Ralph Garman on Collectors Call

[AndyFish]

I don't usually watch CC but I caught a promo during SVENGOOLIE the other night-- Ralph has an amazing collection but he had a needlepoint Batman piece I've never seen before-- unlike the somewhat common full figure one (which I love) this one was more of a bust. I'm trying to grab a shot of it. Anyone have any additional info on it? Is Ralph still on the boards?

The Collector's Call episode is on YouTube.

Not the greatest resolution, but here's a capture of the needlepoint piece you mentioned.

Yup that's it-- thanks Jim!
Anyone know anything about it?

[Mike Mulitsch]

Its a Hard one to find … Robin is even more difficult to find

Here are the different versions I have in my collection

Very cool! I had no idea there were so many versions.
When I was but a wee-lad my mom and I would walk to a furniture store near our house-- it was called BATEMAN Furniture-- and the owner had the more common Batman one behind the register, someone had given it to him because of the similarity of the name. It was not for sale. When I finally found one some years later I jumped on it and its become one of my favorite vintage collectibles. I love the variants too!
