	They said it couldn’t be done. They said that no comic book—no matter how rare—would ever sell for $1,000,000. This week, they were proven wrong. And in the midst of a recession, no less! That’s because ComicConnect.com, one of the industry’s leading online auction/consignment sites, just sold an extremely rare, top-condition copy of the world’s most coveted comic book for exactly $1,000,000. That figure is more than three times higher than the prior record-holder, also set by ComicConnect.com. That comic book, of course, is Action Comics #1, which marked the debut of Superman in 1938 and promptly changed the course of pop culture forever. This particular copy has been in a private collection for more than 15 years, and it’s likely to disappear again once it’s been turned over to its new owner. However, ComicConnect.com will allow the media to view it briefly in its New York City showroom (873 Broadway, Suite 201, 212-895-3999). The showroom is also home to ComicConnect.com’s affiliate, Metropolis Collectibles (metropoliscomics.com), the largest vintage comic book dealer in the world. “It’s the Holy Grail of comic books,” says founder Stephen Fishler, one of the leading experts on collectible comics. “Before Action Comics #1, there was no such thing as a superhero or a man who could fly,” notes Fishler, who created the 10-point grading scale which today is used universally to evaluate the condition of comic books. “It’s the single most important event in comic book history,” adds ComicConnect.com co-owner and COO, Vincent Zurzolo. Only about 100 copies Action Comics #1 remain in existence, and of those 100, only two have received a grading of 8.0 (Very Fine) or higher. This particular book is one of them, making it among the rarest of the rare. Up until now, the record-holder was another Action Comics #1, this one with a grading of 6.0. It sold on ComicConnect.com for $317,200 in 2009. According to the Overstreet Price Guide to Comic Books—the industry bible—Action Comics #1 is indisputably the highest-valued comic book of all time. In second place is Detective Comics #27, which marked the first appearance of Batman in 1939. An Action Comics #1 graded 8.0 or higher is priced about 25% higher than a comparable Detective Comics #27. Until last week, some collectors weren’t aware of the existence of this million dollar copy. Fishler, however, knew it well, because 15 years ago, he sold it for $150,000. But why the big jump in price? “High-grade copies are rarely, rarely offered for sale,” explains Zurzolo. “When they do come on the market, you can expect to see a big leap in value.” “I knew that someday, there would be a seven figure comic book sale, and I dreamed of being part of that historic moment. But I didn’t think it would happen so soon, particularly given the current state of the economy.” Imagine: back in 1938, this very comic book sold for ten cents, its sole purpose to entertain a child. 72 years later, some very fortunate adult is willing to spend $1,000,000 for the privilege of owning it—something most experts believed would never happen. “Is it worth it?” says Fishler. “Absolutely. There is nothing else like it.”

	Moi, j'irais le brûler dans une convention de comics.

Personnellement, étant millionnaire, je préférerais rester en vie.

	et en plus gradé... je suis pas plus étonné que ca du prix en fait...

question de novice

ça veut dire quoi gradé ?

[gorlab]

Le comics a été gradé et scellé par CGC pour évaluer son état.

[persepolis]

ca fait quand même moins que 2 fois le salaire de Domenech .

[archerhawke]

pas le salaire, juste la prime pour s'être superbement qualifié en coupe du monde je crois oO

d'allieurs lors de la future élimination de la France en cm et pour tout ce qu'il a apporté à l'équipe de france, la FFF réfléchis à le payer sa prime avec un comics de lady gaga dédicacé!

[Fredeur]

Euh, le trollage débile sur Domenech et l'équipe de France, c'est déjà fatiguant dans le topic foot, mais si en plus ça se propage sur d'autres topics, ça ne va pas le faire. :hum2:

[CYRIL]

[scarletneedle]

De toute façon, même si Superman vaut 1 million, il est toujours très loin de Steve Austin...

[scarletneedle]

Le record n'aura pas tenu longtemps...

Un Detective Comics #27 a été vendu pour $1,075,500.

Des détails : ici.
