Dark Knight Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I believe the only exception it seems among collectors or investors is Marvel 1. A true Oct copy would probably sell for more than a Nov copy. originalisbest and Primetime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A genuine first printing succeeded by another with a very noticeable difference. (and i say that as a guy who foolishly let go of his Oct copy years ago) I was never big on the "first printing first state" obsession that (non-comic) book collectors have, and it sometimes gets a tad silly when there is talk of an "errata" on page this or that which means it's the earliest off the press. Generally you're talking about books printed the same week or even the same day and bought by the first buyers at the same time. If they were numbered as they ran off the press, I am sure comic collectors would place extra value on low numbers. But it's not how things are done (at least not before now; I realize I may have planted a terrible suggestion in the mind of some DC or Marvel marketing exec to bring into the next gimmick meeting...

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 So, bumping this thread. I see Clink just sold an AF 15 7.0 for $85k. I don’t follow those books even though I love Spidey too. Just seems like it’s too easy, I guess. Am am I missing the boat? Should I be jumping on one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) That’s funny, woowoo. Not dumping Bat 1. But as I look around and wonder what might be of equal value to the world, it’s AF 15 I keep coming back to. I looked hard at Cap 1, but the value(aka interest) has been dropping. The mods jumped me for suggesting in another thread the reason for the tanking might be that Cap is just a little too jingoistic, given our current state of affairs. Spidey seems to be embraced worldwide with fervor equal to Batman. I love Bat 1 and it’ll have to be pried from my cold dead fingers. But I’m looking for that next mountain. I’ve looked at Incredible Hulk 181, and that book seems to have staying power. Today’s younger generation coming into the hobby guarantees a future there. Clink has a 9.8 at $36k ending tonight, but I have no personal connection to it. AF 15 has a lot of parallels to Bat 1 and that’s what I think and that’s all I’m saying. And if I can’t share my innermost thoughts with you, my buds, what good are the Boards anyway?

IMO they are way over priced for a book you can find and chose what style and shape you want if you had to sell fast it would have to be at a reduced price they are all over. The Bat 1 now you can find them BUT unrestored . now put your share your thought's all you want The boards have love for you my friend you are @GreatCaesarsGhost the Man.

As far as an IH 181, a 9.8 would of course be great, but if the goal is to have one I'd go for whatever lower level would be friendlier to your wallet -- either IH 181 or AF 15 would be a saleable book in just about any shape, and while you own a copy of either, you can see how it feels to own this or that blue chip at "level X"; if it's not a keeper for you, put it back on the market.

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm trying to figure out who was on the news stand first: Lex Luthor or Joker/Catwoman. I've looked online and thru my reference materials, and it appears as though Action 23 and Batman 1 were on the news stands at the same time. Can this be true? That DC just decided to unleash the hounds of evildoers at the same time? I can't think of any other mainstream bad guys that would have come out earlier than these guys. I think both Superman and Batman had other lesser "bad guys" appear before Lex Luthor and Joker/Catwoman, but they just didn't catch on. Is it just coincidence that the epic bad guys Lex Luthor and Joker/Catwoman appeared on the stands at exactly the same time? I tried posting this question under the thread "Hierarchy of Golden Age", but got no response. Thought I'd try it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
