Who actually has the best comics collection in the world?

 

It is a crazy collection that Mr A has:

 

Church copy of Action Comics 1

Best DC27

 

Best Superman 1 too?

Church copies of Action comics 2-23 as well I believe.

 

What else does he have, and does Metro have a collection to rival it (it seems impossible...)?

 

Best Superman #1. Best Detective 27 (Allentown). Best Action #1. Someone said something recently about the best Batman #1 although I've never heard about that book until recently.

 

So, the best copy of at least three (of not four) of the top five books in the hobby. At least where he crosses over into my research, his comics are untouchable.

 

PURE SPECULATION FOLLOWS

 

One thing that came up in an off-board discussion a few years ago is that he was also buying SA Marvels back in the day. I've always wondered about what that portion of his collection might look like if that info was accurate (and I have no reason to doubt it.) He's clearly got a drive for quality and having the best, so he might have a couple of earth shattering gems from the 1960s to balance out the Golden Age portion of his collection.

If you were to see Fishler's art collection your mind would blow wide open.

 

John Verzyl happens to own every Mile High Timely except for 6 or 7.

 

His Marvel #1 is rumored to be perfect and the Cap #1 is a graded 9.8 (not a Mile High though).

 

And don't forget the random other Church copies he's got laying around. No big deal.

 

[jimjum12]

For what it's worth... his son Adam sells on eBay as Blissard IIRC...... and the books are very tightly graded...... VG/F's are pretty. GOD BLESS...

I forgot all about that clunker.

[torontodesignguy]

this is news to me... which isn't surprising as I'm still a newby after a year or two ...

 

"his son Adam sells on eBay as Blissard"...

 

can you clarify who he is the son of... I have been a fan – and purchaser – of his auctions.

 

just curious...

 

thanks

I remember John flying that one in personally to CGC and hanging in the waiting room for the results . There was a photo posted with the book in slab, John, and Borock.

This young man is one of the hardest working sellers around. I've never met the Dentist but if I ever do I'll shake his hand not for having the world's best books but for some kind of great job raising his son. You'd never know the kid comes from comic book royalty. Old school work ethic and a class act. A business largely based on recycling Geppi's old Harveys is no walk in the park.

Just pretend it's a newly discovered Timely

That's been my experience as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Adam.

I have the best collection in my house because my cat just mostly collects drek. But it's what he likes, so who am I to judge.

I too have bought from Adam/blissard, great books and shipping!

My cat collects moths. The collection continually rotates, cause he eats them.

Hasn't he also been advertising for years in the OSPG that he buys Superman and Batman related toys? I imagine that part of his collection must also be something to behold.
