Wayne-Tec Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hey guys, I thought it might be interesting if we started a thread to include everyone's Golden Age coverless grails. While I both realize and appreciate the devotion to high grade comics, I have noticed that there are a number of collectors like myself who would rather spend each and every penny they have to acquire the most key Golden Age issues you could find. Obviously one has to sacrifice the quality of the book to do so but hey, you can't always be picky when it comes to books of this caliber. I will begin by putting up my Coveless/Incomplete (cfo) copy of Sub Mariner Comics #1 in the hopes that others will follow and display some amazing key coverless GA issues...

I remember having a shot at a complete (but coverless) Subby #1 for $200 back in 1996... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne-Tec Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 A complete Detective Comics # 27 is out of reach for me so I settled on this. It is missing the front cover only,,,, This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Obviously I've seen high grade copies, etc. but it is really nice to see a somewhat (allow me to stress "somewhat") affordable copy of an AMAZING comic like that. Thanks for sharing!

Wayne-Tec Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Bill Everett's origin of Amaz-Man #5 came out around Aug/39 before Marvel #1: Burgos, Everett Marvel Comics 1 (1939): Both are amazing books but I had to check my eyes to be sure...that's a CGC'd Marvel Comics #1? Words could not describe how beautiful that book is. Do you own that copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicdonna Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I guess my first wrap of Action #1 fits into this thread. It may be all I am able to get of this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark88 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 OK, here is another Tec 27 missing front cover only: Batman 1 is more affordable though: Aaahhh, I can smell the pages of this low grade trash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark88 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Remember comics are for reading otherwise how would you know Batman 1 is a Joker classic? Decent page quality too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-Tec Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 This thread is coming along far better than I expected. It is simply amazing to see low grade copies of books like these. The Action Comics #1 wrap most certainly belongs in this thread. I'll be sure to throw up a pic of my lone pannel from Superman #1 after get it uploaded into my PC.
