Awesome pic, and very sad.

Very nice!

Action #7

 

Picked this up a few months ago (after it had sold on Heritage) but just now got around

to taking some of my own pictures.

 

A book I really thought I’d never have a chance to own, and really a surreal moment for me as a collector. A book I will be putting into the chest for the long haul.

 

The defect on this one is obvious. But the rest of the book is so nice in quality and color that it almost makes up for it. And again to just be able to own it, you’ll here no complaints from me.

 

Hindsight really is 20/20, I believe I was the first to post this book when it went up for auction on Heritage, and was defiantly not in favor of the piece missing. Passed on the book on heritage, regretted it ever since. As luck would have it when I started searching around for an early Action Superman cover, one of our boardies (none other than Rick aka Gator), had a line on this copy from its then anonymous owner who would sell if we figured out a price point. The rest is history. And I’m a happy man for sure.

 

Humongous thanks to Gator for making this happen, if not for you it would not have!

 

 

 

 

 

To me, Action Comics #7 is my all-time favorite Superman cover.

 

This was an unspeakably incredible acquisition on your behalf Alex.

 

No amount of congratulations would do this book the proper justice.

 

Just being able to appreciate the pics is a true privilege; I couldn't imagine how incredible it must feel to own this piece of history.

 

BIG TIME, BIG TIME, BIG TIME congratulations buddy!

Thanks so much man!

Dang dang dang Mr. B

And that Cappy 1 aint even really restored.

There is so much ultra high grade timely goodness over the past few pages that my brain is having a hard time processing it!!!

Amazing books you guys!!!

And board member Timely, I defiantly think you've earned your name, incredibly nice set of books!!

Thanks everyone!

This book is a Christmas present and a half. I am so jealous. Nicely done, Alex.

Thanks!

I'm still in shock over it.

I really should not have been able to ever own an Action 7, outta my league.

Wow, very very cool.

 

Great group of some great covers.

Awesome!

Wow, jb, that OA is awesome!

Everyone has there own opinions, but for the most part (besides of course what has been verified, etc.) the rest is all theory.

I think safety deposits are fine, as long as its not located in an erratic climate area, either too cold or especially too hot moist. But 95% of safety deposits in the U.S. are "okay."

I think the absolute biggest thing is to just make sure your books are regularly removed for a short time, for example when you take them out to enjoy for a day or so anyway, about 2 times a year.

The biggest problem with keeping anything in a tight enclosed space for too long, is that IF there is something in the air (a small chemical, etc.) it will continue to compound overtime. So if you left something in a safety deposit box for a decade and had not removed it once, I would not be surprised if something could have happened.

This is all my "amateur" opinion however, and am open to correction.

Just blown away, blown blown blown away to see this mega books on eBay at the same time!

And no reserve!?!

These are Dark Knight's books right?

finally i got it!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome pick up!!

Congrats!!

HEY YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! RANDOM POST TIME!!!!!!!!! WHOPPPPEEEEEEEEE

I believe mine is the Diamond run copy that a few years ago was graded as 4.0 Slight A with glue alone the interior of the spine. This is my 3rd copy I've owned but I've always flipped them almost immediately. Going to try and hang on to this copy for a while.

That's amazing, that's easily worth over 5 figures now. A 4.0 blue sold for over 2x and then a blue 3.5 sold the board here for somewhere in the 17.5 range last decemeber.

I think this year the Tec 35's have come down just a slight bit because we've seen an overabundance of them in the market this year, (for example I think it's been over 4 restored on Clink alone, and 2 blue) and 1-2 years ago we hardly saw one if any if felt. (0 on clink last year to my knowledge vs this year 6 or more)

 

A shame it was trimmed, but I bet we'll see some aggressive plays on this book. A very nice "more reasonable" option for those seeking to get into a Tec 35.

 

I see this going past 7K easily and even into the 8K range. (Especially given an EP 3.0 brittle paged copy got $4,103 early this year)

 

 

 

Didn't a Tec 35 CGC 3.5 go for north of 17.5K or so last december here on the boards?

I dunno about $7-8K. I'll throw out a guess of $6K. That right edge is wack.... almost hard to believe that isn't trimmed as well. Even so, great colors on this puppy!

 

 

I hope it hits $6K+ but I doubt it will fetch much over $4k. I picked mine up for less than $7K (but I think I got a good deal):

 

 

The colors on that 2.5 copy are amazing though.

I think you guys aren't being aggressive enough.

I sold my CGC .5 Restored SA Tec 35 for $5,101 back in April, and again a brittle paged (slightly brittle?) EP 3.0 got over $4,103.

So in theory a 2.5 SA in my mind should certainly hit over $7,000 if I could get $5,101 for a mere .5 SA. If the 2.5 on auction goes under 5K than prices are slipping and I may need to add another Tec 35 to my belt.

And Surfer, how on earth did you get that gorgeous Tec 35 for under 7K!?!?! That's quite frankly one of the best deals ever, ever, ever.

I can't tell from the scan is there any major work done or anything? It at least does not appear so from the scan.

without a doubt one of supermans best early action covers

Without a doubt. And it's one of the classic images.

It's a beaut Cat (thumbs u

 

it is just great!

Woah!!! Nice!
