Superman Saves The Day!

[Wee67]

A couple facing foreclosure had the day saved by Superman. They were moving out of their foreclosed home when they came across something valuable in the basement- Action Comics #1! The bank says they can now stay in their home until the book is auctioned off.

That's cool.

That's cool - but that story seems kind of sketchy to me. An Action #1 in 8.0 condition must have been tucked away pretty securely for the purpose of keeping at some point - especially on it's own.

Maybe they didn't know exactly how much it was worth - but the story here sounds a little exaggerated to me.

Something sounds fishy. You would not expect to find a Action#1 in a damp basement and have it worth 250,000.00

Heard the story on the radio today. Good for them.

[Nostalgiabuff]

yeah, I don't know, maybe it was stored in between a large stack of magazines that kept it safe from the dampness? if it is all true kudos to them

But knowing the way Metropolis works...those people are gonna get screwed out of some cash. I've seen Metropolis at shows and they just have that shady thing about them. I hope they do well with the comic.

Edited to say that the one Channel 7 showed on the 5 PM newscast was CGC graded 5.0 and not 8.0

Either I already read it here or somewhere else, I had definitely heard this before.
Pretty cool story tho
