Spawn #1 Value? About $60-70 in CGC 9.8

Spawn #1 Value? About $60-70 in CGC 9.8

Spawn #1 Value?

Mint condition 1st printing.

Editor's reply: Spawn #1 (click for current eBay listings) is not a bad comic, considering it was released in 1992.

It's worth $60-70 in CGC 9.8, but it will cost you $30 to have it certified and slabbed!

It's one that is unlikely to increase in value in future years, because so many were printed. There are likely tens of thousands of these sitting in warehouses.

My son has the first additions of Spawn. The first edition the owner of the shop bagged it for him and said to leave it in plastic bag to retain its value. There are additions out there in plastic never handled except with gloves have a nice day everybody.

by: Patrick

Some of you are letting your emotions for the artist influence your logic and your understanding of economics. I just but a mintfor $29 on ebay and I get get it for less at a local shop. Supply and demand dictate price and some are holding thousands off the market due to the enormous printing. I don't care whatc omic you are talking about - even first Captain Marvel, if they find 1,000,000 of those presevred perfectly in a wharehouse, the price drops like a rock if all offered.

Todd mcfarlane Is a great entrepreneur and most successful.To people growing up in the 90's he's like a modern stan lee. There will be much more to come he revolutionized the art style and highest net worth of any comic artist to boot and It has the potential to be worth even more. see I have opinion too.

by: Anonymous

I acquired a first issue black and white copy years ago. I believe they were issued later and were sent only to limited comic book dealers in appreciation for their support. The number that was printed is at most speculation and I have never found a concrete number. Anyone who could share more light on this would be greatly appreciated.

No judgment on the quality of the art or the storytelling. But the simple fact is that Spawn #1 not in a CGC holder sells for between $5 and $40, rarely more.

CGC 9.8: last sale $85

CGC 9.6: last sale $46

CGC 9.4: last sale $33

Newsstand editions definitely sell for much more.

CGC 9.8 newsstand: last sale $367

CGC 9.6 newsstand: last sale $205

CGC 9.4 newsstand: last sale $74

My spider sense tells me that there are more newsstand editions out there than people believe. There is a reason this book hasn't gone berserk with newsstand prices like others have.

Hundreds of thousands of copies are still stockpiled in warehouses.

It's never going to rival New Mutants #98 for prices.

starstarstarstar 		Realistic about Spawn #1
by: DB

The nonsense here on this commentary on Spawn #1 is ridiculous. Its like the people commenting have no idea or clue of any kind whatsoever of how comics can go up in value and why they do. Yes, sheer number count is a huge consideration. But bottom line it Spawn was THE Todd McFarland invention of a lifetime. Its still out there today. They made a pretty good movie based on it, its a hugely popular comic just based on its place in comic book history alone. If you don't know enough about Todd McFarland to understand what I'm talking about, that's your fault not mine. If you want to know what issue one sells for, don't listen to these oafs here. GO to Ebay and find out what they actually do sell for. Why do such ridiculous people come to places like this and spread shit. Its unreal.

starstarstarstarstar 		newsstand
by: Mike

People who are *still* saying newsstand Spawns are virtually abundant need to get a grip on the market.

Spawn was not prolific at the newsstand (lol). I remember the vanishing selection at grocery stores of the time. People bought Image comics from shops and mail order.

Reports that newsstands comprise 1-2% of the print volume are not incredible. And no one knows how many got recycled in 1992. If you think that stated disproportion doesn't correlate to the price difference, remember that the distinction is actually trivial (lol) and not many people place value on it.

Even if there are tens of thousands of Spawn #1s and newsstands "in warehouses", when are we supposed to expect those who have been keeping them in inventory for 27 YEARS to make them available?

When should this belief expire?

by: Anonymous

There were actually less UPC code issues made than the ones without. The UPC coded ones were newsstand issues that had smaller print runs than the direct editions.

by: Anonymous

The UPC issue is NOT rare. There were more UPC issues than not. They went out to grocery store racks and gas station racks. They are still first printing, but were printed a few days later than the book store editions in order to compare first sales with future demand. There were actually MORE printed with the bar codes than not.

by: Anonymous

In case anyone still checks this, there is a newsstand edition with a UPC, but it accounted for less than like 1% of sales, so its really rare. It is worth way more than just a regular #1.

by: ChaoticAg3nt

Spawn#1 is only worth around 8 to 9 bucks american. It is no where near 100 bucks. Even graded it can be bought for 40 bucks. It was a mass produced comic that will probably never gain any real value. Good story though.

If you don't know the difference between a newsstand copy and a reprint you shouldn't be giving advice. The one with the barcode is actually rarer and worth more. The reprints were marked "image firsts" and were noticeably different.
