Owner's Description

Welcome to the set 9.6 that has near perfect cover alignment; waiting for a 9.8 to arrive.

As I wrote previously: "Detective Comics 437

I presently do not have a copy of Detective Comics 437 in this set. The CGC graded copy that I had in this set last year, although a 9.8 with white pages and having a description that read: The brilliant Jim Aparo created a cover for the ages with this beauty. This book should be part of every collection for the cover alone. I'll leave it at that. This book is the best CGC 9.8 graded copy of this issue as the cover has only a slight strip of white running along the left side!, never quite met my standards as it had a cover miswrap that bothered me. Thus, once I find a copy of Detective Comics 437 with perfect cover alignment I hope to add it to this set."

Although my "search" for a CGC graded 9.8 copy of Detective Comics 437 continues, I was fortunate enough to find this very nice white-paged copy, despite the miswrap, of this issue and decided to purchase it in order to fill this long-empty set slot. If I had the time, I would attempt to find my OO copies, or one of the many that I have purchased over the years, and determine if any may garner a 9.8 (9.9 or 10.0, hopefully) from the folks at CGC. Unfortunately, that will have to wait.

Oh, yes, the brilliant Jim Aparo ...!
