ACTION COMICS #1 - The most expensive comic book ever sold just fetched $6 million net at auction. Most collectors are familiar with the comic, many with the recent news, but how about the Prize Ring?
What you'd say? The what?
Within the pages of the comic, a contest was advertised. In 100 words or less, what would you do with Superman's powers?
Winners were offered some great prizes. Among them were a purported 2000 Prize rings that depicted a bound Superman breaking his chains, with the words "Supermen of America" "Member".
To date there have been about 15-20 of the "Prize" rings found.
The highest record price of $120,000 was realized some 25 years ago according to the Overstreet Toy Ring Price Guide. Not bad for the 1990's.
I wonder if the new owner of Action Comics #1 knows about this.
