Do you have an extra $42,000 sitting around? That’s the opening bid for an 8.0 edition of Amazing Fantasy #15 in an upcoming auction.
Hundreds of comics were found in an abandoned basement in St. Charles, Missouri. The cost of the Spidey book is worth more than the house is being sold for on the market.
All the books are being sold in a two day auction. It started on Sunday and will conclude on Monday. Here is a link to all the books.

PS: Amazing Fantasy #15 went for $75,000 plus fees of $11k.
Oh man, don’t tell me this guy never moved out of his mothers basement!!! I can hear the nerd jokes now…
What a weird way to inherit $500,000. First the original collector dies, then his mother does not throw them out, (whew!!!) and a cousin gets them. A cousin? Seriously?
Wow, how lucky can you get? I wonder if the surviving cousin ever wondered if his cousin was a nerd? Probably does not matter now.
I live in St. Louis and almost went to the auction today just to say I saw it.
Sadly I had other commitments and could not go.
My god ,that’s incredible!
it went for $75,000.00 Thats insane…guess they didn’t wanna take my five bucks a month payment… damn greedy bastards 😉
That is a sweet copy, and lots of great issues… ya think they’d take $5 a month payments? 🙂
what moron left that many classic comics to be abandoned in a basement?! XD Oh, and I´m so sad that I don´t live in the US, and have lots of money, otherwise I might´ve had a shot at getting these…x_x
PS! I saw some DC Comics too in the picture, I think it was the Flash and the Green Lantern. Nice to see there is some variety, and not only Marvel comics, even though we all already know they kick ass 🙂
man i went to the link. its like a bazillion old school comics.
