One of those bidders must surely be Zack Snyder or Bryan Singer?
Exciting just to look at the auction page. |

Does it include the free Red Arrow flyer?
So exciting. Hook Jaw, Dredger, Hellman! Whoever wins is going to be a lucky lad. |

For that price they'd better hand deliver the comic in person.

Damn, starting price was 0.99c, could have had a bargain if it wasn't for those pesky meddling kids.

^be 'funny' if at the end of the auction the top bidder was revealed to be a hoaxer, then the next in line was a hoaxer too, etc etc... all the way down to the first 99c bidder who was real and they got the bargain of the century.

Got won with a bid of $3,207,852.00 = $ 1,934,755.31 (ish)
Went up $500,000 in the last minute !! (seller musta been pleased), and a last second sniper tried to nick it with their $3,207,752.00 bid but it was too low, maybe the winner's max bid was something like $3,500,000 - oh to have that much money lying about the place. ![]() (and thankfully the seller didn't add a "plus $20 post+packaging" thing that some sellers do with their expensive items, cos that'd be taking the pss.) |

yeah, sending such an item via Royal Mail or one of those "other couriers" would be kinda foolish as they probably disregard the "do not fkn bend" instructions on the packaging.

Ha! Can you imagine? You receive your £2mil 9.0 Action Comics #1 via Royal Mail, and there's now a big fold down the middle, and a bit of spine roll for good measure.
Isn't the one auctioned already slabbed by CGC? |

^iiuc it's gonna be sent just bagged and boarded, and the buyer has to remove the $3,207,852.00 price label from cover.

Oh, and I notice someone has asked them how they intend to have it delivered. |

^why the heck would someone collect multiple unreadable copies of the same old comic, unless he's an evil genius type person who wants them ALLLLLL and doesn't want anyone else to have any one of 'em.

He's a dealer, so he's only collecting them to sell. However, one thing I've noticed on Instagram is that there are mentalists out there who buy and hoard multiple copies of key issues, like X-Men #1, Hulk #181 and Spiderman #129 etc., etc. Like, dozens of each issue. Sick bastards!
