Toronto Riverdale CollectionDespite an enormous print run, Archie Comics #1 has survived in astonishingly low numbers. Top-tier Archie collectors know this classic debut is considered one of the "black holes" of the collecting community, with an Archie #1 seldom seen again once it's brought into a collection.. Archie Comics #1 is likely the single most difficult major Golden Age key to obtain after Pep Comics #22 (that being where Archie made his first appearance). One of the most demanded and revered of comic book keys, this book never fails to elicit excitement when copies surface at auction.It's hard to overstate just how scarce this comic is, and just how rabid collectors have become for even the most beaten of copies. This handsome 6.0 example, sturdy and supple, presents this American classic for a new generation of fans. ComicConnect has sold two copies of Pep 22 for astonishing, record-breaking numbers, and we have numerous fans of Archie lined up and ready to take a swing at this treasure as well -- we recommend bidding early and bidding aggressively, as we expect this book to blow past its Overstreet value effortlessly.
Overstreet Guide 2013 FN (6.0) value = $19,000.
