TMNT #1 for sale CGC 7.5.  The first in the thread wins over any negotiations.  I am asking $3600 plus shipping to either the US or international.  This is the same as last sale for this grade on GPA.  I will also be at NYCC, and can hand deliver the book at the convention.  I have been selling for a long time on eBay, and can provide a link to my feedback if necessary.  Thanks again for looking.

If you piece out say an Action #1 or Tec #27, the hero pages are great but who would want most of the rest of the pages as single sheets? A centerfold sure, but a single sheet of one of the other stories???

And coverless comics are great. I was just over at a friends house who wanted to scan some early DC's for research and I brought a whole box full. It was nice to check them out and scan them without the fear of damage. The covers on most of them are pretty lame any way.

I bought a later page from Action #1, it was mostly because it was my only opportunity to afford a piece of history.  I wish I could have got one with Superman on it too.

I would do just about anything to get a Tec 27, even just a page.

I feel the same way, I just wanted to own a piece of history.  It will be cool to have even a slab that says Action Comics #1 in my display. 

I will post a picture of the Action One page I bought tomorrow.  Here are the two other pages I picked up.  I bought them this way.  I did not, nor would never grade an individual page.  I would grade a coverless comic though.

Here's my near complete copy of Superman 1 and my favorite page from it.

I love page 7 of Superman #1, but ended up picking up page 6 as it was more affordable for my collection.

Not a fan of graded single pages.  Will never buy one for my collection no matter what it cost.  Like most, also against peeling away single pages of a whole book and sell the pages individually.  I've seen some pages sell for a lot more than practically half of the whole book or so just for monetary gains.  I despise people who practice this. Coverless comics are A-OK.

These books will never be in my price range, so it was my only chance to own a piece of them.

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)

I got page 23 of Action #1, and page 6 of Superman #1.  I saw that page 7 of Superman #1 cost a couple thousand, and that was too much for me.

I recently picked up a page to Batman #1, and Action Comics #1.  I never thought I would just buy one page to any comic, but these two issues are a little out of my price range complete.  Has anyone else just bought a page?  I am excited to own a piece of both of these comics honestly.  I Look forward to hearing what you have to say.

That's an awesome intro to Golden Age. Welcome to the boards!

Thank you, I felt very fortunate to have been able to pick it up.  My past collecting experience has always centered of the later ages of comics, I want to learn and collect this era.  I just don't know enough about it, beyond the obvious.  I look forward to learning from you all.

Welcome to the boards Brian! The GA thread is where the cool kids hang out! 

Thank you.  I just hope to learn about this era of comics some more.  I have mostly been a silver/bronze collector, but love the overall artwork of some of the golden age books.  I have alot to learn about this time frame.

Great book and welcome to the boards!

Thank you very much.  I really look forward to making some more collecting friends.  It seems FB is more a place for quick pictures.  I hope to get involved in some deeper conversations about the hobby I enjoy.

I was lucky to pick up a nice Captain America #4.  I am taking a break from collecting groups on FB, so I hope to get to know more people on the boards.
