Well .. if you did, you would be rich right now!
A pristine copy of “Superman” No. 1 sold for $9.12 million at Heritage Auctions on Thursday, making it the most expensive comic book ever sold at auction.
The closing price smashed the record previously set by another Superman-related comic, a copy of “Action Comics” No. 1, which sold for $6 million through Heritage Auctions in 2024.
The first issue of “Superman” was among a small trove of comic books found by three brothers in Northern California who were sorting through their late mother’s belongings.
The collection had been tucked under a pile of old newspapers and cobwebs in the attic of their family home, according to a press release from Heritage Auctions.
Even more interesting, the comic was found in a box in an attic by three brothers in northern California, as they cleared out the house of their mother after her death. The trio have said their mom spoke of having original copies of comic books from the 1930s but couldn’t remember where and it was dismissed as a family legend.
A legend no more!!
The family has opted not to have their name revealed.. but we can only say if this family had someone smart enough to preserve a copy of SUPERMAN 1 what other amazing things exist in that amazing attic!
