Ya of course it will sell for that much; its the 1938 no.1 Superman Comic Edition.

I am surprised that it isn't selling for a lot more. Pretty sure that the comic would have sold for at least 3-4x more if he waited until the 80th year.

However, that is a lot of change to be placed in the bank with that comic

Woah! 1.5 Mill for a useless comic? :/

While I wouldn't go so far as to say useless, I do have to wonder why people continue to pay so much for it?

Lately Ive seen a lot of old stuff (20,000 $USD Nintendo with games) go for a HUGE amount of money and I start to wonder why people value something like that so high.

One of the following:
Collectors. Fans. Rich people.

Its just something people like to do, collect old things.
Their fans, they have that obsession and need to prove thier the biggest fan.
Sad rich people who want to re-live thier old childhood because thier unhappy.
