A copy of The Walking Dead #1, CGC 9.9, sold on E-bay for $10,100.  Another CGC 9.9 copy sold the same day for $9,800.

Walking Dead #1 CGC 9.9 Highest Grade Copy

The CGC Census currently lists 10 total copies in 9.9 condition (3 are Signature Series copies) and 460 copies in CGC 9.8.

Image Comics has stated the #1 issue only had a print run of 7,300 issues, with the 2nd issue falling even from that total to 5,400 first prints.

We keep these issues on our radar and will be watching to see how this trend plays out.

Incredible Hulk #1 CGC 9.0

This copy of Incredible Hulk #1 CGC 9.0 sold on ComicLink for $120,000.  From the Comiclink website:

A CGC 9.0 example of Incredible Hulk #1 sold on ComicLink for a record $120,000. This 1962 premiere issue that introduced the Hulk and launched one of the largest superhero franchises in history is not only one of the most desirable of the Silver Age Marvel first issues, but also considered to be among the toughest to locate in the higher grades.  It is one of only 14 certified to date in this grade. This is a substantial record for an Incredible Hulk #1 in this condition, and in fact, it is 60% higher than the last 9.0 sale price of $74,000, which was realized by another firm in 2011. Incredible Hulk #1 is notoriously difficult to locate in such high grade, so it was very exciting to have one come available.
