Anyone know what the highest $$ recorded sale was of a Copper/Modern comic?

 

Was the New Mutants #98 CGC 9.9 for $12k (2009) the most anyone's spent on a Copper/Modern slab?

 

Recent Walking Dead #1s in 9.9 are getting close ($10k-$11k), but is anything higher?

Since you are including copper, last year a 9.8 TMNT #1 hit a final hammer price of $22,750 in Pedigree auctions. It turned out to be a 3rd print mislabeled as a 1st by CGC but they (CGC) found him a real 1st print and made good with the buyer (not sure how). But as far as we know the money did change hands and a 1st print #1 was eventually delivered to the buyer so the sale is legit.

Did this actually happen? DUDE. That's awful.

I wonder what the highest copper/modern was on the boards. I'm thinking when someone was dumb enough to buy a SS 10.0 of Revival #1 for $7,500. What a terrible signature.

This film can't be disabled but it's pretty good description of what probably happened.

Guy cracks a TMNT 1 PGX to send to CGC - PGX said first print, guy finds out its third, all on camera.

Obviously! The book that sold was 9.8 CGC not 7.0 PGX.

 

I just watched that video again, and when that guy crys on camera its the best.

CGC would have to cover their butts fast on that. Before a PGX fan makes a website telling the story and links it everywhere. (ie what CGC fans did to PGX's predecessor). You'd think with tough books like the TMNT they would take more care to ensure it never happens.

 

In the end, third party grading's value is only as good as the trust in the graders doing the job.

So TMNT 1 is the record holder and most valuable Copper/Modern book.

 

What is the highest board sale for a single book in Copper/Modern? Any high grade Cerebus 1's sell here? 9.8 Bone #1?

Wow, I would have been furious. Did CGC actually get him a 9.8?
