    this is so sad and silly.  All these online "advisers" or "people in the know" who know nothing, and spouting pure nonsense based on a rumor or a mistake.  (this guy has a wall full of books in average grade of 3.0, and actually does have an 8.0 -- but its just a Dr Strange #1... a wall book!?  really?)  Anyone here on the boards knows for decades that the owner of the MH Action 1 would never be selling.. AND, never for so little as 4.5M.  Theres a misunderstanding here.  What really happened is some kind of twisted combination of First Superman comic, Ungraded or slabbed that sold privately recently.  In todays market, 4.5M for the best copy of Action 1 is not only silly to believe, but insulting to the comic, its owner and all of us who follow this hobby closely.

    If an ungraded Action 1 just sold for 4.5M, it wasn't the MH copy.
    If a slabbed Action 1 just sold, it wasn't a 9.4 nor the MH copy, which is raw.
    If some first Superman comic just sold for 4.5M slabbed or not, it was either a lower grade unknown copy, or some other comic book instead in whatever grade it was

    Only problem is that nobody who knows what really sold, or who leaked this "news" to Key Collector has come forward with either what they heard and reported, or the real facts.  And after 3 days it doesn't appear anyone will come forward.

     

    The ebb and flow of information these days vs. speed and inaccuracy is just baffling to me.  I didn't dig really too far but I'm sure there are other similar vlogs/postings claiming the sale as such.

  5. My sincere condolences OP. 

    I didn't see this mentioned. NEVER ship this kind of valuable book via UPS or FedEx unless you have a 3rd party insurance policy that covers in-transit lost/damaged shipping liability.

    Just because you can declare the value of the package for $40K does not equate to any kind of insurance coverage. The amount of actual insurance coverage from a Fed Ex/UPS is a pittance with respect to comic books.

    UPS does offer Parcel Pro which is a separate insurance coverage for highly valuable shipments but I believe applicable for jewelry, loose stones etc.

    USPS registered mail does offer up to $50K of legit liability coverage. However in your specific scenario with this raw comic, I'm not familiar with how heavy the burden is to prove current market value and how you could even do that with respect to condition grade vs. say had you bought this comic in certified CGC slab form off eBay and received a retail invoice and paid with your paypal account. 

    God speed to you and your family.
