ComicConnect's next auction will begin on Friday, February 27, 2009 and will feature an unrestored copy of the first appearance of Superman, Action Comics #1, graded 6.0 by Comic Guarantee, LLC. (CGC). This copy, which was previously unknown to the collectible market, was recently on display at the New York Comic Con.

"The comic was displayed to the public for the very first time at New York Comic Con, and the reaction was overwhelming," said Vincent Zurzolo, co-founder of ComicConnect, in a recent press release. "Even little kids knew the significance of the comic, and made the pilgrimage to the ComicConnect booth just to see the book."

With an estimate of only 100-150 copies of Action Comics #1 in existence, this rare find is both exciting and potentially very profitable.

"It's the 'Holy Grail' of comic books," said Stephen Fishler, one of the leading experts on collectible comics, in a recent press release.

According the press release, Fishler is founder of New York's Metropolis Collectibles (MetropolisComics.com), the largest dealership of vintage comic books. He, along with partner Zurzolo, will manage the auction of Action Comics #1 via their online marketplace, ComicConnect.com.

 Although the book is currently listed in price guides for $126,000 in Fine condition (6.0), many leading collectors and experienced experts feel that the book could bring in much more. According to ComicConnect, bidding for the book will open at $1 with no set reserve.
