(Buyer: comgeek… I'm surprised the forum hasn't crafted a conspiracy surrounding this sale. They're both high profile enough…)
Here's the description:
" Offered here is Batman #1, graded CGC 4.0 with cream to off-white pages. Ranked as the 6th most valuable Golden Age comic in the Overstreet Price Guide, Batman #1 is no doubt one of the most popular key issues in the hobby. The issue features the first appearance of the quintessential comic villian, the Joker, as well as the Catwoman. Unrestored copies are in the minority–especially affordable ones–and this is one of them. Exhibiting the usual wear associated with the VG grade, this copy exhibits nice colors and presents well in the case. A reasonable reserve has been set for this beauty.
