  1. I have a Detective Comics #35 back cover (Hypo needle cover) and a Batman #1 1940 trimmed back cover, both can be seen on Ebay. I need a Batman#1 page one complete with all art or a Superman #1 centerfold and would take either in trade for the #35 back cover or 1 or the other as part trade for the Batman #1 back cover.
  2. It has the correct back cover, just not the one matching that exact front, meaning it likely came off an Action Comics #12 which is all the same ie. same Johnson Dept # etc. If as I suspect, one of the big dealers bought it though ... no worries ... it will magically match now when restored / conserved! ... No stinkin married labels for us!
  3. There is another Action #1 origin page on Ebay trimmed ... I did a double take when I saw the listing's $60k OBO price ... who knows now though ?!?
  4. Those sold for multiples less than the bid already ... don't ask ... I won't say, but you can probably find mention of the covers around facebook somewhere if you search and ask the seller. The owners dad had put them away in the 80's I guess and passed away and his son dug them out with a coverless Action #10 and #13 a Wonder Woman #1 coverless and other stuff. He had sold some stuff to this same current seller ( I assume ) prior and I suspect he may have sold a coverless Action #12 and kept and matched the back cover to this Det #27 front not knowing since he isn't really a collector.... thus the right back cover, just married from an Action #12. I tried to buy / trade for these covers, but it was a deal where this seller was talking to a buyer and the buyer was his best buddy in the world now type of thing lol. I don't beg and grovel to buy stuff so in the cut throat world of expensive comic stuff I usually just miss out. None of it is really that rare or awe inspiring for me regardless of being able to afford stuff or how cool it is. I won't run stuff up to get it or whatever or help others price their books by being an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. That being said, of-course I would have liked to have gotten them to hold onto as I will never buy a complete Action #1 or Detective #27 just for the amount of money I would have to tie up in something like that that could do other things. I'm going to guess they go for $125,000
  5. I tried to buy this off of facebook about a year ago the guy had it advertised as being a cover that his dad had kept, with a coverless action #10 and coverless wonder woman #1 and some other stuff. He said he ended up selling it to a "true collector" ... I said yea ... it will be for sale somewhere married to a book or by itself, within a year ... I am never wrong!
  6. The kind of stuff I love, congrats on your awesome find! To me personally, if you marry it to an interior and it's all original parts combined, it's way less expensive to own and looks great! Good luck in whatever you choose to do with it!
  7. Would consider trades / partial trades and cash for ... Nice front covers for Action Comics #7 #10 and #13 Batman #1 front cover and first wrap Nice covers and centerfold for Batman #3 Superman #1 decent covers and centerfold. Whiz #1 with front cover or covers set Superman #2 coverless complete nice or complete front cover Superman #3 clean complete back cover
  8. Yea, it's nuts ... the 3.0 the other day auctioned was a prime example as to the difference from front to back!
  9. New 7.0 just listed at $995,000 on Comic Link exchange ... that should get that .5 to $85,000 ... good lord!
  10. Exactly, would be curious to see what the original book looked like.
  11. It is up to 28% max, not 28% ... it's progressive at the regular tax brackets rates up to 28% max and then stops and then the 3.8 possibly.
  12. The good ole days again ... maybe? ... I personally hope that this brings more people back to flea markets and comic and toy shows for in person selling and trading, but we'll see.
