Digging For Dollars

[NewtSamson]

I always hear the sad tale of mothers throwing out kid's baseball card collections and comics, and that these collections would of been worth thousands or even millions. We've heard these tales for years.

Well, one day I'm gonna take my shovel to the garbage dump and dig me up a poor to very good copy of Action Comics number 1 and make me a quick dollar or two

[NewtSamson]

Who is with me? I'll split the profit.

The books are far more likely to have been thrown in a fire/incinerator. Just as well too as otherwise there would be too many copies floating around.

Yeah... it would suck if there were enough floating around so that I wouldn't have to mortgage my house to buy one

But if they were cheap, would you still want one?

Yea but digging for em wont effect the market.

It'll be like cherry picking through a long box except it's through smelly 50 year old garbage,

Consider it a tressure hunt.

Someone already beat you to it. It was CGC graded 2.5.

When I was 17 or 18, I worked at a recycling center for a short time. I dreamt of finding beat up Golden Age books in the piles!!! But all I found was a bunch of "well used" Penthouse and Playboy issues. Not quite as good as an Action 1, but I wasn't complaining!

Anyone remember the garbage dump find sometme in the 80's as I recall? I THINK Ted Vanliew had a hand in it.
