Just Breathtaking : Highest-graded copy of 1940 s Batman No. 1 heads to auction in January
Batman #1 (DC, 1940) CGC NM 9.4 White pages.
DALLAS, TX
.-Heritage Auctions will begin the new year by offering the finest-known copy of 1940 s Batman No. 1 which until now has never been sold at auction.
This near-mint issue, the sole copy ever to receive a 9.4 grade from the Certified Guaranty Company, is the centerpiece of the Dallas-based house s Jan. 14-15 Comics & Comic Art event. And this unrestored copy comes to market only weeks after Heritage sold a 7.0-graded copy of Detective Comics No. 27 for $1.5 million. For the moment, at least, that s the highest price ever paid for a Dark Knight title.
