CGC 8.0 Detective Comics #27 Leads at Heritage
|
A CGC-certified 8.0 Detective Comics #27, the first appearance of Batman has a pre-auction estimate of $300,000+ and all eyes watching Heritage Auction Galleries’ February 25-27, 2010 Signature Comics & Comic Art Auction.
It is not alone among the key offerings in the sale.
“Almost all of the most sought-after comics from the Golden Age are in this catalog,” said Ed Jaster, Vice President of Heritage Auctions. “Superman #1, Batman #1, two copies of Detective #27, two copies of Captain America Comics #1 and three copies of Marvel Comics #1, and that just scratches the surface.”
The “Pay Copy” of Marvel Comics #1 CGC 9.0 is one of the most famous single comics in the hobby. In terms of grade, it may be tied with one other at the top of the CGC census, but it is unequaled in terms of significance. It is estimated at $200,000+.
In addition to many other comics, original comic art is also featured in the auction.
Among the offerings are several Peanuts strips featuring iconic themes, including a Snoopy vs. the Red Baron Sunday page estimated at $50,000+, and a selection of works by Joe Kubert.
