Action Comics #1 at $1.3M with 4 days to go

[Sowth]

Sorry you couldn't snag it Rick, and silly me for assuming there wasn't anyone here bidding on it

Finished at $2,161,000.

It is quite amazing how quickly this book broke the $2M barrier, considering it took 60 odd years to break $1M. With some perspective though we are talking about the best of the best here, there are a billion other books out there not worth a penny, I've found lots of those

Here's an interesting article on the tale of the comic.

Wow...Cage bought it for "only" $150K back in 97...what an awesome investment and profit...

When I first started actively "collecting" comics and reading the Overstreet Guide back in the late 70s "Action Comics" #1 wasn't even the top book...it was "Marvel Comics" #1 coming in at $10,000.
