DETECTIVE COMICS #27 FOUND

Wow, Todd McDevitt, owner of New Dimension Comics in Pittsburgh has acquired a copy of DETECTIVE COMICS #27, the first appearance of BATMAN!!! A near-mint copy is worth $500,000... his copy is in "astounding shape" with "very minor edge wear, a light dust shadow, and a Siamese centerfold (meaning extra paper made it through the press during the printing process)".

How did he get his hands on such a gem? He says, "It was the classic story of folks cleaning out an attic and uncovering something they thought might have some value. I was happy to be the one to tell them that they were right!”

Oh you lucky motherfucker, how I hate you with pure juvenile jealousy.
