The <strong>Denver Pedigree Comic Book Collection<\/strong> is such a case.  A woman in Denver had the &#8220;crystal ball&#8221; thinking that led her to purchase only #1 issues of comic books from the years 1938-1944.  Talk about an investor!<\/p>\n<p>The Denver collection only contained 153 comics.  It contains mostly superhero and adventure comics.  They were all stored for posterity, not kept as a &#8220;reader&#8221; collection, leading to amazing condition.  Most of the collection is considered the <strong>best preserved comic books in existence<\/strong>.  The priced realized on these books are in the stratosphere, with a Marvel Comics #1 CGC 8.5 selling for $155,350.00 in February 2009 at Heritage Auctions.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think you have the ability to see the future like a special lady in 1938?
