Holy donation, Batman! Man gives comic book collection to Middle TN Goodwill
An anonymous donor from Rutherford County has given 12,626 vintage comic books to Goodwill.
The comics are being sold through Goodwill's auction site, http://www.onlinegoodwill.com/ and not in stores.
Goodwill's Suzanne Kay-Pittman said that the value of the comics is around $42,000, are categorized and preserved in Mylar sleeves with acid-free backer boards.
Some of the comics date back to 1962 and include Superman, Spiderman, Batman and Vampirella.
What a great Jesture!
