Spider-Man debut edition comic fetches $454,100 at auction
How much could you spend for a rare comic of your favorite superhero, Spider-Man? Probably, not a whopping $400,000. But an anonymous comics collector has actually purchased Spider-Man debut edition comic for a record $454,100 dollars. It is considered to be the highest price collected at public auction for a Spider-Man comic (as before this, near-mint copy of the same comic reportedly fetched $1.1 million in a private sale in 2011).
The rare copy of Marvel’s Amazing Fantasy #15, featuring the debut of Spider-Man in 1962, has been auctioned at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas by 60-year-old Walter Yakaboski from Long Island, New York. He purchased the first appearance of Spider-Man in form of a comic book back in 1980 for $1,200. Although his mother thought he was wasting all the hard-earned money, but for Yakoboski the near-mint graded copy was a source of good investment.
Stupid needless meaningless crap people spend millions on.
ReplyDeleteIf he has that much money to blow, put it to good use.
Greed and selfishness can be really ugly.
Oh, Mom, why oh why did you throw away my comics and baseball cards?
