SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Issue #90 features the Super Batwoman, along with our trio of male heroes. This book is effectively where our WF collection begins and was easily the most expensive book in our set. It is far and away the best copy ever certified by CGC, as the next highest graded copy is a 9.0. We targeted it to go along with our single highest graded copies of Issues #91 and 92. But for some unknown reason, we were obviously not the only ones who really wanted it and the bidding got way out of hand. It was the last book in the Thursday session of the January 2021 Heritage Auction and, if we had not been basically shut out of that auction, we never would have ended up with it. But because we had already lost so many books we had targeted in that auction, we kept bidding on this one-although admittedly, we would not have bid again if the other buyer had made one more bid. It’s strange how you end up with some books and lose others, it is often a question of how much you have already spent that month. I would have probably preferred several books I lost in that auction, which I could have gotten for what I paid for this one, but it was all a question of when each book came up in the auction.
At any rate, it is a cool book with great colors. We acquired it in the 1/14/2021 Heritage Auction.
2024 Update: In reading our description above, I guess one thing that is now inaccurate is that we do own earlier issues and are trying to fill in between #71-#89, which is certainly not easy. And while we certainly overpaid for this one, it is still far and away the best copy of this book ever graded by CGC. But this is a very weird title, in that we have paid hundreds for some single highest graded books and then five figures for others. I guess the short explanation is that nobody really collects this title, collectors just target certain covers and this is one of them. Three years later, I am glad we spring for this one, it is still a very cool cover and there is nothing even close in the census. In fact, I just added it to our list of favorite books.
