I used to have several early Actions, but finances caused me to sell many of them unfortunately. Here's one I kept:

Thanks guys! So many great books already posted in this thread kind of makes me want to acquire another early Action.

 

Really nice Action 23 Mike. I've seen many copies of that book, with many having "eye appeal" issues, but yours presents really well.

 

Alton's Action 10 & 20 are both really sweet books as well.

 

The Action 7, 12, & 13 are also jaw dropping. Action 1-24 are just really a geat run of books to go after. :applause:

This copy looks familiar...

 

Can someone refresh my memory? (shrug)

 

 

Owned by a colletor in Oregon. Has minor resto. Seller wanted a million for it a couple of years ago on ebay.

I saw that book in person when I was in Oregon. It was on display at a local museum where they had an exhibit on comic books and original art in October, 2009. It has a much discussed history, but I can say that is shockingly nice in real life. The scans don't do it justice. Paulie had some photos posted on here at one time of the comic that better represented the book. It really looked newsstand fresh from front and back (I stepped behind the showcase to see the back cover, much to the disapproval of the security guard).

 

It's a killer looking copy.

but how much restoration has been done to it?

we will only know if it is "professionally" graded/checked.

I don't mean to rain on your parade by showing off my copy, but mine is far superior!

Right now ComicConnect has a copy up of Action Comics #1 up for auction. (worship)

It should be interesting to see how much this one ends up going for. hm

 

It's already up to 51K.

 

I'd put $1000 $2500 into this book and have Kenny make it a 6.0

 

It really is the perfect copy to restore since there is already a ton of previous Amateur work done.

 

I could see taking all the old tape, and resto off. Get down to the original copy and then decide what to do with it.

 

Leave it as original as possible, or restore the heck out of it.

 

Both hold appeal for completely different reasons.

 

 

 

Great thread, and books all around btw.

The owner, who is an upstanding guy, says not much at all.
