Kansas City cgc 8.0 Action 1

[nearmint]

Now we are talking. The best looking copy I have ever seen and a pedigree to boot. Wonder how many potential Heritage bidders will be diverted with this timely release?

 

Oh hell yes. My first thought and it will lower the feverish frenzy on that Detective 27.

 

This should dampen the Tec27 price a little.

 

Which, if you had the $$, would make it wise to buy both.

kidney, liver, house, and kids will be for sale in the Market place in a bit

I am serious

would throw my wife in too, if I thought that would help

 

She a good cook?

[ajaxfarrell]

a COOL million dollars...../

 

I would start it at (2) million dollars....and take anything CLOSE to that.....

 

WOW..................we've come a LONG, LONG way....since the beginning.......

let's put it this way, all the wait staff all Olive Garden know our kids birthdays

[Marvelfangirl]

I wonder if the winner of the Tec #27 CGC 8.0 will go ahead and bid on the Action Comics #1 CGC 8.0 (if the bidder is a rich *spoon* )

I'm torn on this one. I agree with the above argument - is an 8.0 worth 3X more than a 6.0? And this will be the 5th nicest copy (the 8.5, the Larson, the Church, and the other rumored copy).

 

Nitpicking, but this copy is better than the Larson.

 

And if the bottom staple isn't rusted (many KC books are), some would argue it would be at least as good as the 8.5

 

Have you seen the Larson? The list says VFN - granted that isn't exact, but it seems like VFNs from that list could end up being FVFs or VFNMs. If it's a VF, then I'd expect the state of preservation to be better than the KC - which would trump for most.

 

And you can argue all day long about this one and the 8.5, but at the end of the day one says 8.0 and one says 8.5.

[action1kid]

Larson is no were near these books.

[Kevin76]

Is anyone on the boards going to bid on the book?

 

I thought you said you were...See Marvelgirl, you can buy yourself the Action 1 and match it with the Detective 27 you said you'll win (thumbs u

I think its very clear which book is nicer.

Which? I've never seen either up close, but the scans of the 8.5 look much fresher & brighter than the KC copy, not to mention the tear at the top of the KC. That being said, I don't like rusty staples, but supposedly the rust is minor.

[action1kid]

I agree with Gator about the rust.How much can you expect from a 72 year old paper collectible. Go to the cgc Gallery and look at the 8.5. Its a smaller image but you can still see the quality of the book.It is clearly the best cgc copy.No ifs or buts.None at all.

Very true. The rust on my Action #66 8.5 hasn't worsened in the decade-plus that I've owned it.

yeah, but I don't recommend passing as much gas on a reg comic as you likely have inert gases work best

[action1kid]

I guess its good news for the hobby but sad in a very real way too in that Action 1s Unrestored [at least higher grades] will now forever be out of the reach of people that love em the most.The true collector.I think there even pulling away from the ability of an affluent collector to attain.I think there comming into a class only the Mega Rich can attain.Maybe even were a business might buy it as an investment?

I'm not arguing that point. As I said, from what I've heard the rust is minor with no migration. Doesn't really bother me.

 

But as to your question of "how much can I expect from a 72 year old book" - if I'm ponying up $1M I expect a whole WHOLE lot.

[Dark Knight]

Best way for us to do is to pinch in as much as we can for this book so we each can own a piece of it.. Just some wishful thinking.. We can divide the covers and pages equally

If the rust dosnt stop you than thats my point.

[action1kid]

So let me understand this.

Metropolis posts the book on say[tomorrow morning] Im the first to see the listing.I press the buy it now button and Ive bought the book. Is it that simple?

 

That may not be clear to everyone.
