The next-best sale for a standard-ish Absolute Batman comic was the foil San Diego Comic-Con Ashcan from 2024, limited to 500 copies, also graded CGC 9.9, which sold on Offer between the listed price of $8888.88 and $8500. A 9.8 graded cover of that ashcan, signed by both Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, also went for $12,000.
The most ever paid for an Absolute Batman comic was $18,000 for a blank sketch cover of Absolute Batman #18, which Dan Quinatana then painted a unique cover for. But that’s not the kind of comic you could have picked off the shelf for $4.99 in 2024… and of which there were over a hundred thousand copies out there. If you had all those copies, which would have cost you a million dollars, cover price (a quarter of a million, wholesale), and got them all graded at 9.9, it would be worth a cool billion dollars… and even ungraded, you would have seventy-five million in the bank…
