The Ten Most Expensive Comic Books at New York Comic Con

From Digg via io9:
"If our list of the ten most expensive comic books at the New York Comic Con is any indication, the high-end comic book market hasn't yet experienced any fallout from the Financiapocalypse."

I love doing this at conventions. I love to look at the really high end gold and silver age books just for the heck of it. The thing that really stands out about this list (okay...it doesn't stand out at all, in fact, it's exactly what you'd expect)...and that's every comic in this list is CGC. I mean, just look at how that's affected the comic book market. Naturally any list of "most expensive" would wind up being high number, graded, slabbed, books, but it just goes to show you. ALL of those book are being slabbed. Every single one of them. There is practically no relatively high end gold or silver available today that hasn't already been signed, sealed, and delivered. I guess what I'm saying is, there's really no middle ground, it appears, when it comes to wading into the gold and silver age markets. Especially if you even *whiff* around keys. Amazing stuff, that list.
