Is Batman 227 the "key" Neal Adams Batman book to have?

Some stats to keep in mind (I always find this sort of random stuff interesting.) There are now a whopping sixty ASM 129 9.8's in the census. That is a staggering amount of supply when you put it in perspective vs. the Bats 227.
And after eleven years now of slabbing, cracking, pressing, and re-slabbing; the Bats 227 still only has 5 blue label 9.8's in the census with a single yellow label in existence.
Considering what this 227 SS 9.8 sold for last year, LP got a great price and remember, he had to beat someone else out to win the auction. I salute you my friend and congrats on the acquisition. A true grail indeed.
And can you imagine cracking a blue label 227 9.8 in an effort to acquire a NA sig and then taking on the risk of having to re-grade it again from scratch? That is also worth a significant premium.
