Ron, would it make sense to do the same with those DC Batman 3 packs Toys R Us used to carry back in the 80s and 90s or are there just too many variations to list?

First DC and now Marvel is leaving Diamond as a distributor but will treat them like a wholesaler. Hopefully it won't be Hero's world all over again.

It seems to me that covers B and C are the same. Does anyone see a difference or was it added twice?

Tons of golden age Batman and Detective are, in my opinion, undervalued. I'm trying to help where I can by providing value suggestions.

Local comic store and I think maybe a mini convention.

Under the values tab, if you are a paying member, you can make recommendations for CPG to look at. They get thousands of suggestions so it does take time.

A coverless Detective 38 (1st Robin) just sold for a whopping $4000. DETECTIVE COMICS 38 - DC COMICS 1940 - COVERLESS - FIRST ROBIN | eBay

My copy is PGX. I wonder if it would be worth more out of the case (because people think PGX is garbage) LOL.

Ron, I have a CGC 4.0 of Detective 225. I want to say it got that grade due to what looks like a crayon or some sort of mark on it (I don't think its marker). Do you think it would be worth trying to clean/press and then re-grade?

I have seen the same thing at some LCS. I get all my new books from DCBS (can't beat the discount as long as you are ordering enough to cover the shipping charge).

CGC Graded/Encapsulated prices

I think PGX is hit/miss. I talked to some dealers at a convention and most of them hate PGX as the graders they (used to) employ were not good at their jobs. I though I heard recently that they've gotten better at it but the PGX I have are probably from the questionable graders.

Knowing CGC and CBCS are leading the pack, I would probably go to them. CBCS sometimes does discounts monthly if sending books in bulk.

I wish the series was more than 6 episodes. I'm really digging this series and wish it would continue.

Hey Ron,

When I go to my Gains/Drops and filter by all publishers, nothing comes up. If I select a particular brand (say Marvel), it shows it.
