Now this is something that could only happen like once in a life time. A struggling family facing foreclosure has found what every comic book geek in would love to have there hands on for real. A copy of Action Comics No. 1 Now i would would love to have this seein as im one of the biggest superman geeks in the world lol.
It was discovered as the family went about the painful task of packing up a home that had been in since at least the 1950s.Now There are five known CGC-graded copies with a grade above VG (CGC 4.0), with a single issue having the best grade of VF+ (CGC 8.5). so if im right this this will bring it up to six.
Action Comics No. 1 started & ushered in the age of the superhero & is one of the most important pieces of pop culture history.
The couple learned online that ComicConnect.com had brokered the record-breaking sales of Action No. 1 copies for $1 million in February and then $1.5 million one month later.
In a statement released through ComicConnect, the owner of the comic book said the family was still "a little shell shocked" after the unexpected find. "I was so nervous when I realized what it was worth," the owner said. "I know I am very fortunate but I will be greatly relieved when this book finds a new home."
Last Thursday, the couple's copy received a 5.0 VG(Very Good)/Fine rating on a scale of 1 to 10. It could fetch upwards of $250,000 when it goes up for auction on ComicConnect.com from Aug. 27 through Sept. 17.
The couple who live in the South asked to remain anonymous.
