Detective Comics #1 (DC, 1937) CGC App FN/VF 7.0
<B>Detective Comics #1 (DC, 1937) CGC Apparent FN/VF 7.0 Extensive (P) Off-white pages.</B></I> Good-looking copy of one of the most significant of all comic book issues, the book that DC was named after. Considering that CGC has certified a mere five unrestored copies of this epic, and that the nicest was FN+ 6.5, one could say this copy looks better than any copy known, except for another restored copy that checks in at an Apparent VF+ 8.5. Comic book pioneers Vin Sullivan (with the classic cover), Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and Creig Flessel all had a hand in this issue, which Overstreet designates as "scarce." CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cover cleaned, reinforced." And all <I>professionally </B></I>we might add! Overstreet 2006 GD 2.0 value = $8,850; VG 4.0 value = $17,700; FN 6.0 value = $26,550; VF 8.0 value = $62,000. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
