  1. The Cap 1 on CC got me thinking. I know it won't come close to an AC 1 or Tec 27 but I'm curious as to the record holders and where the next closest book comes in at....
  2. I wouldn't be surprised--would love to see it. Cap 1 continues to get its due ......Argument for and against why Cap 1 is the "number 3" book in the hobby ??
  3. That's a real nice looking coverless copy. I'm going with 10k.
  4. That Cap 1 is sweet. Love the spash page through the slab
  5. a boardie picked u the bat story in tec 27 a few years back (albeit restored) and being piecemealed out wasn't out of the question. I inquired about page 3
  6. My favorite page also, The Cover Swipe......page 5 in AC 1 and page 7 in Supes 1
  7. what pages did you acquire? Personally, I'm interested in 3 single slabbed pages (would have to be unrestored as well) 1. Action Comics #1 pg 1 (origin page) 2. Action Comics #1 pg 5 (cover swipe) 3. Detective Comics #27 pg 3 (large panel with The Batman in picture and text)
  8. Came across some stellar SA/BA Wonder Woman Cover art (multiples) along with some SA/BA Marvel interiors via an inheritance New to the OA game (Im a GA comic guy) but would love some insight via PM as to FMV PS .... I'm in Chicago and have it with me for those of you already in town for WW........Thanks !
  9. New to this thread--not an OA guy. Came across a beautiful 12 cent cover OA WW #177. The Amazon ready to due battle with Kara front and center (if I knew how to upload pic I would) I can send to someone to review. Trying to get FMV. Seller has no idea what it's worth. Please help !!!
  10. Welcome to GA ! It is addicting! The closest shop to you it sounds like is in Kenosha . A store called Inner Child. Owner is Dr Steve Kahn. Fantastic and honest guy (Overstreet Advisor too BTW). It's not a GA store per say but he is always looking and might end up with some depending on what inventory he brings in week to week. He is a collector too and has GA so he might be interested in selling some of his personal collection (can't hurt to ask). Are you looking to travel into the City at all ? I'm sure you are aware of WW in Rosemont next week --a plethora of GA if you haven't been.....
  11. Anyone ever see one of these raw or slabbed ever? Never came across one.....
  12. Thanks Burntboy, I've had the same questions GPA still has this book being sold at $10,800.
  13. Which restoration/ pressing services will be there this year ? The usual suspects ? (Matt Nelson, Joey, etc.) ??
  14. Houston isn't really what I call a "City" (it's just a bunch of land) If we annexed everything too we'd "grow" (and that's quite the skyline they have there btw ) Don't even get me started on that hick Metroplex
  15. I also cannot think of anything other than a .5 blue. On the same topic I have a NG Qualified with a married front cover and most of the insides--just picked up a back cover--how many pages inside do I need to qualify for a .5 ??
  16. Never realized he knocked the guy off the girder. 2nd Robin --so cool. yet another Robin Tec before bats 1
  17. CGC doing on site grading again this year? Just assumed they would be but it is not mentioned on their home page
  18. If that is the case I'm curious to see if their is an affect on AA 16 and Flash 1 after the movie comes out myself.......
  19. on the AS 3 above. Is that a stronger price than's been seen as of late ? If yes, why do you think ? Movie effect ??
  20. Let's be honest, isn't the original Bat 1 kind of a reprint
  21. Awesome. Your right --1.5 Someone on the boards said that 12k was going to look like a bargain one day. Amazing
