Is that $45.00 sale legit?

Its confirmed (although at a slightly lower price: $40).

High volume seller with a 100% reputation: Detective Comics #556 1985 NM 9.4 High Definition Scans** | eBay

looks like it could be a 9.6 or even a 9.8 candidate … so someone likely buying hoping to convert to a slabbed 9.8.
