Anyone know if the Dentist owns this? (the "real" Superman #1)

[action1kid]

I agree that someone not knowledible of the historical significance of this piece would be deterred by the cover missing but anyone famililiar with the tremendous historical significance of this piece[[and tremendous is putting it lightly still]will not be deterred and like I said 3 to 4 copies exsist.There will be no second chance to acquire it.

Heritages discription is appreciative of what it really is if you care to take a look.

[koollectablz]

Oh I know - I've looked. I've heard it mentioned much in the past.

 

Not being disparaging in any way. As I say - just my opinion.

 

As you're getting shot - have you managed to upgrade?

 

 

[action1kid]

?

[Aman619]

so it didnt meet reserve?

 

 

[Aman619]

frankly, as more of the history of the creation of Superman comes to popular awareness, (like the first set of strips over in GA section) this will be an increasingly special piece. I think you should hold on to it.

In every way and in every regard this is a Geppi Museum piece.One of the most worthy pieces a museum could possibly have.Read up on this piece.Its historical significance is monumental!....and alot of comicbook collectors dont know it because its so RARE and never seen.Certainly, in person anyway.

[koollectablz]

Sorry, I meant - as you are selling and given its tremendous importance to the Superman collector, I'm assuming you have upgraded to a copy with a cover?

[action1kid]

Aman,the reserve was the for sale price now listed on Clink

[tonytiger]

Off the top of my head? Over $30 K

I think it went for something like $45,000 at Heritage. And it topped out at $4400 on Comiclink. That makes no sense.

you cannot upgrade to a copy with a cover.It is impossible.there are none left.Supermans creators printed 100 copies of this on there high school copy machine in 1932..100 copies! Thats all that were printed .there are only 3 left today.not even a prayer of upgrading.The only time condition is not relevent in my mind is when something is one of a kind and this is as close to it as there is in this comicbook field we have..3 copies,thats it...

[koollectablz]

Blimey!

 

Well the best of luck with it.

[action1kid]

I just caught a bad break at Clink.I mean,I know the book is going to sell at some point.

[koollectablz]

Oh right - not one of the 3 then?
