Man finds $3.5 million stash of comics in closet
Holy payday, Batman!
A pile of comic books stashed in a basement closet just scored one man $3.5 million. The collection of 345 comic books included some of the most-prized issues ever published, dating back to 1938. Michael Rorrer found the books in his aunt's basement after she passed away. The collection included the debut of Batman, which sold for about $523,000, and the first appearance of Superman, which sold for $299,000. The majority of the collection was sold at auction.
