What's Avengers #1 worth in 2023?
The sale of Avengers #1 CGC NM+ 9.6 in June of 2018 brought $194,000. Of course such a high grade copy is much more rare than the low to mid grade copies. Still, a CGC GD 2.0 copy has gone from $300 in 2004 to $1,700 in 2019. Similarly, CGC FN 6.0 graded books brought $5000 in 2019 versus just $750 in 2004. We recommend picking this book up in any grade making sure to get a clean, unrestored, and complete copy. The popularity of the cinematic Marvel Universe will keep this book in the spotlight for years to come.
Why is this comic book valuable?
After the huge success of the Fantastic Four (link) and the Amazing Spider-man (link) Stan Lee and Jack Kirby would strike gold again with Avengers #1 which showcased the 1st appearance and origin of the Avengers: Ant-Man (Hank Pym), Hulk, Iron Man, Wasp and Thor. This book is valuable not only for its status as a #1 issue but because it assembled some of Marvel’s most popular heroes from other books (Incredible Hulk, Journey Into Mystery, Tales to Astonish, and Tales of Suspense) into one book forming a new super-team.
