I think the Dentist's Superman #1 is a $3,000,000 book. It's the most valuable non-Action #1/Detecrtive #27 comic, in my mind. Other million dollar books from the also-rans: Mile High/Edgar Church Copy of Marvel Comics #1 Incredible Hulk #1 CGC 9.4 Batman #1 Church Copy (guess who owns this) Church All American #16 CGC 9.4 Captain America #1 Allentown CGC 9.8 Mile High/Edgar Church Superman #1 CGC 8.0 Superman #1 CGC 8.0 (the old 7.5) Amazing Fantasy 15 CGC 9.6 (x3)

If you work up from the 9.0 price it might be expected to be a $30k book right now. Doubling value for every .2 is a rough guide to value for Silver Age books and 9.0 DD #1s sell for between $7500 - $8500. That puts you at $15,000+ for a 9.2 and $30,000+ in 9.4. Obviously, if 9.6s are at $35-38,000 then that rough guide falls apart here. If 9.6s were back at $50-60,000 then we'd be back on track

Oh, I know, but it still brings up a crazy point about the book's price trajectory.

That's just the thing, the TV series has had an effect it's just been slower to show itself in the highest grade copies. I think that's changing now.

What Yeah, the top level has been beaten down for a few years. The multiples have been compressed for a while. There's upward pressure from lower grade copies being hot and then there's been a weird cap at the highest level holding down the higher grade values. A 9.0 would sell for $7-8000, a 9.2 would sell for $9-11000 and then a 9.4 would sell for $15-18000. I would expect a bigger spread between those grades. The 9.4/9.6 ratio was normal (most 9.6s were basically 2x 9.4s) but 9.6s have been stagnant. Right now 9.4 look like they're getting closer to where I would expect them to be.

$22,500!

To the Astro City set... can we add: ASTRO CITY SPECIAL #1

Yeah, this one is going to tickle at what that ComicLink 9.6 sold for a few months ago. That book was such a bargain. Everything else recently has been super-strong.

(wow)

I posted it somewhere, but here it is again. It's a great copy for the grade. I'm really happy with it.

As with the DD #1 thread- I had reason to dig through my boxes today, so I took a quick group shot (the 2nd #9 is the White Mountain copy- there's a huge bindery tear- it's 9.6 otherwise)

I had reason to pull these out of storage today.

The #86 might be another 9.2 but even if it is, it will pay for the lot.

If I were looking for a low grade DD#1, I'd set a budget and cast a wide net.-the boards, eBay, the auction sites. They come up regularly and if you're patient you can find a good deal.

I'm really happy with it. It's an incredibly sharp book. I can't wait to get it in hand.

I'm still trying to figure out what level of insanity I'll need for this one. I'm just hoping it's not 5 years until the next one shows up at 9.4+!
