  1. Misquote or does he really believe it? Agree or disagree? Which one will go highest tonight? A1 or T27 ... the A1 should kill a 3 sided trimmed tec27... if both were equal grades,the A1 would still win (imo) Considered how the T27 in question actually fills out the inner well in a "normal" way, it must be micro-micro trim. its not noted as "cover" trimmed, but "edges"...that typically means interior book trimmed too... The C-cnect Action 1 (mod 7.0) was clearly the better book relative to the triple trimmed tec27 (mod 8.0). Yet they roughly hammered out at 140K and 170K, with "only" a 30K margin. What does that indicate to you as regards the reciprocal strength of the big two? Is action still a hair above when this sale is considered? The action closed about 50k higher than anticipated and the Tec about 40k higher. Both books are strong but action 1 is still king. Rick, the Action 1 CC 7.0 mod presents well, but the interior enlightened (depending how much was done) is somewhat a big factor? Regardless, those are strong prices for the BIG two. didn't bother me...interior lightening is just chemically cleaning the pages....it will still outlast us all (thumbs u Not worried that it can promote rusty staples? I've owned a lot of interior lightened comics and never had any staple issues... oxygen and water/moisture cause rust... I would think a book would be totally disassembled to have pages lightened and well dried/pressed before it was put back together again so I wouldn't worry about rust. IIRC West has said that the process used to lighten pages does cause the pages harm and they will deteriorate faster. How fast, I don't know. I own one book with lightened pages and I haven't cracked it out yet.
  2. +1 monster book! Better than gold probably worth more by weight...
  3. One of my favorite Action covers of all time.
  4. the Larson copy of action 1 is where abouts unknown... I once heard the cover was cleaned (like some of the other early actions, 7 most notably)... there is no coupon or mail in cut out on back cover of action 1... there is on the all American 16, which I believe the Larson 16 has had cut... Thanks! That's the most information from a reliable source I've ever heard about the Larson AC1 . Good to know for sure at least what we don't know.
  5. Can't remember where I heard it. I think I had just googled Action Comics #1 Larson and it was in a stream of articles about pricy books and someone had posted it was missing a coupon, but nobody could confirm. As I've never seen a scan/picture of it I really have no idea. But as its one of the few pedigree Action 1s it has interested me for some time.
  6. Hi Rick, Have you ever seen the Larson copy of Action 1? If so do you have any idea of its condition? I have heard varying stories it may have had a coupon clipped from the back cover. Thanks
  7. I know I'm late to the party, but I just started watching season 1 on Netflix and I'm hooked. Anyone know where I can see season 2 without having to wait for reruns?
  8. Nice book. I've always loved that cover. IIRC Planet 49 was the first Fiction House I picked up.
  9. If photobucket was working for me I'd post my copy of Brick Bradford #6. However, I'm sure someone else has a nicer copy than I do.
  10. Have you got multiple copies of Aman 26 now? If so a group shot would make a great pic!
  11. MMC 5 is one of my all time favorites.
  12. Thanks! Its a fun little run to put together.
  13. [/img] Been working on the Top Notch run lately and picked up a few more issues.
  14. [/img] Finally finished this short MLJ run.
  15. I bought one book from him with no problems, but the deal was done in person. We met at a con in San Jose. He was a teenager (I think he was like 15 when I met him and this was like 5 years ago) that had no business trying to hustle the deals he was getting into.
  16. Great book! One of my favorite series and a high grade pedigree copy as well!
