Very cool group shots!

It's super spiffy!

 

This one is pretty spiffy too!

Nice pick-up on the SC#14!

Thanks. I'm taking it to #26 because most of the first 26 issues have more serious covers with heroic action shots or war covers. After #26 there is a trend towards more humorous gag-type covers (the joy-buzzer on #33, the barber breaking his scissors on Superman's hair on #38). But I may eventually extend my run to #30 to include Mr. Mxyzptlk's 1st appearance, or #32 to include the cool lightning cover.

Thats a good reason. I would do the same thing if i were collecting the beginning of the run. #26 seems like a good place to stop

Updated Superman group shots with several new books.

 

I'm getting close to my goal of 1 - 26 complete.

 

 

Very nice books. Just curious, why 1-26?

Wow!

There must be like ... 100 books there!

Nice collection by the way.

Just completed my first transaction on the boards and figured i would get this thread going for myself.

So ... how did i do?

Nice!

Comiclink just sold a copy of Action#1 in FN+ !!!

Action #1 in FN+

Well the seller over at Comic Link accepted my bid, so I guess I'm now officially in the club! I know it's not the best looking copy, but I'll love it all the same:

 

 

 

Congrats and glad you're the buyer.

Congrats man!

Oh goody - a new score board

 

Kudos showcase22gr1959!

 

Can't believe, there is only 51 more days till the movie .

Ditto, thanks for the update.

Well I put in a bid on a low-grade SC22, wish me luck, I'd really like to join this club.

Good luck!

I apologize if this has been mentioned in this thread already.

There is a low grade 2.0 (restored) copy of SC#22 in the April auction right now on Comiclink.

If someone is looking to own a relatively cheap copy of this book, this would be a good example.

I love going through these threads...

To each his/her own...

There will never be a consensus on this.

I think there`s pretty clear consensus among knowledgeable DC collectors that there are more than 3 top tier SA DC keys.

My implication of never having a consensus with this was towards which books are keys and which are not.

I am doing the Happy Dance

I can't wait for SDCC

Nice book, BTW

There will never be a consensus on this.

Along with SC4 and 22 and BB28, what all would you guys consider to be the big DC silver age keys?

That pretty much covers it in my book

They are the only 3 mega-keys coming to mind at the moment for DC silver age.

(unless you want to count the first issues of the JLA, GL the Flash(105) as well...)

So does anyone anticipate SC#22 ever being worth as much as SC#4

Any thoughts

it is already worth more in some circles...

 

It definitely is in my small circle.........

 

I do think that the SC#22 is a huge DC silver age key, but the SC#4 books seem to be more scarce than the SC#22's.

 

I have to admit...SC4 has been the laggard, but is picking up steam. Scarce in supply doesn't always quantify demand. Price point per grade recorded sales, SC4 is still the most valuable SA DC, followed by SC22 and BB28. Demand wise would be SC22 and close followed by BB28 and then SC4.

I would agree to this order of demand, and maybe its just me but it seems that BB#28 isn't real close to SC#22. Or am i wrong?

I don't know if they are more scarce, but the market is not the strongest right now so fewer copies are trading hands. SC #22 was in the same boat just a couple of years ago........

Yeah, I think it was only about 2+ years ago that a SC#22 could be had for around guide (or even less).

It's only a matter of time until the next DC book picks up a bit of steam after BB 28. Whether it involves movie hype or whatever many of the early DC Silver Keys are still underpriced compared to their counterparts.

 

Once the flippers/speculators get involved all the fun begins for those who seem to revel in hyping up books.

There is speculation of a Flash movie being made, isn't there?

If so, i am sure SC#4 would bounce back with stronger sale prices.
