Hey, buddy: Have a few million to spare?
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A rare copy of the first Superman comic will be put up for auction online on Friday and bids could soar as high as the “man of steel,” experts say.
“Action Comics #1,” published in June 1938, is considered by collectible experts to be the world’s most valuable comic book and is valued at about $126,000.
“It’s the Holy Grail of comic books,” said comic expert Stephen Fishler, who created the 10-point grading scale that has become the industry standard for evaluating comic books.
“This is the one that started it all. There was no such thing as a super hero before it. No flying man. Comics weren’t even that popular. It’s the single most important event in comic book history,” he said.
If some millionaire celebrities get into a bidding war, egos may take over and you might see this thing go for a million or more.
My take?
Feh. I bought the “Famous First Edition” back in 1974. Story is the same.
