Ok I've got one.. As some of you already know I've been selling off most of my collection over the last few months. I still need to sell off a few more books, but have reached the point where I don't want to sell any of the books I still have. Anyway, one of these two books has to go. Which would you keep, which would you sell, and why? (Restoration notes on the Flash 1 are "Color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cover cleaned, interior lightened, reinforced")

I've wondered sometimes who the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe is. Is there a definite answer for that? Is it the Living Tribunal? The Beyonder? As for regular heroes and villains, wouldn't Apocalypse be the strongest? I bet he could beat up anyone on that list pretty easily..

Also, weren't all the books used in his examples (the Action 1, AF 15 etc) from Pedigree collections? Its comparing Apples to Oranges..

Well For starters I'd say comparing a Human Torch #1 to an Action Comics 1 isn't a very fair comparison. Action Comics #1 and even Amazing Fantasy 15 to a smaller extent make sense as investments even to non-comic collectors. Try explaining to someone why you just spent $100,000+ on a Human Torch #1 however, and most people will look at you pretty funny. I'd also say that if someone buying that Human Torch #1 for 3.4x guide value has to wait 10 to 20 years for the book to be worth what they paid for it, they aren't really getting a good deal. Wouldn't that be like someone trying to sell that AF15 for $125,000 back in the early 90s or asking $1mil for that Action 1 back in 1980? Of course if you're looking for a Human Torch #1 in CGC 9.4 condition, you don't really have many other options at the moment If he's got the only copy he can charge whatever he damn well wants for the book .
