“Superman saved the day.”
Great story!
To: KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
Superman does save the day. But the moral of the story is don’t use your house as a piggy bank.
To: KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
Love reading stories like this. One comic saves a house!

The quality was rated 5.0 VG(Very Good)/Fine on a scale of 1 to 10. The estimated auction value is $250,000. So it's not in mint condition, but still a nice chunk of change.
Since it is a collectible they have to pay the full income tax on it instead of the lower capital gains rate. Good thing they can sell it this year before they get the Obama tax increase.

(Gun control was originally to protect Klansmen from their victims. The basic reason hasn't changed.)

Funny thing is that it wasn’t all that long ago that Action #1 listed for about $5,000. That’s it, five grand. Of course, that was before the “greed” of the 80s, back when the listed price of the cars on “The Price is Right” was under $3,000, so, yeah, it was a while ago.

Capital gains tax and “unpaid inheritance tax” will take care of the money they receive.

Unless you're Nicholas Cage and have a lot of valuable comics.

And even in the more recent era...
“The copies of Action Comic No. 1 that sold for $1 million and $1.5 million earlier this year had been purchased for about $140,000 each more than a decade ago.”

Personally, I hope this story hits all the papers and some nice philanthropist bids up the price of this issue and the family gets $500,000 for their comic, or maybe the bank can buy it.
I know that’s Pollyanna-ish, but these folks needed a little miracle. A priest once told me to pray for little miracles because God likes to hear from us. It works. He said to pray for parking spaces — you’d be surprised how often that works.
Last Christmas I had no money for my property taxes and I really didn’t know what I was going to do. I was looking around for things to sell, and an unexpected check came in the mail that was exactly enough to cover the 1st installment. Also, for another miracle, the 2nd installment showwed up on time too.

Shazam!!! Superman to the rescue or was that Capt. Marvel??

I’m thinking a time traveler probably dropped it off in the basement. It’s somehow important to the entire space-time continuum for that family to stay in that house.
