Ok, middle aged man is selling his recently passed father's items at a garage sale. Middle aged man is well off as you can tell from the car in the drive way, and size of the house. You see a box of comics, nothing that special, but rare for what you would find at a garage sale, just some beat up old comics, only worth a few dollars a piece. You ask the guy how much for the whole box, he says 70, you counter with 50, and reach an agreement on 50. Once you get home you start going through the box since you only saw the surface at the sale. Every layer peeled reveals a nice set of books then the last.
First some fifty Dells, then some 50's war comics you know those are valuable a guy on the internet told me. Some pre-code horror, you've already made some money back, then boom you reach pay dirt, golden age super hero! Detective comics! Starting with #40 you work your way back 39 is there, and you take a deep breath and look underneath it. Yes! #38 the first Robin! Your exited now you just scored a major find, that shouldn't even be possible with more books still underneath it. You keep going finding issue after issue until you see it, #31 one of the most classic covers of all time. Your ecstatic you just found 2 of the most valuable comics, with still a few left. You regain composer, and continue to go through your find of one in a million, 30, 29,28, and that's where you stop, and look.
Right underneath 28 there seems to be 1 comic left, and if it continues to follow the numbers in your head you know what it must be. Slowly you lift the comic on top of it off, and what does it reveal!? Detective comics #27, the FIRST BATMAN! You are in shock you just found the second most valuable comic, plus many other multi thousand dollar books that you paid less then hundred dollars for.You didn't know they were in the box at the time you bought them. He was old enough o use the internet, and do research. Do you go back, and tell the gut what you found, and what there worth? I wouldn't...
