Is my black Batman worth $75-125 as listed in Richard Gearys book?
At the time of Geary’s first book, the black Batman was not in production and were thus highly prized. The blue Batman has remained in production. Then in 1995, PEZ began making the black Batman dispenser again. Older black Batman dispensers are still worth more than the 1995 issues. To determine if your black Batman is an older version, check the patent numbers. The older version has a 3.9 patent number (see question [4-1-12]) and came on yellow, black, or blue stems. The new one has a 4.9 patent number and was issued on a black stem only. Both the blue and black issues have recently been discontinued and replaced by a revised dark blue batman with a larger head.
