Bronty Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 For the record I think the price is a little insane and won't hold up over time, and that's coming from a fan of nintendo material as a collectible. But I have to think that's a copper age record for anything that isn't TMNT 1? Nintendo Power #1 (Nintendo of America, Inc., 1988) [Newsstand Edition] CGC 9.8 NM/MT White Pages.... Auction 7307 | Lot: 28080 | Apr 20, 2023 Sold For: $108,000.00 onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valiantman Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Interesting... mainly because it's not a comic or even a "comic magazine"... how many non-comic magazines sell for $100,000+? I think CGC 9.4 Playboy #1 (1953) might be the only one. Sports Illustrated #1 (1954) is a "warehouse book", so they're easy to grab in CGC 9.8 under $5,000. Are any other non-comic magazines even $25,000? Edited April 21, 2023 by valiantman onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'm curious what in the long run, this will do to lower grades... It's not even the sample copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to think of any Marvel mag, warren mag, anything that would come close to 100k besides TMNT. Edited April 22, 2023 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 High Times CGC 5.5 sold for $4,500 in 2021 makes me wonder what a Really HIGH grade would fetch. Here is a quick list I pulled from an older internet article. Although several of these are either out of date (price wise) as here is the current GPA on a CGC 9.4 Playboy #1 First Print As for Life and Time as well as National Geographic there are a few semi valuable issues , but a lot of these "most valuable " are in the thousands not even tens of thousands.

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 It is also worth mentioning that V1 1888 #1 National Geographic has sold as high as $100,000 however now the average sale is around $7k - $9k. That said if a Extremely High Grade came to market it has potential to be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
