What's Archie Comics #1 worth in 2024?
Archie #1 in mint condition has yet to be discovered but if a CGC NM+ 9.6 copy came up for sale, we think it could sell for $300,000 to $400,000. The highest graded copy known is aCGC 8.5 that sold for $167,000 in 2011 setting a record for a non-super hero comic. That copy could easily bring $200,000 or more in today’s market. By any standard this is a rare book. A low grade copy (CGC VG 4.0) sold for $9,000 in 2008. That same grade sold for $35,000 in March of 2018. Now that is what we call a good return on an investment. If this is the book you are looking for and you happen to find one, especially unrestored and complete, you simply have to get it whatever the condition. If this is the book you have things are definitely looking up!
Why is this comic book valuable?
Following the success of Archie in Pep Comics, MLJ Magazines decided to change their name to Archie Publications and add a new series - Archie Comics in 1942. Archie Comics featured Archie Andrews as well as Veronica Lodge and Jughead Jones. Archie Comics #1 is the first issue in this popular, long running title.
