How high will it go?

by @ 8:48 pm. Filed under comic books, eBay, history


Following a link on front page of eBay I came across this item (click to embiggen):

With about three days left, the bid is just under $74,000 for this rare piece of comics history - big, bulky and ugly history. But the comic book, it’s beautiful, isn’t it? Being in the middle of Men Of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book makes finding this auction seems especially serendipitous. I wish I had that kind of money laying around, but ha ha ha no one I know does.

The question is, finally, how high will it go?

UPDATE: The final bid was $94,000.00 BUT it didn’t meet the reserve price. Considering the description said it was worth up to $675,000, one can imagine the reserve price was pretty high.
