💥 Daredevil #1 CGC 9.4 OW-WP!✅ Features the origin and 1st appearance of Daredevil (Matt Murdock) + the 1st appearance of Karen Page and Foggy Nelson!✍ Story written by Stan Lee👨🏻🎨 Cover Art by Bill Everett and Jack Kirby🖼 Interior Art by Bill Everett📊 Overstreet 2022 NM- 9.2 value = $28,000.📈 Currently ranked #22 on Overstreet’s list of Top 50 Silver Age Comics!⚖️ CGC Census Report as of 11/08/2022: out of a total of 4,703 Universal copies graded, ONLY 39 copies were graded in 9.4 with only 34 copies graded higher: 32 in 9.6 and 2 in 9.8!❗️ This represents an impressive rarity factor of ONLY 0.83% of the total population!____________________________📝 WOW! Although this particular copy doesn’t have the “perfect” cover wrap, (as you can see just a slight part of the front cover from the back), what’s special about this copy is the super BRIGHT COLORS (without any cover transparency), the PERFECT CENTERING (the image including the comics code authority stamp are 100% visible and aligned properly), the super TIGHT SPINE, the PERFECT CUT (along the top and along the side) and the PERFECT STAPLE PLACEMENT!🏆 When I factor in all of these high quality aesthetic properties featured on this pristine CGC 9.4 copy, which represents only 1 of 39 in the world, the very slight mis-wrap on the back cover became a non factor to me, as this copy is by far one of the strongest presenting CGC 9.4s I have seen!🎥 = 📈 After Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock) made his return cameo appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and with all of the recent announcements that Daredevil will be reprising his role in multiple upcoming MCU projects including She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, Echo, Daredevil: Born Again & Spider-Man: Freshman Year, the future looks extremely bright for The Man Without Fear’s debut appearance in Daredevil #1!

For additional information on Amazing Spider-Man #129, please enjoy the following write-up taken from my CGC Registry!
"Amazing Spider-Man #129 showcases the 1st appearance of the Punisher (Frank Castle) and the Jackal!
The Punisher was created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru, with publisher Stan Lee providing the name.
The classic cover art displaying the “Different and Deadly” Punisher was drawn by legendary artists Gil Kane and John Romita. The most lethal hired assassin is featured in his iconic skull-imprinted black suit with an arsenal of weaponry, including an automatic assault rifle in which he is unloading a full clip of ammunition directly at Spider-Man.
The close up view of the Punisher’s sniper scope depicts a defenseless and aerial bound Spider-Man avoiding bullets exploding against the surrounding brick buildings, with cross hairs aimed precisely at his heart! Couple this action on a commanding bright yellow cover, and you have one of the most sought-after and treasured comics in the history of the Amazing Spider-Man title!
As a matter of fact, ASM #129 is considered one of the top 10 most valuable Bronze Age (1970-1984) comic books of all-time and remains a contender for one of the top 5 most valuable Bronze Age Marvel Keys! For instance, sales for ASM #129 in CGC 9.6 and 9.8 have already begun surpassing that of what Giant-Size X-Men has been selling for in grade. In terms of the Amazing Spider-Man title, ASM #129 is “The” most valuable and expensive issue of the entire Bronze Age!
Moreover, what made the Punisher truly unique is that although he was originally created as a villain; he was gradually developed into a crime-fighting antihero. It was characters like the Punisher and Ghost Rider (1st introduced in Marvel Spotlight #5 in August of 1972), that would influence the industry in creating more violent and grittier material.
Since the Punisher’s inception in February of 1974, he has starred in 3 feature films. The first Punisher movie premiered in the USA on July 8, 1990 at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention, and was characterized by actor Dolph Lundgren.
It wasn’t until 14 years later; on April 16, 2004, in which The Punisher had a reboot and was played by actor Thomas Jane with John Travolta playing the antagonistic character Howard Saint. The setting took place in Florida, which was not true to the comics as Frank Castle’s origins take place in Queens, New York.
The most recent installment, Punisher: War Zone, released on December 5, 2008, was played by actor Ray Stevenson. In addition, actor Dominic West played the Punisher’s arch enemy Jigsaw (William “Billy” Russo), which is true to the comics as Jigsaw was introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #162 and plays a significant and enduring role throughout the Punisher’s storyline.
Unfortunately, none of the aforementioned Punisher films were successful. There were a number of reasons why none of the films gave the Punisher’s character justice; they ranged from inconsistencies in the comics to corny representations of the characters to not finding the “right” actor to emulate and embody the Punisher to perfection.
Fortunately, after decades of failed attempts to portray the character and build a successful franchise, in March of 2016, the Punisher was played by “The Walking Dead” alum Jon Bernthal (Shane Walsh) in season 2 of the critically acclaimed Netflix Daredevil series! Prior to his big screen debut and adding fuel to the hype, Marvel Head of Television Jeph Loeb said in the initial announcement on Marvel.com, “Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences. Castle's appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”
Since then, the Punisher has been kicking and captivating the audience into his psyche that depicts pain and vengeance amidst his fragmented memories of being a former loving husband and father of two, before they were tragically killed by the mob. Furthermore, on November 17, 2017, the Punisher was officially integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the release of his own self-titled series on Netflix!
Finally, it looks like the Punisher is getting justice on the silver screen! In turn, this has translated into increased demand for high-grade copies of Amazing Spider-Man #129, as the Punisher’s stock has significantly surged!"

