Updated because I don't think Verzyl's identity or ownership of certain books is a secret.

 

Best known copy of Tec 27 is the Allentown owned by dentist. Not graded.

Church Tec 27 was second hand.

Cap 1 can be seen by searching Heritage Archive. It's restored. The 9.8 on the census is the Allentown owned by John Verzyl.

Whiz(1) is super high grade, probably owned by dentist. Not graded.

Marvel 1 is super high grade owned by John Verzyl. Not graded.

First part of Action run Church copies owned by dentist. Not graded.

Pep 22 is high grade last known to be owned by dentist. Not graded. Most all of the Pep run was last owned by Metropolis who shared some scans.

All American 16 is the 9.4 on the census owned by John Verzyl.

More Fun 53 is restored and can be seen in the Heritage Archives.

Flash 1 is the 9.6 on the census and owned by prominent dealer Y. I held it in my hands last month and it was gorgeous.

 

Heritage Archive is a good place to search for more. Many of the big Church books haven't been graded yet and owned by some of the people listed above as well as being spread among many collectors.

I thought the Superman 1 was restored and owned by Bechara.

It was un-restored and now resides in the 8.0 blue label slab.

Thanks for the info! Anyone know about the Batman 1?

Dentist.

Geppi owned the Mile High Whiz 2(1) last I knew of its whereabouts. Not sure if he sold it. I got to thumb it up in his office back in the mid 90s

Not at all. John was photographed with the AA16 and is happy to talk to anyone about his collection.

I had heard that the Dentist subsequently got it back and that's why I indicated that he probably owned it.

It's not the MH copy of Action #1 or Batman #1, but it's a top 100 Golden Age Key & probably the most expensive Mile High I'll ever own!

For those of you who have multiple raw Church books, I continually hear that the Church books have a specific cedar fresh scent to them. When I sniffed the pages of a Church book a couple of years ago, I did not smell anything different compared to other pages I have sniffed. Could it be that not all Church books have this scent? Either that or my sense of smell isn't up to par as most lol

I just pulled out a couple of my Church books. I have some Church copies of the Timely humor books such as pre-DeCarlo Millies and Hedy De Vine. I detect what could be a cedar scent but it's very subtle at that.

John is more like a crown jewel in the comic market tiara than a Julian of wicked Wikileaks. (:

The scent of a Church book is indeed distinct. However, last time I checked a few of mine I too noticed that the odor had faded.

 

Since I put microchamber sheets inside all my books, I presume that these sheets are absorbing the smell.

I was comparing tth2 to Assange for revealing the name of dealer X.

So the next big collector's market product will be Pine Scentedef19fe49-03d6-47ea-bff3-32d73aa97950_zpsf3tubnuw.png Microchamber Sheets! :grin:
