17 posts in this topic

Traveling through Montana. On a local radio station heard a story about a local couple who found a box in their house. Inside we’re some comics including action 1. 
 

according to news story local couple sent book “ended up with Vincent at Connect.com.”

I assume they meant comic connect. 
 

I dunno. Just passing story along

I saw a news feature with Zurzolo of Metropolis holding the book -- unless I'm mistaken, it was a 1.5 in a CGC holder.  Zurzolo commented that family members fought over the newly-found book and created a large tear in the back cover.  The tear has obviously resulted in a tremendous loss in dollar value considering the book involved.  (Currently the CGC census shows two universal 1.5 copies.)

Don’t they all end up there sooner or later? :insane:

That particular comic was found in Minnesota not Montana.  

The whole tug of war ripping the cover is the funniest part of that story.

edit** whoops I should have read the thread to the bottom.... I didn't see the post directly above mine.

In the CBR story, Fishler mentions the tear dropped the value by $75000 (mentioned in this thread) -- which I'm almost certain is the exact same amount Zurzolo claimed, so that confirms it's the 2013 find in the video I saw.

I didn't realize the story went back so far.  We never did find out which other comics were in that find (not that it matters).

I guess news travels real slow in Montana? :)

Story is from 2013 and comic found in Minnesota.

A tear cost $75000?

Bet they are looking forward to seeing Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy opening in theatre's  in Montana next year too...:baiting:

Actually we do know the other comic was a centaur , mark Haspel showed it to me a few years back

Well, I guess we know why that one wasn't mentioned...nobody cares about Centaurs...:baiting:

Once upon a time there was a Gator from Florida who swore he would make every Centaur his own...
