Point Five Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cleaning out the closet over the past few days and came across the list of comics from the More Fun Collection, it included my asking prices at the time. My there were some early-ish Action bargains at the time. Wish I still had these! 6 FA $520 9 VG $1300 11 VG- $1000 12 FN+ 1600 13 VG $1300 14 VG+ $965 16 VG/FN $800 17 GD- $440 18 GD/VG $480 19 VG+ $980 20 VG+ $875 21 VG+ $750 22 VG+ $525 23 GD $1000 24 VG $475 25 GD+ $240 26 VG $325 27 VG- $300 28 VG $325 29 FN- $1000 (Cosmic Aeroplane copy) 30 FN/VF $675 31 VG/FN $315 32 VG $250 33 VG+ $350 34 VF- $800 35 VG- $225 36 FN+ $525 37 FN $600 38 GD/VG $185 39 FN+ $525 40 FN+ $525 41 FN $395 42 VG $395 Some of these would still be applicable pricing now, but many would be fine bargains now. I priced them aggressively back then, but they all sold Could you check again, Bill to see if you still might have The #9, #13, and #16? And check for that Fine+ #12 while you're in the neighborhood, maybe it's still kicking around. I misplace those all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mt1000 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Great set Mike! When did you manage to pick up the Action #2? The end of May. WOW amazing collection.

I believe the 5th? wrap sold for $6300 I wouldn't trade the first wrap for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remark Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 [/img] Hi all, I haven't been on these boards for quite awhile, but came across this book this week from a craigslist seller. I was looking for a thread here to get some feedback from about it, and this looks like the perfect group. I tried to check it as best as I could for any restoration, and couldn't find any (not that I am that qualified to spot any).The biggest flaw is that it has a split spine at the top and bottom, although the section between the staples is fine.What do you all think? I thought better to show it here than the "Buddy can you spare a grade" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibou Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It looks really nice to me but a little difficult to tell with the cropped scan. If you could rescan it with a back cover too and leave a good 1/4" or so on all sides, I'm sure we could all give a better opinion. Also, how much of the spine is split on the top and bottom? I'd be curious to hear how it was listed or described on craigslist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to hear how it was listed or described on craigslist... Sorry-I am not sure why my scanner cut off the edge-I will try to rescan. This book wasn't one of the books advertised for sale-There were a few boxes of later books (Bronze,Modern and a few Silver) but when i went to see those, the seller mentioned that there were a few older books in a separate suitcase of her father's that she had found. Among those were this book, a Wonder comics #9, a Boy Comic #19 and a Captain Marvel #38.I had to ask her to look again and see if there were any more (unfortunately not). The spine is torn to the staple, top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remark Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 [/img] [/img] I hope this is a little better.Page color is surprisingly nice, about off-white.No other tears or missing pieces. I am not a Golden Age guy, but I recognize a pretty nice find when I see one.And owning such an early Action is just pretty cool!- Just hope it wasn't trimmed or restored...
