What's the most you have ever paid for a comic?

[Amin80]

I bought Hulk 181 for about $1,100 - CGC 7.0 and followed it up with Walking Dead #1 CGC 9.6 -$1,200. Now I'm planning to buy both Xmen #1 and avengers #1 which will send me into collection retirement, because these are pretty much the last two which I must have. Now both books would be close to $2000 each, a very scary price which has left me going back and forth on whether I should spend that much.

Well,five hundred dollars in 1989 would equal to what now days?

For 1 book, $300. For my Iron Man #1 Raw copy. However the most I've ever spent on Comics was month before last's ComicLink Auction where I spent $1517 on 44 slabs. :l

Thats a decent price for 44 comics, I'm talking a single comic. Interested to see if I'm insane.

$7K. And I sold it two months later, because I could not justify owning a book that expensive.

[RockMyAmadeus]

$1300....but I've spent several hundred thousand on $1 books.

I think $500 (not counting S&H) I'm not entirely sure.

[oakman29]

I remember when I hit that imaginary line of 500,then I went passed that thousand dollar range.The slope is a slippery one,because now I don't even hesitate with anything up to 4 or 5K.

[miraclemet]

$725.

 

Justified it since it was the same as the previous owner paid for it, its a relatively hard to find GA book, and its the 2nd highest on census behind the Church copy. Felt like the value was pretty well enforced, so I hit the button.

Hi can you guys specify which book it was?

[AlexanderM]

I have bought many in the 2-3k range. Eg. An ih181 9.2 for 2k. A st110 7.0 for 2.1k. A Bb28 3.5 for 1.7k and so on.

[Gotham Kid]

more than $1

[Mr 9.8]

I believe I first past the 500 club with my purchase of the MARVEL Star Wars #1 in 9.8.

Worth it.

[BarryAllen]

I am not even sure anymore...

[budsbundy]

$2500 for FF #1

[violentluke]

Ive bought 2 $800 books too tie for my highest.

cgc 0.5 ASM1 and cgc 6.0 all winners 16

[The-Collector]

more than $1

 

woah woah woah slow down big fella. I am still in the more than .50c category.

 

What is the point of a thread like this? Seems like a pointless measuring exercise to me...

[vader2001]

I spent $365 in 1979 for ASM #1.

[thedude]

$6,500 cash plus a GA book in trade which was a $500 value at the time for my Action Comics #10, time will tell if I did good on that one.
