I agree. It's funny when I started collecting back in the early 70s, Marvel Comics 1 was a book I drooled over. Even as a youngster, I wanted a copy, knowing of course, I would not be able to sniff a copy's musty odor let alone buy one. Back in the 80s when I could afford a few low cost GA books, I was drawn to Cap 1 and it has been my holiest of grails ever since. Not that I wouldn't love to own both.
The only thing that has remained constant is I still cannot afford either and unless my long-lost relative, a Nigerian Prince, comes through, I never will
