What's Action Comics #13 worth in 2024?
Out of the 24 unrestored copies known only 15 have ever made it to market. The highest graded copy, a CGC NM- 9.2, sold for $185,000 in 2011. To get an idea of how these issues appreciate you need to look at GP analysis' sale history for a copy that has changed hands more than once which is sometimes difficult with comics of this age. A CGC VF 8.0 copy sold for nearly $68,000 in 2011. In 2015 that same copy sold for $102,000, a profit of $34,000. Over a four year period there was probably no other market enjoying that rate of return. The 9.2 gradeed copy brought $117,000 more than the 8.0 graded copy that sld in the same year (2011). A CGC NM+ 9.6 would more than linkely bring between $300,000 and $350,000 if brought to market today.
Why is this comic book valuable?
We have all heard the phrase, "...more powerful than a locomotive...". Clearly a reference to the Son of Krypton. Action Comics #13, Superman's fourth cover appearance doesn't disappoint. The Man of Steel is stopping a speeding locomotive from shooting off the tracks! If that isn't a good enough reason for this issue to be so valuable it also features Superman's first super-villain, Ultra-Humanite and an advertisement for Superman #1. There are 44 known copies of this issue but only 24 of them are all original unrestored. Definitely a rare find.
