Hey all need some opinions I have the chance to buy a batman #47 origin of batman for around 350$

Its in rough shape and is missing the cover, do you think 350 is a steep price to pay for this comic.  The rest of the comic is there some pages are slightly torn on the bottm but still intact and pages are fading it has not been cared for obviously.

It has always been my opinion that a coverless comic book would always rate in Poor (0.5) or worse condition. The guide has a poor Batman #47 at $92.00. However, I have no idea the actual rarity of this book. Sure it's an old Batman, but how hard it is to find a 2.0 for $350 is unknown to me.

If a quick decision is what is needed, I would pass until I've searched harder.

Yeah, if I had the cash to spend I'd pass and look for a deal on one that at least has a partial cover.

Here's a 2.0 asking $450.00

and a 1.0 for $280.00

Good luck ... and welcome to the forums btw.
