A CGC certified Incredible Hulk #1 in 9.0 sold for a record price of $100,000. The sale, reported by Pedigree Comics, Inc. President and CEO Doug Schmell, was just completed on Tuesday, November 24th. Mr. Schmell negotiated the transaction between the seller and buyer and both sides "are extremely happy". Mr Schmell continued: "This is the nicest 9.0 copy I have ever seen (I've seen three of them) and actually rivals the Northland 9.2 copy I used to own in structure and appearance. This copy has off-white to white pages and is the glossiest Hulk #1 I've ever seen. Plus, it is perfectly centered, which was a major negotiating point in completing the sale. The buyer made the trip to my office to persoanlly inspect the book and he was very pleased with the book's overall appearance. After some back and forth phone calls to the consignor and haggling with the buyer, a price of $100,000 was agreed upon, far eclipsing the previous reord for a Hulk #1 in 9.0 of $45,000 set in July, 2006 and just short of the overall record price for an Incredible Hulk #1 ($125,475 in 9.2) reached this past weekend at auction".
