Batman No.1 at Auction on eBay! Signed Bob Kane

The Comic Book Listings Blog: Found Batman #1 Comic Book on eBay

Batman No. 1

This Batman #1 has a hand drawn sketch of Robin on the back cover Signed by, "Bob Kane"! So Yeah i'm gonna blog about it. The reserve has not been yet (as of this post) but, well here, see for yourself...


Seller's Description:

This auction is for Batman 1 published in 1940 by DC Comics. This comic contains the origin of Batman, the 1st appearance of the Joker, and the 1st appearance of Cat-Woman (The first Villainess in the history of comics) Batman 1 is currently the 6th most valuable comic ever published with a top guide value of $215,000.

The front cover on this particular copy has fantastic eye appeal. Unfortunately the closer you look at the book the more you are able to notice a large number of small non-colorbreaking defects. The back cover has some substantial creasing. The comic has extensive professional restoration including color touch, pieces added, tear seals, spine reinforcement, trimming and has been reglossed. I'm a little hesitant to assign a grade to this book as I've shown it to a number of other comic dealers and opinions on the grade varied widely.

Aside from being a Batman 1, perhaps the coolest thing about the book is that it has a signature and sketch by Bob Kane on the back cover! (The sketch & signature are authentic.)

In addition to being an extremely cool collectible, Batman 1 also makes an excellent investment! Batman 1 went up in value 16% last year in even the lowest grade! This comic has gone up in value consistently every year for the last 40 years. In fact, just for fun I pulled out a price guide from 25 years ago. In the lowest grades, this comic increased in value 1055% over the past 25 years, and it has increased in value 3772% in higher grades. This comic is a safe place to invest money in these days of economic uncertainty!

Unfortunately, unrestored copies of Batman 1 are beginning to become unaffordable to most collectors, with a 5.0 VG/F selling for $44,000 and even a 3.0 G/VG copy selling recently for over $19,000!!

I will be setting the reserve very low on this one, with a buy it now price thats less than what a trimmed, Extensively amateur restored VG+ copy sold for last year. Read More!

NOTE: After checking seller's ebay profile I found, the seller has No Other products for sale on ebay. And that, most of the seller's History at ebay is as a Buyer/CONSUMER, rather than as a seller. I now feel as though I must apologize to everyone as I now believe this Action Comics No. 1 was Never Really for sale, but that the seller "benebuys ", was just Using ebay to test his market, or for some other diabolical purpose. In any case, I am now Sorry I posted this auction, and Apologize to all my Comic book Listings Blog patrons, for being misled, and for the inconvenience. ~CLB

DC Comics: Watchmen- Twelve Issue Series at auction

Comic Book Listings: at auction on eBay.

DC Comics
WATCHMEN

Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The series was published by DC Comics in single issues during 1986 and 1987, and has been subsequently reprinted in collected form. Watchmen originated from a story proposal Moore submitted to DC featuring superhero characters that the company had acquired from Charlton Comics. As Moore's proposed story would have left many of the characters unusable for future stories, managing editor Dick Giordano convinced the writer to create original characters instead.

Moore used the story as a means to reflect contemporary anxieties and to deconstruct the superhero concept. Watchmen takes place in an alternate history United States where the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and most costumed superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and struggles of the protagonists as an investigation into the murder of a government sponsored superhero pulls them out of retirement and eventually leads them to confront a plot by one of their own to stave off nuclear war by killing millions of innocent people. ~ Watchmen-wikipedia

Now the Bargain Hunter for the Comic Book Listings Blog has found All Twelve (12) issues at auction, on ebay, and they are all CGC Graded 9.8. And from what I've seen of the previews for the Watchmen movie about to hit the theaters, NOW, would be a very good time to collect this highly sought after comic book series.


Seller's Description:

This is for Watchmen issues 1-12 all CGC 9.8 (white pages), cases are in mint shape, be sure to look for the other comics in my other items, all CGC.

Listing for the Watchmen 1-12, all 12 issues are CGC 9.8 and all white pages, a full and complete set. Very hard to put together but a must for your collection.

WiLL be shipped Priority mail individually bubble wrapped and extra padded in the sturdy box.

All the cases are perfect and still bagged, any funny shade or anything in the picture is from the flash. Incredible lot that you won't see on ebay again soon so get it now.
