It’s known as the Holy Grail of comic books, Superman, Action Comic, No. 1 and it was sitting under the noses of a finically troubled family.
After exhausting all options to save their home from foreclosure a Southern family was sadly packing up the home that had been in the family since the 1950s when they stumbled on a super rare Superman comic book worth a whopping $1.5 million.
The family, who asked to remain anonymous, found a box containing 10 comic books in the basement, they jumped on the internet to see if they were worth anything, most were worth between $15 and $30, so the family discussed selling the comic books to get enough money to buy packing boxes, that is until they looked up the last one in the box, a pristine 1938 copy of the Man of Steel hoisting a car over his head, that’s when the internet results came up, revealing the comic was worth a mint.
The lucky ducks sent text picture of the comic to a collectibles broker who confirmed the worth and told the family he had recently sold a copy for $1.5 million. The family literally had to get the broker on the phone with the bank in order to halt the foreclosure.
