What Was The Most Expensive Comic You've Ever Touched?

And what was going through your mind when you had that book in your hands?

 

For me, it was an Incredible Hulk #1 CGC 9.0 that Harley Yee had. He just had it out front on a table with some other not so expensive stuff like a CGC Daredevil 180.

 

I picked that Hulk 1 up and I literally felt tingly all over. I'm guessing that book is worth about $20,000? I don't even know. I thought about asking him "how much for this one" just for the hel of it but then he'd probably put it on his wall. So instead I just stared at that book for a good 2 minutes I think.

 

It reminded me of when I shared an elevator with Jessica Alba once. I was thinking "Wow, this could be the most beautiful girl I'll ever see," and I was thinking about how that Hulk was the nicest book I'd ever see and touch.

 

How about you? Any of you ever held a Tec 27, Action 1 or other super grail and what were you thinking when you had it in your hands?

 

why hold them, when you can own them :baiting:

Very recently I bought a More Fun #52 from Gary Stephens. It is a nice 5.5 OW Pages. He also had/has a complete run of Action 1 - 10.. The Action #1 was a solid 7.5 OW/White pages 100% Original, Un Restored. A few of the other Action Book's were restored with minor color touch. I went to his place for the MF #52 Only. That's when he brought out the other books.

 

It does make a person very nervous and a bit shakey handed. But it was Awesome!!!! You have to realize that these book's are not slabbed. Every single book is raw. My More Fun 52 WILL NOT be slabbed either. It was checked out prior to my offer for any restoration.

 

So in order of being nervous and very careful.... The Action #1 :o and the More Fun #52 :cloud9::cloud9:

That's why I'm so broke now.... I have entered the installment plan on some book purchases now for the first time in my life... What a way to go.. :banana:

 

Hey TFL do you mind posting a scan on the MF#52? :popcorn: For me its a Sub-Mariner Comics #32 CGC 8.5.

Well, let's see... I've owned a Military Comics #1... a Batman #1... all of the Bronze Age keys, at one point or another... This is currently my fourth collection. In my hand, but not in my possession, I held and read an Action Comics #1, in roughly VG-ish condition, back in the early eighties... have yet to see a TEC 27 in up-close-and-personal range.
