| Is this an "investment" bid, or an "I want it whatever it costs" bid? Anyone know who got it? |

| The person or persons who bought that book, doesn't worry about a few million bucks. They would rather NOT lose it. But they won't lose any sleep if they do. I am sure it is insured also. |

That guy outside in the street yesterday, I saw him the other day too.. oh heck, I'm going home and calling in sick" |

Hollywood Scenario: Time Portal opens in front of you... you find yourself transported to downtown Los Angeles, June 1938...there is a newsstand nearby... luckily you brought two silver certificates with you so you grab 20 9.8 Action Comics #1 just as the portal closes and you land on your duff in your living room. You sit on your shag carpeting looking at the books in front of you... " Sounds good ... right? |

| My wife and I have attended a couple of local "time capsule" openings over the past few years. The last one was in 2012 in a small town called Ripley, Ohio. Usually stuff like newspaper headlines, coins, photographs (tintypes) and such. I wonder if any Action Comics #1's are in a time capsule somewhere, waiting for a hundred years to pass. Here is a story of the last one we attended. Our favorite restaurant is across the street from where this thing was buried since 1912. http://www.wlwt.com/article/village-opens-time-capsule-finds-window-to-past/3524388 |

| I love time capsules...unfortunately like Action Comics #1 nobody knows the stuff that'll be valuable in 100 years.... or 50... | ||

| I don't think they are done for "value". Just for historical purposes. An interesting thing would be to do some research on time capsules that were buried around 1939 and 1940. One of them just might have an Action #1 or Tec. #27 there, because of Superman and Batman. They were kind of popular even back then. |

| I agree... I bet there is a time capsule out there with a DC Comic in it... | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by conditionfreak Well, they completely changed the entire comic book industry. They sold tremendously well. The interesting thing about time capsules is, it turns out, it's very difficult to remember them. They get "lost" or forgotten all the time. Think about it. Imagine you want to create a time capsule, and you need to set up a system to tell ... someone, anyone, about it, one hundred years from now. (Or two hundred, or a thousand.) It's not an easy problem to solve. And during the "time capsule" craze, a LOT of people (towns, cities, whatever) didn't think about it at all. Maybe the best idea is to find buildings that were built in 1938, 39, 40. A lot of times the cornerstone is also a time-capsule, and one that is likely to be quickly forgotten. |

| I watched that auction back then and it was crazy. The one Action Comics #1 was bought for $87k at an auction and sold it to Nicholas for somewhere $250k+ by one of the dealers near me. And then Nicholas sold it later for about $2.5 mil because Nick wasn't making that great movies after. | ||
