The world perked up when a 9.0 copy of Action Comics #1 sold for $3.2 million on eBay the other day. The real news is buried in Chuck Rozanski’s helpful weekly Mile High Comics newsletter:
It might surprise you to know that my reaction to that sale was that it was no big deal, as it was only to be expected. That’s because I was already aware that the owner of the ACTION COMICS #1 copy from the Mile High Collection (which I sold in 1982…) reportedly turned down an offer of $5,000,000 cash, over three years ago. That Mile High copy of ACTION COMICS #1 has never been professionally graded, but having looked at it many times, I believe that it would grade significantly better than the copy that sold over the weekend.