For additional information on Amazing Spider-Man #129, please enjoy the following write-up taken from my CGC Registry!
"Amazing Spider-Man #129 showcases the 1st appearance of the Punisher (Frank Castle) and the Jackal!
The Punisher was created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru, with publisher Stan Lee providing the name.
The classic cover art displaying the “Different and Deadly” Punisher was drawn by legendary artists Gil Kane and John Romita. The most lethal hired assassin is featured in his iconic skull-imprinted black suit with an arsenal of weaponry, including an automatic assault rifle in which he is unloading a full clip of ammunition directly at Spider-Man.
The close up view of the Punisher’s sniper scope depicts a defenseless and aerial bound Spider-Man avoiding bullets exploding against the surrounding brick buildings, with cross hairs aimed precisely at his heart! Couple this action on a commanding bright yellow cover, and you have one of the most sought-after and treasured comics in the history of the Amazing Spider-Man title!
As a matter of fact, ASM #129 is considered one of the top 10 most valuable Bronze Age (1970-1984) comic books of all-time and remains a contender for one of the top 5 most valuable Bronze Age Marvel Keys! For instance, sales for ASM #129 in CGC 9.6 and 9.8 have already begun surpassing that of what Giant-Size X-Men has been selling for in grade. In terms of the Amazing Spider-Man title, ASM #129 is “The” most valuable and expensive issue of the entire Bronze Age!
Moreover, what made the Punisher truly unique is that although he was originally created as a villain; he was gradually developed into a crime-fighting antihero. It was characters like the Punisher and Ghost Rider (1st introduced in Marvel Spotlight #5 in August of 1972), that would influence the industry in creating more violent and grittier material.
Since the Punisher’s inception in February of 1974, he has starred in 3 feature films. The first Punisher movie premiered in the USA on July 8, 1990 at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention, and was characterized by actor Dolph Lundgren.
It wasn’t until 14 years later; on April 16, 2004, in which The Punisher had a reboot and was played by actor Thomas Jane with John Travolta playing the antagonistic character Howard Saint. The setting took place in Florida, which was not true to the comics as Frank Castle’s origins take place in Queens, New York.
The most recent installment, Punisher: War Zone, released on December 5, 2008, was played by actor Ray Stevenson. In addition, actor Dominic West played the Punisher’s arch enemy Jigsaw (William “Billy” Russo), which is true to the comics as Jigsaw was introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #162 and plays a significant and enduring role throughout the Punisher’s storyline.
Unfortunately, none of the aforementioned Punisher films were successful. There were a number of reasons why none of the films gave the Punisher’s character justice; they ranged from inconsistencies in the comics to corny representations of the characters to not finding the “right” actor to emulate and embody the Punisher to perfection.
Fortunately, after decades of failed attempts to portray the character and build a successful franchise, in March of 2016, the Punisher was played by “The Walking Dead” alum Jon Bernthal (Shane Walsh) in season 2 of the critically acclaimed Netflix Daredevil series! Prior to his big screen debut and adding fuel to the hype, Marvel Head of Television Jeph Loeb said in the initial announcement on Marvel.com, “Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences. Castle's appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”
Since then, the Punisher has been kicking and captivating the audience into his psyche that depicts pain and vengeance amidst his fragmented memories of being a former loving husband and father of two, before they were tragically killed by the mob. Furthermore, on November 17, 2017, the Punisher was officially integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the release of his own self-titled series on Netflix!
Finally, it looks like the Punisher is getting justice on the silver screen! In turn, this has translated into increased demand for high-grade copies of Amazing Spider-Man #129, as the Punisher’s stock has significantly surged!"

- HIGHEST GRADED!!! (RARE! Only 1 of 31!)
- PERFECT WHITE PAGE QUALITY, CENTERING, CUT, & COVER WRAP!!
- FRESHLY GRADED & ENCAPSULATED in the NEW CGC Holder!! PERFECT DISPLAY!

