1966 Topps Batman (Black Bat) - #1 The Batman - PSA 9 - None Higher! (ROOKIE) .
The Dark Knight makes his grand entrance in the very first card of the 1966 Topps "Black Bat" series - The Batman. Norman Saunders' bold brushwork captures the Caped Crusader in motion, surrounded by bursts of color that defined the campy, kinetic energy of 1960s pop culture. Graded PSA 9, this stunner is one of the highest-graded examples known, with none higher on the PSA Population Report. As part of the #1 ranked set on the PSA Registry, it embodies the unmatched quality and care behind this legendary collection. Simply put, this is the Batman rookie every serious collector dreams of owning.
Part of a complete set that took its devoted collector nearly a decade to assemble and finalize in 2015, this card reflects years of meticulous upgrading to secure the best-available specimens for every number in the series. Opportunities to acquire cards from a set of this pedigree are exceedingly rare, and examples from the #1 ranked 1966 Topps Batman (Black Bat) set on the PSA Registry stand among the most coveted in the hobby. Each represents a chance to own a genuine piece of vintage pop-culture history - a tribute to Norman Saunders' legendary artwork and the enduring legacy of Gotham's greatest heroes and villains.
