    I know how to spot the differences between Action Comics 1 and it's Famous First Edition. Cover artwork differences that is, not just the size difference.

    I don't know about Superman 1. But looking at the pics, especially with the seller's hand as a size reference, this book looks big. Too big. I say it's not original.

    The back cover lack of dotted border lines makes clear this is a reprint. A real issue would have this back cover

    At what point in history did people start spending gobs of money on stuff that carried sentimental value? 

    In ancient Egypt, there were collections of books gathered throughout the world which ultimately provided some of our great primary historical sources to this day (for example the Nag Hammadi library). It is fair to say collecting has deep historical roots.

    Idk if in 50 years from now there is no more paper used ,then comics and many other things becomes artefacts of the past and is a bit more prise.

     

    I mean ive been fighting for years to have my paychecks printed on papers and now i cant anymore,where i work they stoped it altogeter so idk....comics and stamps my be collected just for that reason in less than a century from now 

    Counter-point: most art is done digitally and the hand-created vintage art market has been (mostly) healthy. Also, most people pay with plastic, and vintage physical coins are (mostly) doing well.

    The biggest defect on this book is on the back cover which really kept the grade down. The last 3.5 recorded sale on GPA was $325 and the last 4.0 was $435. Let’s go with the 3.5 price.

    Haunt of Fear #19 - $325

    Target Comics Volume 7, #2 and #8, Church Copies, bought from Weird Paper of the boards a looong time ago.  I really should have sent these in for grading but never did.

    I paid $450 combined and will pass them on for the same price, $450.

    Likely grade as 9.6s with a gentle press

    The biggest subbed SA book is FF #48 with 9,000 copies.   The book couldn't be any more hot than it currently is.   

     

    FF48 seems to be on a multi year decline in price. While it is selling, this suggests qSupply is trending ahead of qDemand. (Utilized 4.0 since its the most common, price patterns also show in other grades)
