The world's most expensive Comic (and photograph)

Apparently, with still about 15 hours to go as of this posting, it's already at $1,552,000, the most ever considering that in 1997 it only sold for $150,000!
Really, now is a good time to get that TMNT #1 first printing, as you can get a 9.0 for around $2000 on a good day; and as they say, only the holy grail appreciates the best. The catch is though is that this is not only the highest grade for it's type (Superman #1, June 1938], but also has some distinctive features, such as being stolen by actor and fan Nicolas Cage. There are only around 100 copies that exist.

P.S. Even though that the posting above has a good story, this may qualify for news of the weird. Who would want to spend $4.3 million on a photograph that's digital and is just another one of the Rhine River (and was just taken in 1999, hardly considered antique)?
