1973 'Peanuts' Comic Strip Up For Auction

from National Public Radio

This week, a Peanuts comic strip from April 1, 1973, is on the block. It's a Sunday edition, with more panels than usual — and, of course, it features Charlie Brown being suckered by Lucy. Auctioneer Nate Sanders says despite the recession, Peanuts strips are still rising in value, perhaps because of their limited supply. He thinks this one might come close to the record for a Peanuts strip, which is more than $100,000.
