A family was packing up as a foreclosure loomed in the not to distant future. The home had been in the family since at least the 1950’s. While going through the basement they find 8 or 9 comic books.
One happened to be the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics #1. That issue has sold for upwards if $1.5 million but the article guesses that their copy could go for $250,000. I am guessing it wasn’t in great condition if they didn’t even know it existed.
