This Guy Purchased A Tank On Ebay, But Didn’t Know It Contained A Fortune

Comic Book Surprise

In 2013, a house flipper in Minnesota made an unwitting discovery worth more money than he could have imagined. David Gonzalez was a contractor who thought he had his work cut out for him with a rundown property. While David went about the demolition process, he knocked down a wall and found something remarkable. Behind the wall was a very special comic book. The comic was an original copy of Action Comic Number 1. This comic is the first ever issue in the series Action Comics. This comic book is particularly remarkable because it features the first ever appearance of the now iconic superhero, Superman. The comic in and of itself is essentially considered to be the beginning of the superhero genre and it’s considered to be the most valuable comic book in all history. David Gonzalez’ find ended up garnering him a comic book worth $175,000. This home flip definitely paid off!
