It ain’t nearly the amount of loot you can get for selling Super-Action Guy #1, but the first issue of X-Men recently netted some serious money at auction. The son of a bitch ran for $250,000, which is enough money to buy Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers for at least the next three weeks. At least.
A CGC-certified 9.6 copy of 1963′s The X-Men #1, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, fetched a private-sale record of $250,000 in a deal brokered by Pedigree Comics. That same comic, said to be one of just two certified near-mint copies in existence, went for a then-record $200,000 in March 2011; a 9.8 copy sold at auction in July 2012 for $492,938. The all-time record remains the $2.6 million paid in a 2011 auction for a near-mint copy of Action Comics #1.
