Detective Comics #359 CGC 9.8 in Heritage January 2021 Signature Auction 1 1

[kimik]

Since the Batman #181 CGC 9.8 from their November auction has its own thread, this stunning copy deserves one as well. The Alfred Pennyworth collection is such an amazing set of Batbooks.

Wonder if there were 3 Boston copies of this first Batgirl comic since that pedigree had multiples? Will be astounded if this 9.8 hits $90k like #181 (Batman, not Hulk #181).

Printer Crease or pencil?

I'm not seeing what you're seeing - even with the blow up view on HA.

Interesting--I expect it to outperform the 181. It looks better, and I think Barbara Gordon/Batgirl > Poison Ivy, both in terms of importance but also in terms of fans (and thus potential bidders).

Beautiful copy but I’m more than happy with my CVA exceptional CGC ow/w 6.0.

Also probably better in terms of looks as it's hard to beat that figure:

Was there a 9.8 #181(poison ivy) sold on here a while back by Roy? I cant remember if it was a 9.8 or a 9.6 and i think it was $12,000, anyone Know?

I agree with this plus it’s a way cooler cover imo.  However tied for the highest with one other but is a pedigree.  Is the the 181 the single highest graded ?

There are 3 9.8 Universal 181s, and 4 9.8 Universal Detective 359s.

Those corners on that book arent that sharp as well, 9.8 definitely generous.  9.6 seems appropriate.
