Chicago Boy

My very first big book back in the 70,s. Love this cover / story / art. What’s the highest graded of these bad boys ?

Action 1 and Marvel 1 were and still are king it appears.

Is that Ron Jeremy I can’t see it in my phone ? What is that ?? Just as shocking as those prices ! What year was this ??

Never seen that one before !

I’d rather talk about the 4.0 Blue in the Bay and how the moment nice elusive Supes 1 has been to market “quite a bit “ lately. It’s census numbers sure have increased dramatically in the past couple of years.

How has the market treated this book in the last 5 years ? Demand? Pricing? It seems to have lost a lot of luster in that time frame ? Impt. Book , great story/issue nonetheless.

PGX 😬😳. Another Boardie who knows his stuff pointed out that that back cover at CC for sake could easily come from an Action Comics #12. I don’t think there is any way of knowing where it came from. PGX is worse than I had originally thought. I knew about the overgrading and missing Resto but saw some interesting videos on down right fraud. I have a unrestored certified back cover that was taken off a Tec 27 CGC 1.0 last sold on Heritage ( if anyone cares ). Can’t imagine paying 2500 for a possible Action 12 back cover unless you needed it for a Resto job

Go for the Action 1 !!!!!

What was missing again ? And what was resto ? Sorry I already forgot

Solid price.

I see your point. I just have a hard time with that one for some reason. I always felt trimming wasn’t Resto myself but damaging the physical property of the book

Whoops 😬! I do now. Action 1 always gives me chills like no other book —just reading that eBay description even with the restoration. Too bad you can’t reverse a cover clean dammit

Missing CF is a 150k book Id say. Maybe even 200k

Curious how many coverkess competes or almost complete with Supes story are out there ?

Any idea who owns this one ( same owner as the Tec 27 ) ?

Outsell Action Comics 1000? Action Comics sold 502k making it the biggest selling book of 2018

Any new hammer guesses with a little over a day to go ? Not much movement as of late .....

Over 50k. Hope Hudson is in the running ......

I think that’s a huge plus for the coverless Action 1s , Tec 27, Cap1s , Bat and Supes 1 -the cool intro pages

I’ve had Cap 1 my number 3 for a while because I thought Marvel deserved some love and bat 1 at 4. I go back and forth if AS 8 deserves to be in the top 5. I think no wonder woman on the cover leaves it out. I also think pep 22 desserts and not somewhere because of the scarcity factor Others like MF 73, 816, flash comics one have her wear them selves available and more abundant in the marketplace over the last four years where as a pep 22 continues with relatively low census number

I’m with you for the first 2 ....I think it gets really muddy after that and there are a lot of non fiscal arguments after that. What I find interesting of your top 5 listed above is that all those books have the featured character on the cover ( abc are classic covers ). Any interest in rating just the covers from an iconic standpoint ? ( I’ve got Tec 27 at #5). If you throw MC 1 into the mix why not DC 1 ?? Just askin.....

Price.....Yes Demand ? Availability ?? Market bs OSPG ??

That would make 2 AC 1’s and 3 Tec 27’s .......

#14 but I’d rather own #3 any day of the week. Spidey #3 was my first big book ! Thought I would never get closer to an AF 15 than that one day

I think it’s a 100k book myself.
