which one would you choose, and why ???

JIM 83 hands down--whenever I get over the AF 15, I'm back on the hunt for SA Marvel keys.

 

The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Pedigree will be complete!

TTA 27?

[PovertyRow]

Defintiely Mad 1. That is a book with real provenance. And 9.8? Not even a hint of indecision.

 

The JIM - trimmed. Have to wonder how far the trimming went and what the original grade would have been.

 

Beyond that - to me a Mad 1 has a lot more history behind it than a JIM 83.

Normally the J.I.M. without much hesitation but $22K for a trimmed SA book, no thank you.

Mad #1 cuz trimming is lame/

 

Yeah, I am really suprised how many people are siding with a trimmed comic.

 

Mad #1 for me.

Both sold for approx. $9,000 in November of '07. Which one would you choose, and why?

FF #12, not only because it's more of a grail to me, but also from an investment standpoint, a non-restored book will more times than not appreciate faster than a restored one

BTW the FF #12 9.0 recently broke the $10k mark

[comixcroz]

FF12 by far for me. Why? because of the nice blue label

[s-man]

AF 15...why? Because its an AF 15!!!!!!

[seank]

FF 12. Blue label, I like the FF more than I like Spidey, and AF 15 is likely to jump the shark (at least price-wise) in 2009.

What are the resto notes on the AF15?

My final post --- thought it would be fitting in this thread ( afterall, the OO vs. Supes thread has been locked for about 2 years )

the subprime mortgage meltdown that started in February of 2007 has continued to take its toll on me, as up until that date, I was one of the top subprime loan officers in the US (literally).

 

Now, all comics have been sold as of this month, and I can and will be buying nothing. So........know that I am "out of the hobby" ( and not by choice ),

I offer you this final 'which one would you choose?'

 

Both sold for approx. $83,000 in 2009..............

Which one would you choose, and why?
