Hello everyone!
learner and carry the news just now, comes directly from TgCom:
Comics sold
U.S. $ 1.1 million, is the first newspaper in which it appears Spider Man
A private collector bought the price of $ 1.1 million (almost € 800 thousand) A copy of the 15th issue of the comic book Amazing Fantasy, which makes its first appearance in the character of Spider Man to disclose was Stephen Fishler, director of ComicConnect.com site, which was conducted the auction. The original price of the comic strip, published in 1962, was 12 cents.
This is however not the highest price ever paid for a comic. As Fisher says the record is in fact dated March 2010, when the first issue of Action Comics, Superman on the cover (original value 10 cents), was sold for $ 1.5 million.
"Over the past ten years, prices have risen significantly - said Fisher - this cartoon, which appeared for the first time Spider-Man, had become legendary, as the owner, a private collector, had put on the market at a figure that no one thought could never be paid and yet someone did that. "
To understand how the increased prices of some comics, just think that in February 2010, at an auction in Dallas, a rare copy of Detective Comics series, in which Batman made his debut, was sold for 1 million and 75 thousand dollars in 1985, the comic book was bought for $ 2,500 and resold, only in 2000, to 140 thousand.
Not bad, not bad!
Greetings to all
