The auction of “Action Comics #1″ begins on Friday and concludes on March 13. Currently the bid is valued at about $230,200. Its a rare copy of the first Superman comic. The unidentified seller bought the comic in 1950 when he was 9 years old after begging his father for 35 cents. “It’s the Holy Grail of comic books,” said comic expert Stephen Fishler.

Fishler, founder of New York’s Metropolis Collectibles, will manage the auction of the comic — created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster. You can check what the current bid looks like at Comic Connect
