Great book!

 I love the JIM/Thor run, so go get ‘em!

Speaking of the run I’m considering. Beautiful books

This is really interesting, both in macro and for the board itself. Action 10 seems weirdly underrepresented, despite having the highest print run of (at least) the first ten issues.

Thanks. I’m still trying to get the production numbers for 11-24, but I’m running into inconsistency issues on a consensus of the number as a whole. I’ve also thought about breaking these issues down further with price comparisons from the 70s until now, other pop numbers and possibly start the cross referencing further.

Beautiful book, and congratulations. Welcome to the boards as well.

That would be upto the seller. I’ve seen signed copies have $250 added and I’ve seen others ask for the moon 

Thank you

Strong signatures and not faded and verified at least 2X...but value is very subjective, Superman #100 is a very strong choice.

It's an Action #100 I edited my previous post; The signatures are very legible and thier on the interior splash it's a CBCS book verfied by Beckett. I just want to know who much those two signatures are worth together.

My opinion is the value would be tied to what GA comic book it is....Superman #1 or Superman #68...how significant is that particular book in terms of GA/SA comic book collecting, and then of course what condition is the book restored or unrestored a lot of factors here to consider. 

Action Comics #100 4.0

If you can find one...grab it

The owner, who's a good friend has it and (I want an estimate) of what FMV is for both thier signatures; excluding the book on top of that; He is a store owner as well; it's the first time we've both seen it happen (both signatures)

If verified, I’d think quite a bit.  They both passed away in the 90’s, before the advent of holders, much less signing events.  So, Siegel & Shuster’s autographs as represented on graded books is bound to be less common than other GA creators of the era. The key to any autograph’s value is proper signature verification.  In a sense, the autographs become a part of provenance.  

I’m not sure what the current grading policy is on historic signatures.  Does the CGC verify signatures?  

No CGC still needs to see it, I believe. CBCS who uses Beckett on the other hand can see this occur because of their verification process through Beckett. I’ve actually come across a CBCs graded Superman #100 which CBCS verified Seigel and Shuster autos. Thank why I asked. I never seen it before, anywhere

How much would a dual autograph of Siegel & Schuster were on a GA, Superman how much hypothetically would it add to the value of that comic?

I really love O'Mealia's art, particularly the handful of covers he did for DC. He has a lot of fantastic art hidden inside some of the early pre-hero DC titles too. Great grab on the Action 6!!! 

Yes, he definitely has done some amazing comic work; he has also some of his stuff at the  National Baseball Hall of Fame, 2 pieces on display one of which recounts the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, did some Eisenhower stuff as well.

Yes, taking every precaution.

only 3 customers allowed in the store at the same time, must be wearing a mask, and they have plastic shielding all around the counters; hand sanitizers at the door and by the register.

4.0

Beautiful book

I think he is very underrated personally, his early Action work is structured and beautiful. And been inspiration for other artists and covers

Why are Action #4-6 not considered monsters? They have O’Mealia cover art, the covers are top notch and some of the early stories are note worthy (#6 Jimmy Olsen esp.) this question can include (8-9) as well. All the focus appropriately is on 1,2, 7, 10... but I feel 4,5,6,8,9 are all undervalued and appreciated by the industry.

• So I decided to go through the thread and catalog where we stand from boardies on the Early Action "run"; most the books posted were raw (I personally like that because while you have an investment/important piece of comic history. You can also read it and enjoy yourself)
• There where also 22 other early Action books were the picture was no longer available so these numbers do not reflect those copies.
• 200 copies (#1-24) within the thread.

1. Action 1 - 10 copies, then 8 single pages
2. Action 2 - 8 copies
3. Action 3 - 6 copies
4. Action 4 - 9 copies
5. Action 5 - 8 copies
6. Action 6 - 6 copies
7. Action 7 - 7 copies
8. Action 8 - 7 copies
9. Action 9 - 5 copies
10. Action 10 - 4 copies
11. Action 11 - 5 copies
12. Action 12 - 8 copies
13. Action 13 - 7 copies
14. Action 14 - 12 copies
15. Action 15 - 13 copies
16. Action 16 - 9 copies
17. Action 17 - 11 copies
18. Action 18 - 10 copies
19. Action 19 - 11 copies
20. Action 20 - 12 copies
21. Action 21 - 7 copies
22. Action 22 - 8 copies
23. Action 23 - 8 copies
24. Action 24 - 9 copies

So with the addition of @Primetime and @MrBedrock beautiful books and amazing original art  we are now at a combined total of 200 Action (#1-24) I will do my best to keep this updated on a monthly basis from here forward. I myself will be adding one more to the ledger before weeks end.
