One of the worst misses I've ever had (on the boards or otherwise) is when Andy (GAcollectibles) posted thedude's Action 242 raw. Thedude snagged it, and it came back 7.0 -- a stunner and one of the nicest copies I've ever seen. I begged thedude to sell it to me, and true to his word, he offered it to me first, but I passed because I (foolishly) thought the price was a touch aggressive. He got a very nice number for it. It's a beautiful 7.0

 

I owned, until recently, a CGC 6.5 that I bought raw from graham crackers. I sorta wish I had it back, but I know will find another. I have owned a few copies of this book, but none better than the 6.5. It is a very tough book to find in grade, though one was auctioned by heritage recently, but had only cream pages. I don't recall it went for a "crazy" amount either.

 

I broke into a sweat when I saw it raw at that price. I screamed out loud when I saw that I had missed it by like 3 minutes. lol

no hard feelings Brian, as I ended up selling the book for over $1000 more than I offered it to you for. :foryou:

Yeah, I know. I give myself the face palm every time I think about it.

Here is my low grade copy that I picked up in a collection many years ago and refuse to let it go. If worse comes to worse someday, I can always wipe my azz with it. :sorry:

I'm glad someone made a thread about this book because it's one of my favorites. It's definitely tough to find in grade but I've managed to get a few copies.

I just purchased this recently and it's the highest grade I own:

Lois Lane 1 shares a lot in common with Action 242. Came out around the same time, dark blue cover is harsh on defects, no copies graded 9 or above. It also has a classic cover.

Just got in.

 

:takeit: , awesome pick up Brannon!

 

Nice Brannon. Save me a copy will you Kal-El :baiting:

 

No problem, If I ever decide to part with it I've got a White pager that would fit well with your collection of books with uncommon high PQ (SC 22, two if I'm not mistaken. :o ) . It's only a 4.0 though :(
