I've never gotten an email like this before, so obviously it's a big deal (or an April Fools joke!) ... whatever they're teasing would presumably hit the 6-figure mark, and I would guess the 7-figure mark. Given all the big-ticket items Heritage sells all the time, I wonder what would justify a special email like this ... I think it would have to be an Action 1, or maybe a Detective 27 or Marvel Comics 1. Or, if we allow our imaginations to extend beyond comics to original art, I suppose it could be some piece everyone thought didn't exist any more. Take your guesses here! Why was my gut reaction with the visual, for it to be something Star Wars? I guess im way off, as I struggle to think of any sw books even comparable to the ones you mention. Unless it is like 9.9 or perfect 10 35 cent variant? Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A heretofore unknown 10.0 graded copy of the 1841, London 1st edition of The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck! There was a fire that destroyed a significant portion of Tilt & Bogue's stock in 1841, so it's widely recognized as the scarcest of all editions of OO. A man can dream, right?

I think you've actually stumbled on it. The image doesn't look exactly like the Star Wars title sequence ... more like the original Superman movie.

Sweet Lou 14 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) For those interested, it's the "Kansas City pedigree" copy of Action Comics #1, graded 8.5 OW/W. https://www.instagram.com/p/C20GHvCRd3m https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/action-comics-1-kansas-city-pedigree-dc-1938-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/p/7369-117008.s I had never heard of the Kansas City pedigree, so I looked it up: Kansas City The earliest pedigreed collection ever found, it turned up in Kansas City in the late '60s and featured a large accumulation of nearly 250 high grade #1 issues that ran from 1937 through the '40s. The people who purchased it sold only a handful of issues each year, but because the accumulation was not considered a pedigree until the '80s, and because they have no distinct markings, many copies have anonymously vanished into collections. Besides copies of Batman #1, Flash #1, Green Lantern #1, Planet #1, Jumbo #1, and Superman #1, the collection also contained one of only four pedigreed copies of Action Comics #1. That copy, graded CGC 8.0, was the first comic book to sell for $1 million in 2011. Sounds like this book magically improved from 8.0 to 8.5 at some point. What do you think it will go for?
