How did the comic get from Cage’s home to the San Fernando Valley storage locker? Unknown. The path of the object during the eleven years it was missing is not documented. It may have been stored directly from the point of theft; it may have changed hands multiple times; it may have been moved across multiple storage locations. The storage locker is the endpoint of a journey that cannot be reconstructed from available evidence.
Who rented the storage locker? Unknown. The buyer who purchased the contents said he could not identify the specific locker among those he had acquired. The identity of the locker’s renter—the person who had stored the comic, whether or not they knew what it was—is not established in the public record.
What was the exact year of Cage’s purchase? Uncertain. The ABC News account (2011) and the CGC account differ on whether the purchase occurred in 1995 or 1996; another account gives 1997. The $150,000 purchase price is consistent across sources, but the year is disputed.
Who sold the January 2026 $15 million copy, and was it the Cage copy? Anonymous seller (buyer also anonymous). The insidehook.com account identifies Cage as a former owner of the copy sold; if Cage sold in 2011 and the subsequent buyer sold in 2026, Cage was a former owner, not the seller, of the 2026 transaction. Whether the 2026 copy is the same physical object as the one Cage owned is not definitively established in the sources consulted.
