It’s a dream of instant wealth that connects with many people today; accidentally stumbling upon a priceless collectible. In 2025, three adult siblings were cleaning out the attic of their late mother’s house. They found an old cardboard box under a pile of newspapers. Inside that old cardboard box was a priceless comic book worth more than your car.
The brothers had stumbled upon a nearly pristine 9.0 CGC grade copy of Action Comics #1 from 1938, the first appearance of Superman. The comic sold at auction for $9.12 million in November 2025.
