Tiger #1 sells for a roarsome sum

The latest compal comics (here) saw a copy of the first issue of Tiger reach a truly breathtaking £2,200 (hammer price)

The description of the lot (here) describes the lot thus...

Lot # 74:

Tiger No 1 (1954)
First Roy of the Rovers by Stewart Colwyn (Frank S. Pepper)
Bright cover with migrating rust marks, two 1" tears to front cover margin, four 1" tears to back cover margins [vg/fn]
£60-80

Here's the screenshot showing the hammer price...

So that (reasonable estimate) was comprehensively smashed - I can't believe the price. I don't have notes on prices realised for key British #1's but this must rank as one of the highest prices paid for a post-war British comic. Astonishing.
