Comments:
If I had to put one CGC'd comic over all the rest in my collection, it would be this one. This was by far the best Batgirl series DC ever produced and I simply adore Stephanie Brown as both Batgirl and Robin (and have a soft spot for Spoiler too).
It was an honour to meet the original series artist Lee Garbett at LSCC and not only did I come away with this beautiful SS but a personalised Batgirl sketch too. Thanks LG!

First registered comic in the Worlds' Finest (2012) set. You'll notice the comic has been mislabelled "Worlds' Finest Comics". Caused Nicole no end of trouble getting it into the set! Thanks Nicole :)
My second favourite cover of the New 52!

Comments:
Funny story behind this CGC SS... When I discovered Helen Slater was appearing at LFCC 2014, I went into overdrive trying to find a NM/M copy of issue #50 for the SS. I didn't have much luck until the week running up to the con, where I found what I thought was a near perfect copy (beautiful cover, no spine pulls/stress lines etc). Feeling quite chuffed, I put it to one side until the night before, when on second (and closer) inspection, I discovered it had a very faint crease at the bottom left hand corner (amateur... tsk). The faint crease actually runs throughout all the pages and I wasn't expecting to get higher than 9.2... never been so pleased to get a 9.4!
It was an absolute honour to meet Helen Slater and despite the grade, this now has pride of place amongst my Supergirl collection. So am I going to put it in the main set and lose 14 points? ... Am I heck!

It was an honour to meet both Peter David and Gary Frank at the same convention!
Disappointed with the grade of 9.4. The comic came back with three spine creases on the back cover which (to my recollection) weren't there when I submitted it!
