The following are two Silver Age books that I absolutely love.

Green Lantern #1 (DC, 1960) CGC NM 9.4

Green Lantern's recent meteoric rise bums me out. I was buying some Green Lanterns, and then, along came the movie blowing prices up on the really good stuff. Case in point, this book. This exact copy sold for 18,975.00 at Heritage in 2003. Recently, a 9.2 of this book sold for $30,450.00. What does that result mean for this 9.4? Hopefully some crazy number north of $50k.

Comiclink has a Featured Auction ending this week. Not that they've exactly flown under the radar, but we've all been paying just a little bit of extra attention. Time to give CL some love:

(And Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the States)

Scoop is reporting that Doug sold a CGC VF/NM Hulk #1 for $100,000. With all of these Marvel keys getting into six figures my head is starting to spin.

From the "better late than never" department, the latest Heritage auction produced two new official members of the $100,000 club.

The The Incredible Hulk #1 CGC NM- 9.2 sold for  $125,475.00 and the Amazing Fantasy #15 Biljo White Copy (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF+ 8.5 sold for $104,562.50.

Now I just need to update the actual list…

Yes it is. Here are a few lots I'm watching:

WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #1 CGC 10.0 MT

Sue me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Modern drek. Copper crapola. Whatever This is cool to me.

I went through the catalog yesterday. I limited myself to picking twelve lots of interest to share with you guys. It was tough because this is an auction full of some interesting material. The Joe Kubert lots themselves could have produced a decent set of 12 items to ogle.

The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM- 9.2

This is clearly the book of the auction. I don't get excited easily by Silver Age marvels, but this book brings a smile to my face. It's tough to find in high grade and it's the HULK.

Hulk smash!

As of this writing it sits at $45,000. Still plenty of room for a thrill bid, I think.

Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.8 1st Wolverine

In this issue, Wolverine makes his first full appearance in a battle royale against the Hulk. What better way then to make a first appearance than to battle the most powerful super being in the world! Next to Spider-Man, Wolverine has emerged as the most popular superhero in the Marvel Universe. Shortly after this issue, Wolverine appeared in Giant-Size X-men #1 and became a permanent part of the most exciting superhero team of the last three decades. This is a pristine CGC NM/MT 9.8. Central to the first three X-men movies, Wolverine was the first X-men to make it to the silver screen solo in the recently released X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

INCREDIBLE HULK 181 CGC 9.8 * 1ST WOLVERINE APPEARANCE!

Winning bid: US $18,100.00 Seller: desirableitems ( 284 )
Two bids. That's a lot of money for a two bid auction. Although that figure is only 68% of the high price paid for a 9.8 this year
($26,200). Looking at GPA this book has been all over the place. Selling for as high as $26,200 and as low as $15,000 over the past two years. Yikes!

Here's the description:

This book has WHITE PAGES as per the OLD CGC (and some say back then they played by a much more strict set of grading rules). This book grades VF 8.0 so it is one of the top graded books. As with most WHITE MOUNTAIN PEDIGREE BOOKS there is a written year (date) on the cover… this one is no different. The AF 15, Spidey 1 as well as the FF1 all sold at record or near record prices from this ultimate Silver age Pedigree collection. The INCREDIBLE HULK is the only NUMBER 1 from the WHITE MOUNTAIN COLLECTION that is actually AVAILABLE and NOT tide up with some big name auction house that will stick you for another 20 PER CENT upon obtaining the winning bid.
