Yeah. I have a low grade run up to #300 but I've been debating about upgrading some the truly rough copies.

Thanks! I have this one slated to arrive over the weekend. 😁

My first golden age duck book!

I admit that I've always had a love for Marvel and the SA DC books were never as high up for me; that said, I still wanted to pick them up. It's just that the pricing never seemed to align with my wallet. Now, however, I've seen a few copies going for prices that seem pretty attainable, so it's had me thinking...

Those ducks...💕💕

I'm still in love with them! 💕💕

Curious how folks see this book's value now that DC has fallen short on the cinematic front?

I owe @Point Five for the awesome Superman #3 he hooked me up with years back

I've never seen one but always wanted one. Anyone have for their collection?

Which Action Comics / Superman covers do you find are most desirable from either a personal or collectible stance?

Wow, Mark. Can't believe you're cutting them loose. Please tell me the funds are going towards a new nerd venture?-)

Wow. That Action #21....

Yeah - I love the old Carl Barks as well as the Don Rosa covers. <3 I may do a little scouring about and see what I can find :D

LOVE the Pirates Gold cover 💕💕

I have ALWAYS loved the covers of the GA Disney Books, but given the prices, I'm forced to look at them from a collector / investor POV. With that in mind, do you believe that Disney books are an investment worth making? And if so, which one should collectors pursue (again, presupposing the collectors are already Disney fans and would enjoy the comics, too)?

@Point Five @piper Guys! Am I back? These low grades keep calling out to me! 😁

per PM

Damn, that's pretty.

@Point Five @piper - If there was a comic to draw me out of hiding, right?-)

PM sent!

I'm in!

Don't get me wrong ... I'm not sure when/if I will, but I think I'm probably more open-minded about letting it go eventually. The discussion was somewhat prompted by the fact my father-in-law is beginning to sell much of his lifelong signature collection. He knows I know a little bit about collecting, but not in the same lane. So ... he can pass the collection along, but should we ever want to sell it, we won't be able to maximize the sale of it. So, he's selling off anything from people where we have no personal affinity. In the same vein, are the kids really going to know what to do with the comics if they don't end up collecting? On the other hand, would they know what to do with a condo down in Florida on the beach? :P Plus, if we sell my collection off in 10-15 years, we can get a lot of good use out of said condo even before we retire.

I'm also kind of blown away at the rate at which this book has increased in value in the 10+ years since I bought my copy -- 10x its original purchasing price! Can you imagine how many stocks and bonds out there have shown that kind of consistent growth? Craziness. Anyhow, my wife and I used to joke about eventually selling off my collection when we're approaching retirement and using the money as a down payment towards a small condo in Florida for snowbirding (20 years from now). Given the increases, that joking may be less unrealistic after all!

Mine is a CGC SS 1.8 copy -- hasn't been raw since 2012 (?)
