no, that is very reasonable...

Thanks fellas! You should see the book in hand, looks much better than a 5.0 Swapto is one of the best guys around, he even sold me this at the price he paid!

I might be joining the club very very very soon

it was an 8.0 restored copy, and that one looks like it, but as mentioned, I inquired, and never heard a peep back on price?...even emailed V directly... guess I am "out"

i really find it hard to believe a serious long time collector like Rick sends an email directly to the seller about buying an Action Comics #1 and doesnt even get e response back.

metro are UNBELIEVABLE!!!

anyone know what happened to metro's 8.0 restored action 1?

it was there a couple of days ago...

wow.

some big books have really been coming out of the woodwork recently...

Most of these are incomplete but the covers are so nice I thought I would put them in a group shot. Most are new except for More Funs and Adventure 35.

 

great group all around, but the top left entry is about as good as it gets.

 

I was thinking bottom left

funny, for me it's top right

awesome books BB.

all star covers rock my world!

thank you for your kind words guys.

Nicely done, Ben. What's next?

i haven't really thought of that until now, gary....

i've always been partial to more fun comics 30 - 51

thanks peter. i knew you would like it

it is not 'complete' yet...

Hello my friends and fellow golden age comic collectors,

Compared to most of you I have not been collecting GA for long.

Actually, I bought my first GA comic back in 2007. Action Comics #2 with some help from Rick (Gator).

Since then I was hooked.

I started spending all of my available money on collecting Golden Age Comics, in particular GA DC comics.

That is when I became interested in the New Adventure / Adventure comics run.

I was drawn to the beautiful Flessel art, the choice of colors and the rarity of most of the books from #1 - #39.

So I decided to try and collect the run from #12 - #39.

This is the forth time I have tried to put this run together.

Over the years things have come up, both good and bad, needing me to sell my collection and try and start again at a later time.

I’m sure if you look back through the threads you can see all of this unfold.

Now, after just receiving the #24 in the mail today, I finally feel I have gotten to a point where I am super happy with my run. It is the strongest it has ever been and (almost) complete.

Aside from my #13 needing a few wraps (including cover) and a #32, I have my long awaited New Adventure/Adventure run, and what better thread to post it in.

This run you see below could not, in no way shape or form, have been put together without the fine help of these boards and certain awesome board members.

I would like to thank, in no particular order:

Rick (Gator)

Phil (VTcomics)

Colin (comicdey)

Bill (goldenacase)

Ronaldo (Socratic Wonder)

George (Palamas)

Andy (October)

Peter (RareHighGrade)

Jerome (jerome34)

Tim(ACME)

And without a doubt the wonderful Brian (TheGoldenAge)

I look forward to seeing more books posted in this thread and to one day completing this run by obtaining a #13 and a #32

Thank you,

Ben Oakley
