Owner's Description

Issue #1 features the Origin and first appearance of Daredevil, (Matt Murdock). It also features the first appearance of sidekicks, Karen Page and Foggy Nelson. Our book is a very solid 9.6 of Daredevil’s entry into the Marvel universe. As such, it is tied for second highest graded trailing a pair of 9.8s, one of which sold in March 2021 for $250,000, which now looks like a relative bargain-if something that initially cost 12 cents could ever be considered a bargain at over a million times face value LOL.

For many years, Daredevil #1s in 9.6 could be acquired for $30,000-$40,000, but they have skyrocketed in value since COVID with sales topping out at as much as $150,000. Recent sales have come down a bit, so it will be interesting to see whether that decline will continue or is just a pause is the market.

We acquired our book in the 10/25/2011 CL Auction.*

2024 Update: In April last year, CGC gave a third Issue #1 a 9.8, which book hit the market in April 2024 selling for $360,000. I actually thought that was too much for an OW/W book, but as we have seen, keys like that can fluctuate wildly in value as the number of people who are interested in comics and can afford prices like that is not a deep pool. And most of those type people seem to prefer GA books or original art. My guess is that is pretty much top of the market, at least for now.
