I'm very glad that some of you like the box I made. I wanted to make comic book boxes that would be very sturdy and last a lifetime, but would also to be beautiful to look at, and unique. This was my first effort, and I'm pleased with the results. Here is a look from a couple other angles.

My comic book box.

I read this thread with interest, since I just acquired a large Fiction House collection that includes an Okajima book. I didn't see this one listed. - Lee Hester Lee's Comics of California

About 3 years after this picture was taken, Action #1 was released. I wonder how many were printed, and how widely they were distributed? If you were in the right place, at the right time, you (or, rather, your granddad) could have bought it for a dime. And then, if he had the vision and foresight, and you were a very good boy, he could have saved it for YOU, his favorite grandson! And today you would be a millionaire. Or a collector that puts Nic Cage to shame. Here's some questions for the experts: Are there any legitimate pictures of Action #1 for sale on a newsstand? What are the earliest comic books pictured for sale? What is the most valuable vintage comic book shown for sale on a newsstand?

I'm hoping that someone can produce the original photo as it looked before the Action #1s were photoshopped in.

Not so fast. It's quite a coincidence that Action Comics #1 is the only comic book showing. And it just happens to be front and center. The rest are magazines. And those Action #1's are the same size, not comic book size. Probably fake. Probably not even the correct time period if one knew the on sale date of the magazines shown.

I don't think you'll find anyone desperate to sell a Spider-Man #1. They sell rather well. I guy asked about a 1.8 and I happened to have one.

If you're looking to join this great clubhouse, I've got a 1.8 on ebay right now. It's just back from the fine folks at CGC. No reserve. It's currently at 1,300. I think it's a good deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-SPIDER-MAN-1-CGC-1-8-Universal-OW-Pages-Marvel-Comics-1963-/381051554879?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT - Lee
