A family facing foreclosure found the collateral they needed right in
their own basement, with the discovery of an Action Comics #1 —
Superman’s debut, Asylum reported. The comic book was found when the
family began to pack up their home — which they owned since the 1950s
— due to a bank’s foreclosure proceedings. They then contacted Stephen
Fishler, co-owner of New York’s ComicConnect and Metropolis
Collectibles. The comic book will go on display this weekend at the
Comic-Con in San Diego, where it will be officially graded. Fishler
predicts it will get over $250,000 when it sells at auction. The family
wanted to remain anonymous but they spoke to Asylum through Fishler,
saying they were “shell-shocked” when they found it. [Asylum]
