Who Stole this? WOW ! should have been 20k plus http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sensation-Comics-1-CGC-7-5-Off-White-Wonder-Woman-DC-Golden-Age-Comic-/232234213521?hash=item36123ce091:g:IGAAAOSwtfhYnCUK

Kirby's cover on AF 15 is a turn off for me - much prefer the unused Ditko version... I had no idea! Very cool... https://comicstalkblog.com/archives/5318 BUT, I actually like Kirby's cover better. I did not know that either. cool

I love both covers ! #1's cover is iconic. I did not realize "alot of people dont like AMS #1's cover" I need a Valiant man formula or something. The simplest way to look at it would be to look at average copies. The highest grades are a different animal with their own market. Just talking about ASM #1 possibly being undervalued would be across all grades. An average (universal) copy of each of the big 3 would be: Action #1, CGC 4.17, about $700,000 Detective #27, CGC 4.85, about $600,000 Amazing Fantasy #15, CGC 3.63, about $15,000 Now, look at the average (universal) copy of the regular series #1s... Superman #1, CGC 2.61, about $150,000 Batman #1, CGC 3.51, about $125,000 ASM #1, CGC 3.98, about $5,000 We're seeing 21% for the average Superman #1 vs. Action #1. We're seeing 21% for the average Batman #1 vs. Detective #27. We're seeing 33% for the average ASM #1 vs. AF #15. Now, we could argue that ASM #1 deserves to be 33% because the other two books aren't second appearances, but the 2nd appearances of Superman and Batman aren't 33% of the first appearances either. Looking at the Big 3, an argument could be made that ASM #1 is not undervalued vs. AF #15. Should ASM #1 fall closer to 21%, or should AF #15 increase if ASM #1 stays steady? Different debate. Between Superman #1, Batman #1, and ASM #1, it's probably the Superman #1 that is underpriced. There are only 50 universal copies for Superman #1 compared to 97 for Batman #1, but you can get an "average" copy of Superman #1 (about CGC 2.6) for about the same price as an "average" copy of Batman #1 (about CGC 3.5). Assuming the Batman #1 isn't going down, it's the Superman #1 that probably needs to increase on average since there are half as many of them. +100 thanks !

Undervalued as a comparison to the other 2 situations ! AMS #1 highest or second highest graded seems to be 20 percent of the cost of a similar graded Amazing fantasy #15 But the other two #1's (Batman & Superman) seem to be in the 30 percent or higher range as compared to there first appearance counter parts. Its hard to have exact data on the golden age copies they are much rarer. What would an 8.0 Tec #27 sell for in this market? What would an 8.0 Superman #1 sell for?

I am not a big thread starter. I would really like to hear some opinions on this topic. I look back on Superman and Batman and see a very similar situation as Spider-man. All three first appearances happened in another title (as I am sure you know!) All 3 Hero's went on as #1's, anchoring very long runs. All three are at the top as far as most popular super hero's ever. The biggest difference is the tiny golden age availability compared to Spider-man books that are abundant. Demand for all 3 seems unstoppable (even with the more available Spider-Man books) Both Superman's and Batman's #1's are very serious high value books and very rare. Will spider-man #1 ever be a huge book and looked at as undervalued during this time period? What do you think? Are these 3 even comparable?

+1 real cheap slabs.

Retro was very easy to deal with I purchased a CGC book and received it fast . No hesitation dealing with him !

+1 nice

No more photo-bucket?

Yardley was great to deal with ! bought a couple of raw books and his grading was spot on ! Thanks.

Chay was very easy to deal with ! Great customer service ! trusted board member !

This was CGC's Stance on the GCS first appearance This is CGC response: "Gotham City Sirens" is the name of the series they are in, but it is not a team name like "The Avengers". So we make no special notation for it. Sincerely,

The college kids go to Walmart for discounted MTG card's. The school's book store will sell most modern trades ! College Kids spend there cash on Coffee, wine and beer. It will take years to truly make money. You should run a pro forma with your expected salary. At the very least you can get an estimate on your sales goals. I owned a shop for over ten years in a college town, I own multiple other bushiness . A comic store is definitely a passion, even with good business experience and work ethic its a tough business. With the state of Marvel and DC and all of the reboots and Variants I would advise Caution. Older well established big retailers do much better than new operators. If its your dream, make it happen and best of luck !

nice book !
