Transformers 1 Comic Sells for a Record $44,000
Sunday, February 28th, 2021 10:57pm CST Do you have a Transformers 1 comic at home? I m referring to the original Marvel comic, from 1984 with the picture of Optimus Prime being as big as Godzilla. Well, if you do, it might be worth a whopping $44 000. That is the price the comic got on auction the other day over at comiclink.com.
It was a graded comic (meaning a third party company graded it and put it in a plastic case) with a grade of 9.9. There are 3 comics out there with the same grade at the moment but probably more that look just as good, not yet graded, given this is not a rare comic in the least. If your copy looks great, maybe sending it in for grading at CGC could get you a similar grade and thus the similar payday.
