What would you do if you learned a family member has been keeping a rare collection hidden and ended up inheriting it? I am not sure what I would do and maybe one day I will get that rare opportunity. In a recent article in USA Today, a family had the opportunity to learn that a great uncle had one of the greatest collections tucked away in his basement from Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27, and Captain America #2. The collection actually had 44 of the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide's top 100 issues from comics' golden age. This amazing find brought in $3.5 million to auction!
What makes this find so amazing is that the comics managed to remain preserved in incredible shape in the basement. I could only imagine that this would not be possible in California or Florida with the humidity or moisture.
