Forgotten Comic Books in the Basement
Old Comics, New Fortune
In 2011, a family cleaning out their late grandfather’s basement stumbled upon a box of old comic books. Initially dismissed as childhood memorabilia, these comics included the first issue of “Action Comics,” featuring the debut of Superman. This iconic comic book would later change their lives.
Heroic Returns
This comic, originally sold for 10 cents in 1938, was later auctioned for over $2 million. The once-forgotten basement stash turned out to be a heroic return on investment. The family’s unexpected windfall from these old comics highlights the potential value hidden in long-forgotten items.
