Detective Comics #27 (DC, 1939) CGC FR 1.0 Light tan to off-white pages.
<B>Detective Comics #27 (DC, 1939) CGC FR 1.0 Light tan to off-white pages.</B></I> This milestone comic book remains one of the hottest collectibles of all, holding second place again this year in the updated Overstreet 2004 Top Golden Age Books list. Only <B>Action Comics</B></I> #1 outranks the book that introduced Batman in 1939. Co-creator Bob Kane provided the cover and the interior art on the Batman feature, in which Commissioner Gordon also makes his first appearance. You may find a nicer copy, but this one is complete save for the large chunk out of the back cover, and a small piece from the front. And even at FR 1.0, CGC's census lists just nine unrestored copies with higher grades to date, which makes Gerber's "uncommon" estimation ring true. A truly blue-chip comic classic. Overstreet 2004 GD 2.0 value = $31,250. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
