Four Pages Of Action Comics #1 Goes For $6350
Can't afford a copy of Action Comics #1 now it's a million dollar topping comic book?
Well, how about just a page of it?
Loose covers and centerfolds have long been desirable to collectors who are looking to restore incomplete copies, but as the market has pushed past the $1 million mark for the likes of Action #1 and Detective Comics #27, some fans are turning to loose pages to be able to afford even a small piece of the most historic comics.
And you don't get much more major than Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman.Five individual Action 1 wraps were available at this auction, with results ranging from $850 for a wrap that did not contain part of the Superman story, up to $6350 for the wrap which contained the iconic scene of Superman hoisting a car above his head which was also immortalized on the cover.
So… who's going to be the first to put together a complete jigsaw Action Comics #1 from all sorts of sources?
