A CGC 9.2 Action Comics #1 Ashcan went for $204,000 at Heritage Auctions.

The recent HA Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction in Dallas, Texas had a few sales of note.  The hammer dropped on the CGC 9.2 Action Comics #1 Ashcan at $204,000 which is the highest priced realized for one of the early DC Comics ashcans (see "Never-Before-Auctioned 'Action Comics' #1 Ashcan Hits the Block at Heritage").  This copy is the highest grade Action Comics #1 known, and the realized price is likely to set the market for this particular ashcan for the near future.

In addition to the ashcan, there were a few other highlights.  A CGC 9.6 Daredevil #1 with White Pages sold for $150,000 which is a record for that particular book in 9.6.  There are 28 copies of this book in a 9.6 grade with only two graded higher, and a similar copy with off-white pages sold at HA in January for $102,000.  On the comic art side of the auction, the original interior art for Daredevil #1's second page, that features a panel which depicts the first appearance of Daredevil, sold for $288,000.  Also, the original art for Simon Bisley's Lobo #1 cover sold for $192,000 and Dave Stevens' Alien Worlds #2 cover went for $120,000.
