Action Comics #1 (1938) CGC 9.0 on the census

[Mephisto]

Doesn't the Dentist have a raw 9.6,or is that just a rumor?

 

His is the Mile High Copy. I forget I think Fishler said it is a 9.2 or 9.4, don't remember exactly.

I thought it was a 9.2-9.4.

Based on the pics alone it's hard to tell but....do you think this looks like a 9.0?

9.4,9.6 when you get into those grades for an Action1 it's all the same isn't it.

the search function in my head says it was 9.2

With the paint missing from the cover, yea.

IMO, the book is deserving of the 9.0 grade.

[Ringfinger]

I want it!

The back cover is extraordinarily white.

[Dark Knight]

The million dollar question is.. What is the page quality? I don't think if the pages were slightly brittle or brittle that it would command above the price that the 8.5 sold for. Just my opinion.

With a cover as nice as that I doubt it will be anything less than cr/ow.Brittle pages usually mean brittle cover too.

+1

 

I hope it wasn't in that storage locker for an extended period (years).

[MagnetoWasRight]

I was just discussing with another boardie via PM and we both said the same thing...that book looks like it was stored in a cold climate somewhere. I'd be surprised if it had brittle pages but that's just my opinion.

[PreHero]

Spine of this Action #1 is certainly sharp and covers seem clean. Economy is still bad, but I'm guessing not for those that could afford an Action #1.

 

I'll guess $2.25 mil - if PQ is Cr/OW or OW & staples clean. Cream or rust: 10% less. OW/W: 10% more.

[lou_fine]

Any guesses? 2.5 million? That's my guess.

 

I think the market is a bit soft now...but considering the 8.5 sold for 1.5 mill....

 

I'm guessing 2 million (maybe a little less).

 

 

It'll go for $2 Million, maybe slightly more as there are only a couple of known copies in better shape.

 

I'm not sure there is a better copy other the MH. I think it was established that the rumored "other hg" copy was the 8.5.

 

Yes, and this is exactly why I don't think it will have much problem going for more than $2 million dollars. Probably the 2nd or 3rd best copy in existence, with the top copy not expected to see the light of day during our lifetime.

Pretty damn old,but his son collects comics too.He's got a hell of a collection in his own right.

Very true. A major factor in the price.
