This is the Most Expensive Comic Book Ever

A copy of Action Comics #1, aka the comic that introduced Superman to the world, has sold for a whopping $3.2 million on eBay.

The white-paged copy received a grade of 9.0 from the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), and is currently regarded as the best graded copy of the comic in the world. Its final selling price also makes it the most expensive comic book in the world, beating the previous record – a copy of the same comic with the same grade but with off-white pages – set in 2011. Notably and hilariously, that copy was once owned by Nicholas Cage.
