Picked up this old label 9.8 for a steal. Thinking of getting it recased but a bit nervous it won’t come back in a 9.8 still.

Batman #227 — “The Demon of Gothos Mansion”, graded CGC 7.0 Off-White Pages, and this one is pure Bronze Age atmosphere. Featuring a legendary Neal Adams cover, this issue is a direct homage to Detective Comics #31, echoing the towering Batman silhouette, haunted mansion, and classic horror composition from the Golden Age.

This book marked a return to Batman’s darker roots, mysterious, eerie, and cinematic, and stands as one of the most celebrated covers in Batman history. More than just a great issue, it’s a visual conversation between eras of the Dark Knight.

Was going through an old box of cards today and stumbled across these Batman Forever Metal cards from 1995.

The artwork on these things is just incredible — that bold comic-style design mixed with the foil finish was way ahead of its time. Nearly 30 years later, and they still pop like they were just pulled fresh from a pack.

Crazy how a random dig through some old boxes can turn up gems like these.

What other non-sport sets from the ‘90s do you guys still have tucked away?
