The comic book he found was actually Action Comics #1, which came out in June 1983. Comic books enthusiasts knew how valuable the book was, but even casual fans can tell it was important. After all, it was the issue in which Superman was first introduced! “I knew it was worth money, But I had no idea how much,” Gonzalez told reporters. He made the decision to sell it, but he was shocked to learn how much it was worth.

More Than Expected
There was no doubt that Action Comics #1 was worth a large sum of money but Gonzalez had no idea about how much it would go for. He decided to sell it at an auction to get the best possible price. At the very least, he thought that he could find a buyer who would pay a thousand dollars for it. Originally sold for 10 cents, the final price was set at a whopping $175,000. David Gonzalez’s home cost him less than a tenth of that amount! Who would have thought that it could fetch him such a large sum of money?
