Sold For: $14,000 Seller: johnathan62 (348)

Description:

If you collect comics, you know this is one of the most sought after editions. This is the first D.C. comic ever. It was published in March of 1937 when the Great Depression was in full swing. Very few examples survive today. The inside pages are all intact and are in great shape. I have been on Ebay since 2003 and have sold stuff on Ebay, but not for a while. I am selling this because I need the money. Otherwise, I would not sell my comics. Feel free to email me for more info if needed.

High Value eBay Comics Auction For the Week Ending 2012.5.19 (Archie #1)

Archie Comics #1 CGC 4.0 OW/W 1st Ms. Andrews 1st Teen Comic Bob Montana MLJ 

Sold For: US $23,200.00 Seller: sparklecitycomics (45175)

Description:

Archie Comics #1 CGC 4.0 OW/W 1st Ms. Andrews 1st Teen Comic Bob Montana MLJ

Archie Andrews is one of the longest running and most important comic book characters of all-time. Unlike the Superhero genre, where there is debate and competition, there is no other teen humor character even close in significance. Archie Comics #1 is an important and highly desirable comic that features several Key firsts. Its the first appearance of Ms. Andrews (Archie's mother), the first time the Archie-Veronica relationship is explained in detail, and this book is the first comic entirely devoted to teens. This stunning copy was graded 4.0 because of the relatively small piece out of the back cover. One look at the front cover scan will tell you thius is no ordinary 4.0 copy. This example can easily pass for a 6.0 to 7.0 copy and even though it received OW/WHITE pages, looking at the book before submission made us think it should have received WHITE pages as the interior, both covers and pages were bone white. Archie Comics #1 is finally getting its due over the past couple of years and we think there is plenty of room to appreciate based on importnace and scarcity. Consider this, there are ONLY 27 copies of Archie #1 that have been certified as compared with 174 copies of Batman #1 and 96 copies of Superman #1. There are only 6 certified copies that have graded higher and probably no more than 3 of them can eqaul the cover appeal. The original owner title adds to the appeal considering this copy was just pulled from a box where it sat for the better part of 6 decades less than a week ago. We are certain this important and scarce piece of Americana will find a great home. Serial number 1097565014

Description:

Suspense Comics #3 CGC 6.5 SCARCE Classic Schomburg Bondage Cover Continental'

Suspense Comics #3 is one of the most desirable comics of the golden age. The cover is arguably Schomburg's best and due to both its scarcity and cover art, Suspense Comics #3 is at the top of just about every golden age collector's list. The biggest problem is finding a copy. This amazing copy is one just about the best that can be acquired. There are just 2 copies that have graded higher with the highest being a lone 8.0 and just a single coipy one notch down at 7.5. It is doubtful that either of those copies will be available anytime soon. Serial number 0013021002. Very small piece of tape on centerfold at staple.

Description:

Detective Comics #27 CGC 1.8 OW/W 1st appearance BATMAN Bob Kane DC Golden Age

Detective Comics #27 which introduced Batman to the world is easily the 2nd most desirable comic ever printed. With Batman's longevity, increased demand and popularity as compared with Superman in recent years, it appears that the gap in both price and importance has be closing between Detective #27 and Action #1. There are only 27 unrestored copies of this MEGA KEY golden age 1st appearance that have been certified in 12 years of CGC's existence. Of those 27 copies, only 4 examples fall in the "relatively affordable" grade range of 1.5 and 2.5. This example is one of those 4. The eye appeal and color strike are more beautiful than the assigned grade. Part of the reason for the beautiful page quality and appearance, is the fact that this example was stored in a box for 65 years in a cool climate. Its a rare opportunity to buy a fresh to market book of this caliber. This auction is NO RESERVE.
