Superman #1, CGC 5.0, Sells for $121,000!

At ComicLink's August auction, records fell as precious, coveted comics sold for more than ever. With the blockbuster success of comics-based movies like Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man, and the Hulk, the comics medium is in resurgence. Collectors are paying top dollar for those rare, quality comics, and a savvy seller can make a huge profit by selling the right book at the right time. I have compiled a short list of amazing books selling for amazing prices. To view the complete list from ComicLink, click here.

Spider-Man/Ditko 7.5" x 6" Sketch, by Steve Ditko: $31,500
Hulk #4 Panel Page, Jack Kirby Art: $22,055
Hulk #1, Sold in CGC 8.5: $61,000
Batman #6, Sold in CGC 9.4: $16,000

If you have a comment, advice, or comics to sell, blog about it and tell the world!

McFarlane Toys "The Godfather" 6" Figure

Thegrindhouse's collection features a figurine of Marlon Brando as the Godfather. This is a very interesting toy because The Godfather is such a classic movie. Brando's role as Don Corleone granted him many awards, as well as gave the film a place at the top of scores of "Best Film" lists. The exceptional detail of the figurine, combined with the importance of the movie in film history, make this piece a true collectors item. If you haven't seen the movie, you should definitely check it out.
