Here is an article talking about the auction. The only other Action Comics No. 1 with a CGC rating of 9.0 sold for $2.16 million in 2011. The seller was actor Nicholas Cage.

Well, the article does state that the Cage copy had "cream colored" to "off-white" pages and that the copy currently up for auction has "pure" white pages.
So I guess this one could be cracked out in hopes being graded a 10. ![]() Last edited by Bored5000; 08-16-2014 at 08:23 PM. |

First time I've ever seen an auction on eBay where a starting price is .99 and the first bid is $1,000,000.00 lol. Wow.
By the way there was a previous post which said prices for vintage comic books have really been on the rise. Not true. Prices of certain books from certain titles in high grade have been rising but in general the overall comic book market is lukewarm at best... |

The auction is open only to pre-approved bidders. The auction also says that the seller reserves the right to request a refundable deposit or proof of ability to pay before being allowed to bid.

I'll give the seller a mountain of credit for the effort put into the listing. An item like this could rest upon itself, but they really made it interesting. The comic style description is pretty freaking cool, and how interesting would it be if the top sporting auction houses made videos for their main 1-3 items like provided in this case?
Edited to add: Donating a portion of the proceeds to charity is another plus.
