a very strong 1.8....look for price on this book at this grade to make a record price.

" the stuff dreams are made of " Sam S

the" leader" is just that...the best poster on these boards, it makes me want to go to the "real" shows in the midwest....thank you very much for your excellent pics and comments...

wow over 2M....for a 7.0...it is a great book..cong to seller, it might even hit 2.2

nice selection, good luck.....

this is an old saying.....if you have nothing good to say......about this mimi-me next topic....

i did it fast but that was at 830 am, any board member want to hang out or hi tommorow please PM me and we will meet up, especially if you are a baseball card collector as I am selling my collection

the best of the best

OK, I am in....first you go to vax line and show ID and vax card, or pay to get a test and then you go to the badge line and let me tell you, very excited crowd, room looks great ( got a preview) this is a SOLID show without the crowds being overwhelming. It it for SURE worth a attend if you can...more later

solid 1.6 M my estimate

They should bring a bunch of preview stuff which will be great to look at in person, I am leaning on going just for that

It appears HA is on board with this show, will be there is full force...that is positive news. Any body else going???

I understand you would take a chance, my view why should I when I know I am going into a sub-par event and can wait to next year for the real deal, its not about the $25 UBER fee there to the $20 overpriced lunch etc, it a matter yours and mine time....I do not see it other than a waste and I got free pass.....who would of ever thought I would turn down a SDCC...it not really a Wonder con or SDCC....its a mini con

With record prices today at HA, who knows where the Superman 1, and A1 and Whiz#2 will go. This could be a new price point barrier broken for all 3 great GA books......for all 3 books...This is a preview of things to come, Ha could break another record auciton, and for sure the yearly record total. after a first day total of $9,580,800.00

The Cap #1 price is astounding....the secret is out, all these years on these boards I have said Cap#1 is the best GA buy out there, after today I will need to think about this, yes it is great book, but wow if you know of someone who has one and does not follow Ha you might want to pull the trigger NOW. Part 1 of promse broke over 4 Million....Ha is a 800 pound gorilla and unstopable.

cover went for 52K...nice price, nice art

I am a local, and this looks pure and simple as a money grab by SDCC. This is a joke of con, I cannot understand why they did it, parking etc is nightmare, so I usually go from the stadium which has been destoryed......wow, I am debatng whether to go, and I have free tickets and local.....it kind of like a mini-me of san diego......

I would estimate in todays market 50K provided the pages were not brittle.

The spinner rack played a very important role for me as a beginning collector, each week or maybe two times per week a different store, I can remember like yesterday at the drug store spinner rack in San Mateo looking at FF Ann#1....and saying to my mom we have get this, I took it home and it blew my mind, one of the best or not the best marvel annuals of all time, only 25 cents...like yesterday. The spinner racks, you had to be there to understand the joy and unknown each week of going and discovering.

the art to this cover is going to be sold at ha this week in the signature auction.

If they are going to be competitive they need to respond before the end of the month

The reason why I say underpriced, based upon the history in terms of golden age hero’s and the golden age universe and I totally did not agree with that” captain marvel is dead” quite the contrary I enjoyed the new movie and look forward to the sequel. In the total golden age context Captan Marvel is in the top 5… now price wise it is not…. But I predict there is great potential for this book and captan marvel #1 with jack kirby art, I think eventually and historically these two books will catch up… quality always rises to the top over time… and for the $$$ in today’s hectic market… what a great bang for the buck, especially added to the fact that this book in 6.0 blue is very rare…. I think when buying GA comic books, especially this one it is a leap of faith when purchasing a book which is five or six figures. So my opinion is buy the book and take rarity and grade and label into consideration, but historically you cannot go wrong with greatness time will be very kind to these great GA classics Captain Marvel is one the greatest golden age hero’s alive, or frozen like Steve Rogers and FYI…he is not dead period.

From an early GA collectors standpoint, I would say 1972...73 Irving Bigman, who was a very famous GA comic book dealer would bring his Action 1 and Whiz 2 with him to conventions. Early on, Whiz 2 was neck and neck with Action #1, with the overall numbers and I asked him after going up to his room and him letting be flow thru A1, Whiz #2 they did not mind it, which is better, his answer I never forget his answer, no one is better but Whiz 2 is rarer. I consider the origin story of Whiz #2 one of the greatest if not second greatest stories and art in the GA period. That was so good in my opinion, everything that came after that was not on that level. If you have not read or looked at this story for a long time, check it out on the web.... In answering your question, I consider Whiz #2 the most underpriced GA comic book today. It never caught up, the rarity factor helped keep the price down, because of the less sales of the book vs A1 or D27. Dont get be wrong, I still am a champ for Cap #1 as the best GA buy out there in the long run, as the difference between 1938...1939 and 1941 in terms of years difference fades away Cap #1 and the year 1941 stigma vs Marvel 1939 etc. The cover and origin story for Whiz #2 is just fantastic, and that is why collectors, especially older collectors respect this book, its the man that beat superman at the newsstands and over time, will reclaim the proper value and recognition it deserves.

any idea/ guesses about what price this will bring?.......record price for the title? One of my favorite GA origin stories....

Looks like Dec 16 for the superman #1, December 14 for the 3.0 Action 1, but most interesting is the new addition of Whiz 2 (1) with a 6.0 grade blue label...WOW...that is very rare also.....what a way to end the year for CC.
