I dated this girl in college whose parents had bought their house in the Queens Village neighborhood of Philadelphia back in the 50s for a nickel. Something ridiculous like that.
When they bought the little townhouse, the previous owners had left boxes of old comic books in the basement. A lot of early Superman, Spiderman, and Batman. She used to give them out to kids as payment for babysitting.
If she’d only known what she had. I learned of this in the 80s and it hurt me even then.
