CGC 9.8 Avengers #2 Sells for $70,000
A CGC-certified copy of The Avengers #2 graded 9.8 sold for an incredible $70,000 on PedigreeComics.com. The issue, which features the second appearance of the Avengers, the departure of the Hulk from the team, and the first appearance of the Space Phantom, is cover dated November 1963.
This copy is tied with the Curator pedigree copy as the highest-graded and best-known example of the issue, the only two 9.8s awarded by CGC out of almost 500 copies submitted to date. It has “bone white” pages, and remarkable ink reflectivity and overall structure. It appears it had never been read or opened.
The book was listed in the “New Arrivals” section of the Pedigree site on Thursday night, September 3, 2009, and sold within minutes.
“The book was on consignment and the seller was ecstatic with the sales price. The buyer is a high-grade Marvel collector who is trying to put together the best possible CGC-certified runs of all the major Silver Age and Bronze Age titles,” said Doug Schmell, owner of Pedigree Comics.
“The Avengers is still the hottest Silver Age title on the CGC-certified market. There have been numerous record sales set over the course of 2008 and 2009, including a bunch from Pedigree’s last few Grand Auctions, culminating with the sale of a 9.6 copy of Avengers #4 for $64,000. With the anticipation of the Avengers motion picture growing, look for many more record sales on all Avengers issues in the months to come,” he said. In a related sale, a 9.4 copy of Avengers #2 sold the following morning for $9,250, similarly in the New Arrivals section.
If you have any Avengers or other Silver Age and Bronze Age comics to consign or sell, Pedigree Comics welcomes your business.
“We specialize in ultra high grade (9.4 and higher) CGC-certified Marvels from the 1960s and 70s and aggressively promote our comic book internet-based business,” he said.
