  1. if you had a magic way of determining exactly how many copies have survived to this day That would be awesome, totally awesome!
  2. 2000-3000 just seems like a lot. for valuable book like tec 38, the average joe who inherits or attic finds this book is looking at "found money" and this book is coming to market right away to be purchased by serious collectors - do you really think 2000-3000 collectors own this book?
  3. I would say it is much closer to 1000 than 200 (thumbs u prove it! i think your estimate is good - amazing considering the hundreds of thousands of copies that were printed that so few remain. i wish my grandparents had bought a stack of comics!
  4. i think it's between 200-250 max. the book came out in 1940, the wartime paper drives consumed most of the comic books of that era.
  5. Action 1 hands down - restored keys are the way to go!
  6. to quote a long departed board member - RESTORED KEYS IS THE WAY TO GO!
  7. let's say it's $750K unrestored, then the restored at $83K is only 11% of the unrestored price - that is a BIG haircut!
  8. i would take action 1 in any condition any day that is an awesome looking copy $83,000 seems like a good price - what would an unrestored 7.5 go for - $500,000???
  9. does the art for the cover to this book still exist - i'd like to see that!
  10. how much was the collection bought for?
