Gotham Kid Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Guess Metro will have to cough up another 3M+ if the book is put up for sale. Not that it would hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It will not blow the AC1 out of the water, nor will it sell for 4M. I wouldn't say never for anything regarding key comic prices, but I'd tend to agree. While Batman surpasses Superman in overall current popularity, Action #1 is an unequalled talisman in the collecting world, and it's image far more iconic. It is the grandaddy of all Superhero comic books, the book that launched the entire genre. Detective #27 is the first appearance of Batman. This is not an FF #1 vs. AF #15 scenario. Even collectors who have no interest in Superman feel a special awe when seeing an Action #1 in person, as if it were a Gutenberg bible or a copy of the Declaration of Independence, if I may be allowed a bit of hyperbole.

G.A.tor Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 My guess is it will take more than the action 1 money to get this copy, assuming this copy is even made available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotham Kid Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 My guess is it will take more than the action 1 money to get this copy, assuming this copy is even made available I'd estimate around 3.5-3.6 for the Tec 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
