The world’s only close to pristine copy of “Amazing Fantasy #15” has been sold for a record amount.
The issue, featuring the first appearance of Spider-Man, sold for $1.1 million to an unnamed private collector. According to Bleeding Cool, the issue was rated at 9.6.
The amount the issue sold for easily topped what an issue graded at 9.4 sold for a couple of years ago. That one went for $280,000.
No word yet on the identity of the collector. But odds are he or she will have to purchase a reprint to read the story. Breaking the seal on the comic and reading it would likely lower the value.
