wow
it was kept in perfect conditions accidentally
inside a wood cabinet in a cool attic for years
no light or humidity got to the comic

estimate was it going for 2 mil
I'm not used to buying and selling on eBay  
mfsd : 8/25/2014 9:11 am : link
but I'm surprised a book of that value would be sold there..wouldn't a buyer want some visual proof of the quality before dropping a cool $3.2 mil?
it's graded

Ok thanks, makes sense. Pretty cool story, brings back memories of collecting comics as a kid (not that I ever had a comic worth more than a couple hundred)
No one finds that

A tad Excessive? Not exactly the Mona Lisa.....
Well, the Mona Lisa is probably worth in excess of $1 Billion  
Wuphat : 8/25/2014 10:39 am : link
So, in comparison, #3+ Million seems reasonable.

Is there any site available  
jdf : 8/25/2014 2:20 pm : link
for estimating the value of specific comics? I have an old collection that I'd like to sell off but have no idea what it's worth (if anything). Thanks in advance...
ebay is best  
skunk333 : 8/25/2014 3:07 pm : link
But in likelihood they aren't worth much...in the heyday of comics, in the 70 and 80s they were printing hundreds of thousands of issues...
You can also check mycomicshop.com...

Also remember the grade counts...unless you kept it in a bag/board from the day you brought it home its not going to be near mint...so if you look it up and it says $50 for NM, that's not likely what you'll get
lol from .99 to 1 million in 3 minutes

Don't a bunch of these high dollar ebay auctions end up not working

Because the ultimate winner really does not have the cash for the product?

I'd assume you have to qualify to bid.
