INCOMPLETE on label.
