Wayne-Tec Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Is the $1,095,000 (so far) for the Tec #27 the highest price ever realized for any book graded 7.0 or under? Betty-Bates 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Other potential contenders (Archie 1, Detective 1, Planet 1, Startling 49, WDC&S 1) have yet to break $200K. The only one that could break $500K in the next five years or so, I think, would be a really really high grade Detective 1, and I don't know if such a comic exists. I got a 8.0.

The famous Action 9.0 started as an 8.0, so I guess everything is an illusion! Where is tth2 and his love for the hobby quote? Link to post Share on other sites

Where is tth2 and his love for the hobby quote? Yes, 7.5 purple to 5.5 blue. That is what I am saying but it was more likely CCS instead of Copperfield.

Sounds a lot better than the Bat 1 you just got me. Dealers like this should always be outed. And did no one caller for graders notes to check on the cover cleaning?

I can't believe there are as many as 6 people willing to spend more than $1m on a comic! Absolutely true, as I simply can't believe there would be any collector in the world who's willing to spend even $50K on a comic book.

I assume it was an Action 1, and I imagine it was an Action 1 that’s always broken that next barrier first. But yeah, I’m sure the $50K mark was exceeded back in the 70’s.

I believe it was a D27 in 1990 (Allentown I think) sold by Metro to the Dentist. The highest price paid in the 1970s was $17.5K by Geppi for a MC 1. As context, the first comic to break $1K was an Action 1 bought by Bruce Hamilton in 1973.
