Due to an overwhelming blast of letters from thousands (that's Frankie "Mitts" Thousands, the guy who cuts my hair), here is a power-packed pictorial, spotlighting my own overflowing Batman collection! This Bat-bounty contains "just the good stuff," hand-picked rarities from the 60s and 70s (and a bit later), with a dash of oddball and hand-made items! Take a deep breath, and begin your tour now!
