I just noticed that book. If my schedule opens up, I'll feature it on my site on Friday, I think. Good luck with the sale.

I don't remember off-hand what spurred me to make the change, but I upgraded the book on the site a few months ago. Also, there are no 8.5s in the census.

I've got a note on the MC #1. I'll update on the Bat #1

I'm out of date, it appears. It happens. I've got a big update coming up so I'll correct (and update the San Francisco with a grade)

And this is what I get for being busy. Wow.

https://investor.apple.com/investor-relations/faq/default.aspx "What was the offering price at Apple’s initial public offering (IPO)? Apple went public on December 12, 1980 at $22.00 per share. The stock has split four times since the IPO so on a split-adjusted basis the IPO share price was $.39." (I didn't actually calculate the split -adjusted price)

The value of enjoying owning the book is real value. with this post, I'm just pointing out that there's a big gap between "you could have bought $25,000 of Apple stock and you would be a billionaire" to the fact that buying the Action #1 or Apple stock in the early 1980s actually ends up being in the same ballpark in terms of $$ returns.

I was specifically responding to a post earlier in the thread implying that buying Apple at IPO instead of the Church Action #1 would have made you a billionaire- or at least would have made you a lot more money than buying this Action #1 has theoretically "made" for Dave.

Standing up for comics for a minute... Dave didn't do as well as he would have if he'd bought Apple at the time and somehow had the dedication to hold it for for nearly 40 years, but he did pretty well. Split-adjusted, Apple's IPO share price was .39 cents, so a $25,000 investment at IPO would have bought you around 640000. Held hrough many lean years (and offering less enjoyment than an Action #1 for a comic collector), those shares would be would be worth around $12,000,000 today. That doesn't take into account any dividend that Apple would have paid, but the Church Action #1 still holds up okay assuming he's enjoyed owning the book.
