Maybe this has already been discussed here, but this shocker deserves to be posted again.

 

Wolverine #1 (1982) has sold for $15,535 in CGC 10.0

 

Is it even worth pointing out the insanity of this sale? I just wish I was the seller.

 

Here are the GPA top results:

 

 

 

( 10 ) - - (1) $15,535 (1) $15,535 $15,535 May-2009

Thats sick!

I'll take a lowly 9.6 for $40.

The second most graded book out there from a thread you started a while back. That is just scary!

Seriously, I feel like a broken record here, but you can't just write something off as insane or stupid without knowing who the buyer is, why they bought the book, and what 15K means to them. It would be stupid for me, not only financially, but also because I typically don't get off on anything higher than a 9.6, but I can't judge the buyer.

 

I have a buddy who recently consumed a $5000 (according to him) bottle of whine. To each his own, as long as it doesn't cost me anything.

I'd be more impressed if he had been drinking wine

Ok, you scored a point.

 

I guess the word "whine" and comics general have become inextricably linked in my mind, as of late.

I wish I'd bought that 10 when it sold for around $3800....argh.

The Captain makes a lot of sense. If someone like Nickolas Cage wanted his grandson to have the best around, then 15K isn't squat to him. The value of money has everything to do with how much or how little you have, and how you got it or how it comes to you.

I believe that book sold in the May Heritage auction (too lazy to look it up). There were a few CA books that garnered big prices in that auction. There were a run of ASMs in 9.9 that ended at 2k a piece.

Imagine how upset the guy who sold it for $3800 is.

 

Maybe a collection should be taken up for him.

The best around? This is just a Wolverine funny book from 1982. 15,000 wow and as someone already said I wish I was the seller.

Oh, you're naughty.

 

 

At least the guy didn't leave any money on the able by not getting it pressed....

To me paying over $100 for this book is...

 

 

RETARDED!!!!

I hope someone pipes up claiming it used to be a 9.2 that was pressed, and starts crying because the seller owes him $5k on principle.
