Recent Sales
Recent sales of Batman #89 variants range widely based on the specific variant cover and whether they feature a verified signature or CGC yellow/blue label.
Grading Recommendation
The comic is already professionally encapsulated, likely by a grading service or stored securely; given it is already slabbed, further grading is unnecessary unless upgrading an unverified signature to a authenticated signature series label.
Notable Features
Features the second appearance and early cover appearance of Punchline (Alexis Kaye), making it a modern key issue for DC collectors.
Authentication Notes
The comic is protected inside a standard grading holder (slab), showing standard factory sealing and authentic DC branding with a visible signature on the lower right of the cover art.
