Following last week’s record-breaking sale of a CGC-certified 9.2 copy of Incredible Hulk #1 at Heritage Auction Galleries for $125,475, Pedigree Comics has just reported another landmark transaction involving the jade giant’s first issue with a sale of a CGC-certified 9.0 copy for $100,000.

The sale was completed on Tuesday, November 24, 2009.

Pedigree Comics President and CEO Doug Schmell negotiated the transaction between the seller and buyer and both sides "are extremely happy," he said.

“This is the nicest 9.0 copy I have ever seen (I’ve seen three of them) and actually rivals the Northland 9.2 copy I used to own in structure and appearance. This copy has off-white to white pages and is the glossiest Hulk #1 I’ve ever seen. Plus, it is perfectly centered, which was a major negotiating point in completing the sale,” he said.

“The buyer made the trip to my office to personally inspect the book and he was very pleased with the its overall appearance. After some back and forth phone calls to the consignor and haggling with the buyer, a price of $100,000 was agreed upon, far eclipsing the previous record for a Hulk #1 in 9.0 of $45,000 set in July, 2006, and just short of the overall record price for an Incredible Hulk #1 reached this past weekend at auction.”
