Wow, we were just talking about this a few months or even year or so ago, right? It comes up so rarely for sale, and census numbers are so thin, it was hard to establish what a base value for this book would be. I think my guess at the time was that it would be at least $1500. It's so much harder to find than #1, i think it's worth every penny of this price. I got mine for about $700 in trade value, and that was several years ago, and was thrilled to do it, because I'd been looking forever, and at the time, there were only 4 copies on the census. By comparison, I'd paid $350 for my #1. 

@F For Fakeis correct very, very difficult book to find in 9.8.  Seems as though the follow up printings are easier to get in 9.8 than the first print.  Last time I checked the census still showed 9.8's in the single digits; 8 universal and 1 lone signature series.  I've had four opportunities to purchase a 9.8.  Once from @Iceman399back in 2015, the last 2016 eBay auction, and twice in 2019 off comic link.  I got smart after the first two times and bid on the comic link auctions, finally scoring mine in the fall of 2019 for $800.  I still regret not buying multiple copies of this book when I had the chance.  Not because of the prices but just the sheer difficulty of obtaining a copy.  I guess I should stop complaining considering I have bigger fish to fry trying to get all prints in 9.8, hahahahaha.  First world collectors problems.  Maybe with this last auction more will be submitted or more will pop up.  But I thought that as well in 2019 when one sold for over 1k on comic link.  Who knows, stranger things have happened.

 might have to send mine in now

If it comes back a 9.8 I'm interested.

Submitted this late last year.

Does anyone have the full results of the auction for each book?

@SpawnfreakThank you

No problem Sir. It truly is my pleasure.  This is by far the coolest job I have ever had!  

I figured $1000 tops for that sale but I was way off. Makes me wish I bought multiple copies of this book in 9.8 when I had the chance.

I wish you had a #1 or #3.  Cool book!

Newly scanned, just incredible color on this newsstand edition, for some reason a lot brighter than the two direct market copies I have.

Golden IS golden!

 

Nice book!

There isn't much that I need, Alien-wise, but for whatever reason, there were a couple of holes in my DHP/DHC collection. Picked up a couple of placeholder copies. Those later DHP Aliens appearances are harder to find, and pricier, than I recall!

The later DHP issues, especially Aliens and Predator stuff usually runs about $20 an issue.  The DHC comics not so much unless they're 9.8.  Cool books!

Great looking book!  Is it poor from to ask how much this is going for these days?

Not at all.  It was $1087 after taxes.  Cheaper than the first print but the follow on prints are harder to acquire in high grade so they tend to be costly.

Marvel Universe vs The Punisher was awesome.
