Anyone know what this 6.5 sold for?

Is 130point.com still down? I tried it the other day, and it said they were debugging, and to try their new one made for cards

I saw the price on that CGC 9.4 Albedo #3 as "$13.00" instead of "513.00" and my heart skipped a beat. I would have paid at least $13.50.

Any guesses as to where this copy of Cerebus 1 will finish up at the Heritage weekend auction this Sunday:  

https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/cerebus-the-aardvark-1-aardvark-vanahem-1977-cgc-vf-80-white-pages/a/122214-11300.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#

Already sitting at $5,760 with the BP juice in there which is miles ahead of the $1,320 that the last CGC 8.0 graded copy managed to fetched at HA back in September of 2019.  My bet is that it will also blow right past the $7,200 price point that the CGC 7.5 graded copy managed to fetched at HA back only a few short months ago in December of 2021.  

Will definitely be interesting to watch where it ends up by the time it's all said and done.

Yes, looks like the hammer was hit at $6,800 with the final price then coming in at $8,160 including the 20% BP juice.  

I was actually expecting it to go a bit higher than that considering that they had just auctioned off a slightly lower CGC 7.5 graded copy off for $7,200 just a few short months earlier in December of 2021.  Then, I took a closer look at both copies and from both the front and back cover scans, it woud appear from a strict visual POV that the CGC 7.5 graded copy presents noticeably nicer than the CGC 8.0 graded copy.

Yup- there’s a self-published #1, which is easy to find in high grade due to the Bros. holding onto a bunch of them and selling them a few years ago. 
 

The Fantagraphics (black cover) version has 5 printings. More copies overall, but tougher to find nice copies of.

yes, and fortunately later printings of the regular #1 are easy to distinguish, as they all have different cover prices. So you don't have to open them up to discover what you've got.

1st $2.95

2nd $3.50

3rd $3.95

5th $4.95

The fourth print doesn't actually exist, as far as I can tell.

Yup! That's right. The 5th printing is actually the 4th; it's just misstated on the inside cover. 

[Aman619]

Thanx guys. Great book! I bought and read em all… actually just the Jaime stories. Beto style didn’t do it for me. 

[Ron C.]

Here are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th printings. That is correct, there was no 4th printing.

Is it they finally said the black and white cover was the first print?

These are the Fantagraphics printings starting in 1982. Los Bros Hernandez self published the B&W #1 a year earlier (1981).
