  1. It's still just stunning to me there are only 24 CGC universal/signature graded copies in 9.0 or higher. There might be a few high grade copies out in the wild, but we know the Sim Signature file copies were the best of the batch.
  2. I think scarcity is driving a lot of the price appreciation as there just aren't that many copies available. Cerebus may never anchor a blockbuster movie franchise, but there are still more nostalgic fans and/or investors than issues to go around.
  3. Higher grade Cerebus #1 still selling at high prices. An 8.0 sold for $9k on HA. https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/cerebus-the-aardvark-1-aardvark-vanahem-1977-cgc-vf-80-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7338-94150.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515
  4. There is a thread on this. https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/462483-cerebus-1-cgc-96/#comments
  5. Another raw sale (and bonus counterfeit) with pretty clear amateur restoration. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334586177518
  6. Cerebus #2 has quite the grading curve too. I can't even count the number of spine ticks and other defects on this 9.0.
  7. Better late than never. I see a few spine ticks on the front and back, so this is a fine specimen, but definitely graded on the "Cerebus curve."
  8. A CGC 9.8 Hulk 181 recently sold for $138,000.00. Do you think the highest graded Cerebus (CGC 9.6) would sell for the same?
  9. If historical poignancy had any measurement in this medium, this would be the most valuable comic book in the world.
  10. When referring to NM, I meant the lowest scale of VF/NM (CGC 9.0) as there seems to be about 20 graded copies in that condition or higher and possibly a handful of other ungraded ones out there. I don't know if anyone has accounted for any high grade copies Deni Loubert may still have, if any.
  11. Cerebus #1 copies in high grade are extremely scarce when you consider there might only be 25 copies in NM or better based on poor printing and age. This approaches the golden age scarcity range of some key books.
  12. The last Cerebus #1 CGC 9.4 sold for $29,130. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/history.asp?item=1453575&back=%2Fauctions%2Fitem%2Easp%3Fback%3D%252FAUCTIONS%252FPREVIEW%252EASP%253Fcode%253D2021feb%2523Item%255F1453575%26id%3D1453575%26itemType%3D0
  13. A rather prominently displayed counterfeit Cerebus #1 is in the following video. The ugly orange color really gives it away.
