TOP PRICES PAID US COMICS - NON HIGHEST GRADE

Below are some examples of recent sales of US key issue/important comics which catch the eye. They are the best prices achieved for the grade of comic though not the highest grade ever sold (see the Highest Graded list). Very often there is a comparatively low or mid grade of comic but it has achieved an exraordinary price. It is by no means an extensive list but examples of sales that I see in my travels around various auction sites. Enjoy!
