That story is from this morning. The action is over now. As you might guess, it didn't quite sell for the estimated $2 million. 
It sold for closer to $4 million.

"Rorrer, who works as an operator at a plant where oil is separated from water, said he was telling a co-worker about Captain America No. 2, a 1941 issue in which the hero bursts in on Adolf Hitler, when the co-worker mused that it would be something if he had Action Comics No. 1, in which Superman makes his first appearance.
"I went home and was looking through some of them and there it was," said Rorrer, who then began researching the collection's value in earnest."
What kind of a dumbass doesn't know Captain America #2 and Action Comics #1 are worth staggering amounts of money?
I bet even Snooky knows that.

Rorrer was just a relative that was cleaning out the house after his aunt passed away.
