I used to read comic books from time to time so this post makes sense to me. Action Comics issue #1 which is said to have launched Superman was auctioned off on Friday 27th. It's an extremely rare find and to own it would be very prestigious for any nerd/geek or just a comic lover! This is an 'unrestored' version. There are not more than a 100 known copies left of the original 1938 comic which sold for only 10-cents back then. However, to get an 'unrestored 'copy is almost next to impossible as over 80% of the 100 have been restored. This comic that the owner bought for a price of 35 cents is in excellent condition. Now hold your breath as it was expected to fetch a price of $400,000. I'm not sure yet who bought it and for how much but I'm sure it was close to the price above.
