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.
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.”
