Well, I think that was the discussion when the run ended... that people didn't expect the value of #1 to hold up given the fact the series was over. Surprisingly, not only did it hold up but it gained strength. I think for at least the mid term it will be more than fine. Eventually it may fade but that's true of a lot of things.
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.

Do you know the origin of this book? I would have thought the 9.6 would be a file copy....
There is a thread on this.

If you compare apples to apples, a 9.4 Cerebus 1 would sell for more than a 9.4 Hulk 181 - current GPA on a Hulk 181 in 9.4 is roughly $14K.
You can't compare a 9.6 or 9.8 Cerebus 1 to a 9.6 or 9.8 Hulk 181 because there aren't any.
There is a single Cerebus #1 in CGC 9.6.

Another raw sale (and bonus counterfeit) with pretty clear amateur restoration.

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.

I am not convinced. Show the back.
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."

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?

I very much highly doubt that there would be 25 copies of this book in NM or better (i.e. CGC 9.4), especially considering that after more than 2 full decades of certification, only a meagre 6 copies of this book have been slabbed in this NM grade or higher.
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.

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.

Late to the party, but are we forgetting Star Wars #1 35-cent price variant? Using the highest grade available common to all these issues, a SW#1 35-cent in 9.4 was $40800 in September. By comparison, in 9.4: MS5 = $19.2K in Spetember; IH181 = $18K in September; GSX1 = $12K in October; HOS92 = no recent sales, but presumably something in that ballpark. IH180 in 9.4 = $5040 in October, so quite behind those still.
This suggests Star Wars #1 35-cent price variant remains the King of the BA, as ranked by Overstreet Price Guide in recent years. Where the others (MS5, IH181, GSX1, and HOS92) rank from 2-5 might also depend on the valuation of Iron Fist #14 35-cent price variant, for which a 9.4 sold for $8200 way back in 2017, and Cerebus #1, which has only two in 9.4 and none higher and sold for $12K in 9.4 in 2019. Scooby Doo #1 only has two 9.4s, the highest graded, so that might be top 7 still. And Green Lantern #76 = $6900 in June, so could be higher than IH180, too, at least for now.
So IH180 might not crack top 10 in the BA. Still respectable and possibly climbing the ranks.
The last Cerebus #1 CGC 9.4 sold for $29,130.

A rather prominently displayed counterfeit Cerebus #1 is in the following video. The ugly orange color really gives it away.

Wait a minute.. a Cerebus 1 9.6 exists now!?!?!? SS series on this census?

Many people don't understand why copies of Cerebus #1 are skyrocketing in price. Setting aside the demand for the book itself, Sim's legacy, and it's place in the history of independent comics, it checks two very important boxes in collectibles. 1) Absolute Rarity (there are only 2,000 copies and some of those are presumed not to exist anymore). 2) Condition Rarity (most copies are badly damaged and looking at the CGC census, it's easy to see that possibly 25 copies exist at the CGC 9.0 grade or higher).

I think it sold for significantly more than the opening bid amount.

Another #1 apparently sold within hours of posting ...

Funny Aminals #1 CGC 9.9
Comic books are so prevalent in today's society, but in 1972, a quirky titled Robert Crumb book featured the first iteration of Art Spiegelman's Maus.
Twenty years later, Maus became the first (and is still the only) graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize. This is truly a remarkable moment for the industry. A nearly 50-year old comic book in CGC 9.9 is incredibly rare, but featuring the first appearance of such a noteworthy event is beyond cool.

There may be a duplicate or two of resubmissions, but considering there are only 20 or so copies of Cerebus #1 graded CGC 9.0 or higher, makes this issue an extremely hard find in VF/NM condition.

How collectible or rare are the infamous 2007 Valiant Sneak Peak (sic) issues? I've picked up two copies in the wild of the "trashcan" issue.

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.
