It is sometimes very interesting how much people will pay for rare items. One example of this came this week when an unidentified man paid a record one million dollars for a No 1 Action Comic book featuring Superman on the cover. The magazine is from 1938 and cost 10 cents when it was new.
The seller of the magazine has also remained anonymous. The sale took place on an auction site called ComicConnect.com. The book was worth so much because its condition was rated an 8. That means “Very Fine”. The previous record for a comic book sale was $317,000.
