1957-1989 DC Comics DETECTIVE (Volume #1) #250-600 comics.                                   (List Updated 3-20-24)

I am always updating these lists as I am acquiring more of them, so keep checking back if you need certain issues!


The majority of these are old and rare.  Because of this after issue number in drop down list I have assigned it a letter grade what I believe the condition is.  After you get to issue #500 they really become higher grade.  If their is no grade after number then they are in Very Fine to Near Mint condition.  I am not a professional grader by any means but I have a vast collection and I have been buying, selling and sending comics out to be professionally graded for over 40 years now.  So I think I am pretty fair with grades I am giving each comic.  I know everyone has their own opinion of grading that is why each early issue listed on here has a picture of the front and back.  This allows you to decide condition as well.  I have my grading scale below.  I do these "You Pick" auctions because as a longtime collector, I would always get frustrated when I needed a issue or two an I could not find any for a reasonable price shipped.  Also I will always be adding to this list as I am always buying out old dealers stock.  I will be starting many of these lots for various titles if you are looking to fill in your sets. 


My Grading scale is similar to the standard Overstreet Comic Book Guide which grades from 1 (Fair) to 10 (Mint):

.5 to 1.5 Fair (FA) 

2 - Good (G)

2.5 to 3.5 - Good to Very Good (G/VG)

4 - Very Good (VG)

4.5 to 5.5 - Very Good to Fine (VG/FN)

6 - Fine (FN)

6.5 to 7.5 - Fine to Very Fine (FN/VF)

8 - Very Fine (VF)

8.5 to 9.0 Very Fine to Near Mint (VF/NM)

9.0 to 10 (NM)

I never list anything above Near Mint (NM) even if I think it is.   

I also have other DC & Marvel characters in "You Pick" auctions in my store under "You Pick".  I also have more categories of "You Pick" Detective Comics for later issues if you are looking for those, all the way up to recent releases.  Other Batman related  "You Pick" auctions currently listed includes: Batman, Legends Of The Dark Knight, Shadow Of The Bat & Superman / Batman.  

DOMESTIC SHIPPING & HANDLING: I ship everything through USPS.  The 1st comic is $4.50 and each additional comic is .50 cents.  Please add everything to your cart before checkout so you recieve your correct shipping amount because we will not be able to send shipping refunds after items are paid!  If having issues getting the proper discount just add everything to cart 1st and request a invoice!  - ty the management!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING & HANDLING: I will ship either First Class if package is under the 4 pound limit, or Priority Mail.  Shipping abroad is very expensive usually and it is also very difficult for me.  If you have any special requests on shipping ask me before you bid on auction.  Ii will combine shipping whenever possible, there are size and weight restrictions shipping internationally so combining shipping is not always possible.  Some things I cannot do and some i will not do.
