I remember getting laughed at for paying $3700 for the first WRAP of Action #1  off-white pages  15 or 16 years ago.  (no longer in my collection)  Times have changed.

Whoever laughed at you was a bloody disgrace! 😂

that was my bid, but I have since been outbid.  My wife can now breathe a sigh of relief... unless I change my mind...

When this passed $27.5k, atleast I think that’s what page 5 sold for once, it became the highest price ever paid for a single page. Now it’s entering another universe at the current price and whatever it may keep going for. Action 1 and specifically Superman pages of course, just the record breaking gift that keeps on giving.

It did seem kinda crazy at the time.  Especially when my maximum bid was much higher than that.  I was in it to win it!  :smile:

Wow. That price is nuts. Brittle to boot. Rather spend a little more and hunt for a coverless copy. 

The brittle part doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen a brittle page 1 sell before and at the time it was an impressive price. It seems Action Comics 1 Superman pages defy reality no matter the PQ, but especially pages 1 and 5. And as far as hunting for a coverless copy, I mean truthfully you’re just not going to find one. But if you do, expect to spend around $150K-$200K easy. So quite a bit more.

Looks like there's a piece of page 3 (?) attached to the back of the page.  Not sure this is a problem.  Other than some tears, I fear I may be missing the problem you are asking about.

It’s a rogue piece from a different page,  but regardless its source, the eye appeal is adversely affected. So that, plus the other problems with the page, are too much for me
