Action comics #1 poster?

[gnat1000]

I found a sale with this listed and curious what the value might be for it.

I suspect not much, but it would look great hanging in a comic room.

agreed, little value (easy to make yourself) but would be cool to have, none the less

Cheap and easy to make at Kinkos or your local copy shop. There's a guy that sells 3'x4' posters of classic comic covers at the Boston con for about $15/ea. I'd expect to pay a little more for a one-off at a copy shop, $20-$40 maybe.

 

They are color but non-glossy. I have an AF15 mounted on foamcore which looks fine in my studio. A little cheap looking for a nice home or apartment, but great in a comics room.

they are saying it's an original advertising poster from 1938

Of course they are.

My first reaction is: "Who would such an item be intended for?" There were no comic shops. A newstand would not have room nor would a drugstore. My gut says 99% chance it's not what they say it is. But to be certain, you might ask Action1kid to chime in. He's tops in the Superman ephemera game.

I'm pretty sure this poster was once owned by Joe Shuster. Also, if you look at the back of it with 3-D glasses, a map is revealed that leads you to the current location of the Reilly Nedors, the lost trunk of Rockfords, and the Arc of the Covenant.

politely respond that DC did not make any advertising posters in 1938 (thumbs u

Ahh..but you forget... you have to use the decoder pin from Orphan Annie to understand what it is you see through the 3-D glasses.

i was at the auction with the poster. it looks to be pretty old. was folded at one time. folded into quarters. if folded looks to be be the size of a comic book. an insert maybe? lot of age and wear. looks and feels to old to be a copy. definately no a recent copy.
