File this one under some people have all the luck, as for me, well I saw an Action #1 once, at a convention, in locked bulletproof glass case.  This dude on the other hand is wondering around a yard sale and finds a NM Detecive #27.  Man I would settle for Giant Size X-Men or Spiderman #1, much less finding one of the legendary Golden Age books.

From Fox News: Near-Mint Comic Featuring Batman's Debut, Worth $250,000, Found in Pennsylvania Attic.

     A near-mint copy of Detective Comics No. 27, a pre-World War II comic featuring Batman's debut, was recently found in an attic and sold to a local collector.

     The comic is considered to be the second-most valuable available and can fetch up to $500,000. The only comic considered more valuable is Action Comics No. 1, in which Superman makes his first appearance.

     Collector Todd McDevitt said the Batman issue he bought is worth about $250,000, but he won't say exactly how much he paid or who sold it to him.

     "It was a typical story of someone cleaning up junk in their attic and finding an old comic book and wondering if this was one of those ones that was worth a lot of money," McDevitt told the Beaver County Times.

     When the seller walked in with the Batman issue, "my eyes almost popped out of my head," McDevitt said.

    Even through the massive fog of envy I can give this piece of advice, hand carry that bad bpy to CGC and get it graded, because then it will be worth an even more ridculous amount of cash.
