Poor Little Rich Kids    I remember a time when comic books were considered a waste of time. Where parents routinely trashed our books when we were at school or otherwise weren't looking, and by the time we noticed it was far too late. (Shivering) Sorry..., my therapist says that I should take it easy with those memories.    During the Las Vegas Comic Con (October, 2003), Diamond Distributions very own Stephen A. Geppi, offered $1 miilion for a near mint condition copy of the rare Action Comics #1. Well, sorry Stephen,  but if you're still interested in that NM copy you're going to have to pony up a lot more than a paltry million for it, because on February 22, 2010, a CGC (ugh!) 8.0 graded copy sold at a ComicConnect auction for a tidy $1 million dollars. That's right, $1 million dollars. Shattering the previous record of $317,000 held also by an Action Comics #1 for about a year, and the new record holder is essentially in Very Fine Condition, not quite the NM that Geppi wants.    Now if that wasn't enough to stir the waters, approximately a week later a Detective Comics #27 (also an 8.0 grade) sold at a Dallas Auction for $1,075,500, setting a new record.     So now, what does a poor little rich boy do for his comic "immortality" fix??? What else, but open the purse strings a little wider. I'm just curious as to how this might skewer the market as people are priced out of the Golden Age Collections they pined for they may settle for Silver Age keys which, in turn, may cause them to see inflated prices as well. Hmmmm, let's see how far this ripples.     Well, it's time for me to remind Mom and Dad of just what they threw out. In the meantime, feel free to write to us at  info@northsidecomics.com  and let us know what "crazy" prices you see.
