Some of these cartoon books are hot as can be. Archie 1, Pep 22, Peanuts 1, Little Dot 1, Richie RIch 1, Scooby Doo 1.

 

Some are pretty lukewarm for what they are

Richie Rich was the first title I collected as a kid. Pretty amazing price!

The 1953 United Features Syndicate (one-shot) No. 1 was the first comic devoted to Peanuts. Pretty tough book whose price has been rising. Census topper is just an 8.5.

they got the sport wrong... should be playing soccer in front of the net!

[KirbyJack]

You mean Hockey, of course.

[Aman619]

Haha. Yup..

that cover always cracks me up. I don't know if it was intentional on the part of the artist but as soon as she swings she will clock Charlie in the head

Yes, an absolutely outlandish price from my point of view, especially considering that this is not even his first appearance in comics.

 

From comparing the scans, it actually looks like Magik's copy which only sold for $19K last summer appears to be a superior copy not only in terms of the PQ for this almost $50K copy. The QP on the $19K copy looks nicer in terms of the top edge centering, and in fact nicer than all of the other 9.6 copies on Heritage's archive which all went for over $20K. The $19K copy from last summer sure seems to be a sharper and brighter copy.

 

All I can say is that whoever was smart enough to have picked up the 9.6 copy graded by the other company must be quite happy right now.

Thanks. I was wondering what that copy sold for.

Interesting. As a kid I found Richie Rich to be the single least interesting Harvey character. Oh well. To each his own.

Interesting. Twas the bottom group that was way up high in Overstreet's hierarchy of values through the seventies and well into the eighties. I wonder what caused the shift.
