Owner's Description

Detective Comics 472: Classic cover, classic story (no more need be said).

Well, perhaps a bit more. I purchased the CGC graded 9.8 [9.6] copy you see before you from Mr. MCMiles[Ghost Town: the 9.6], a fellow CGC Board member, and the transaction could not have been smoother.

Detective Comics 472 has a cover that only looks better every time I look at it. The story only gets better as well; I wish they could all be as good.

I own a few-more than two, less than 6 (?)-original owner copies of this book but have not the slightest idea in which acid free comic book box they are in because, well, I used to think that I did not need to list the books I owned or their exact "box" location because I would remember. Can you guess what happened?

Keeper[, until I locate a typical CGC graded 9.8 copy [the description of my CGC graded 9.4 read:although this early universal label beauty is as perfect as perfect can be. (Please see image number two)].

Image #2 is of the CGC graded 9.6 copy that I own of Detective Comics 472; I also own a 9.4 copy of this issue that is in a "old Blue Label" CGC holder and has white pages.
