    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    Detective Comics #35 (DC, 1940) CGC VF- 7.5 Cream to off-white pages. High grade copies of this desirable issue are practically non-existent. Just one other copy (a VF+ 8.5) has been certified nicer than our offering here. It's certainly the best copy we have ever sold, and we've had ones from pedigree collections like the Davis Crippen "D" Copies, the Billy Wright Collection, and the Lamont Larson pedigree. The fifth Batman cover is considered the best by many collectors. The hypodermic needle cover by Bob Kane is a classic. The issue is currently ranked #21 on Overstreet's Top 100 Golden Age Comics list, and climbing the charts at a rate that could find it as high as #15 within the next few years. Besides the classic cover, Overstreet cites the "classic" splash page of Batman holding a smoking gun. Interior art by Kane and Fred Guardineer. Overstreet 2016 VF 8.0 value = $70,000. CGC census 2/17: 1 in 7.5, 1 higher.

    View the certification for CGC Certification ID 1463966005 and purchase grader's notes if available.
