So a man started a comic book collection at the young age of 9 years old. Picking up titles as they came out through the 1930's into the 1950's. Some of the most sought after books of today, he carefully collected and preserved through out his life. That man was Billy Wright. When he died in 1944 at the age of 66 they were left in the basement until the death of Michael Rorrer's Aunt. When she passed Rorrer was cleaning out the basement of his deceased Aunt's house when he stumbled upon the collection. He took a few and sent the rest to his mother's house not really knowing the value of what he had found. After mentioning it at work one day, his co-worker jokingly said wouldn't it be something if he had Action Comics No1. When Rorrer went home he indeed found Action No1 and made him research more into the vast collection his Uncle had left behind. The main 227 comics out of the collection sold for $3,466,264 with the rest to be sold on eBay in the coming weeks. 

The copy of Detective Comics No. 27, from 1939, drew the highest bid Wednesday, selling for $523,000, including a buyer's premium, Allen said. Wright's Action Comics No. 1, from 1938, sold for about $299,000; Batman No. 1, from 1940, sold for about $275,000; and Captain America No. 2, a 1941 issue with Adolf Hitler on the cover, sold for about $114,000. - Comcast

Now, if any of my collections are worth THAT much money after I am dead, you better dig up my bones and bring them  to the party. This corpse wants a cold brew and sandwich. I dug through my old comics after reading this. I think the most valuable one I have is Jurassic Park No1 signed by the artist and writer. Got it off of QVC when the movie came out, so you know it's legit. What would you do with $3.5 million dollars that a relative left you accidentally?