According to the CGC Census Report as of 12/5/2017, out of more than a total of 3,137 copies professionally graded, this copy represents ONLY 1 of 31 CGC UNIVERSAL 9.8 copies in the world!!Now let's just put that in perspective, there are ONLY 31 CGC Universal CGC 9.8s out of more than "3,137" copies graded!!! That's a rarity factor of only 0.009%! That's 9 "tenths" of 1%!! That means that for every 500 copies graded, there are only approximately "5" (4.94 to be exact) CGC 9.8s graded!!! In other words, for approximately every 1,000 copies graded, only "9" CGC 9.8s are estimated to be added to the CGC Census!! THAT'S CRAZY!!Created by legendary writer Len Wein (who just passed on 9/10/2017) and legendary cover artist Herb Trimpe (who passed on 4/13/2017), Wolverine is the most significant comic book character created in the last 43 years!!!With that said, Wolverine has become the most popular character in the entire Marvel Universe, next to the franchise’s marquee character—the Amazing Spider-Man!In the Marvel cinematic world, Wolverine has been characterized on the silver screen by famed actor Hugh Jackman for an astonishing 17 consecutive years in a total of 9 films! With the start of the new millennium in the year 2000 up until the year 2017, Hugh Jackman (as Wolverine) has been featured in the following Marvel films: X-Men (2000); X2: X-Men United (2003); X-Men: The Last Stand (2006); X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009); X-Men: First Class (2011); The Wolverine (2013); X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014); X-Men: Apocalypse (2016); and Logan (2017).To say that Hugh Jackman has had success towards making Wolverine and the X-Men a viable movie franchise would be a gross understatement! Rather, he has ventured into “legendary status,” with almost 2 decades of filmmaking and helping to contribute a Worldwide Box Office Total of OVER 5 BILLION DOLLARS! As a direct result, copies of Incredible Hulk #180 will only continue to appreciate and rise in value annually, making it not only one of the most coveted books of the Bronze Age to collect and showcase, but one of the most secure long-term investments!The last Incredible Hulk #180 CGC 9.8 W recently sold on eBay for 8K on September 9, 2017.This copy looks better than that one! (and the other two 9.8s currently being offered by Comic Mylars on eBay)On that note, my BIN price of 9.5K for this beautiful and perfectly centered and BRIGHT CGC 9.8 W copy is very reasonable for the rarity and significance of this issue! The value and DEMAND is only trending UPWARD so the sky is the limit!If my former copy of Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.8 W (1st full appearance of Wolverine) sold for 23K on September 3, 2017, don't you think this PRISTINE WHITE-PAGED COPY (Highest Graded and 1 of 31) of Wolverine's 1st TRUE APPEARANCE is at least worth 10K?This World Class copy hails from The Professor Pecora Collection, which is from my personal collection!

eBay Link ---> Daredevil #111 CGC 9.8 W (1st appearance of the Silver Samurai)! #1 COPY! Only 1 of 11!
ATTENTION: PM me on the CGC Boards with an offer I can't refuse and I will END the eBay listing immediately (IF NO BIDS ARE PLACED) and the book is yours! Happy Holidays! -Professor Pecora
Daredevil #111 CGC 9.8 W (1st appearance of the Silver Samurai!)
HIGHEST GRADED!!!PERFECT WHITE PAGE QUALITY, CENTERING, CUT, & COVER WRAP!! (#1 COPY known to exist!!)According to the CGC Census Report as of 12/12/2017, out of more than 213 copies professionally graded, this copy represents ONLY 1 of 11 CGC 9.8 copies in the world!!Out of those 11 CGC 9.8 copies, very few of them have PERFECT White Page Quality and NONE are more Perfectly Wrapped, Cut & Centered as this pristine beauty displays!! Trust me; I have personally owned 3 of the 11 CGC 9.8 copies (all of which had perfect white page quality) and I am telling you that this copy is superior to them all! (Just take a good look at the high-resolution scans for confirmation!)We're talking "The 1st Appearance of the Silver Samurai!" The Silver Samurai is a MAJOR Wolverine Villain and was featured in the blockbuster film "The Wolverine," which was released on July 24, 2013! In addition, there is a great probability that the Silver Samurai may eventually appear in the smash Daredevil Netflix series, as he was also hired by the Kingpin as one of his assassins (in the comics) and has ties to Elektra and the Hand.Furthermore, although Wolverine's #1 arch enemy will always be Sabretooth, the Silver Samurai is a strong runner up! On that note, Daredevil #111 predates the 1st appearance of Wolverine (Incredible Hulk #180) by 3 months!This book looks flawless!! A true Bronze Age Gem published in July of 1974 with cover art drawn by Ron Wilson & Frank Giacoia to boot!!This World Class copy hails from The Professor Pecora Collection, which is from my personal collection!
