Which is more important to get, brave and bold 28 or Justice League of America 1? I see Brave and the Bold 28 is their first appearance together, but you can get nicer copies of Justice League of America for relatively cheaper than Brave and Bold 28

Its like AF 15 and Spidey 1

 

Actually I never thought about it like that, but that's so true.

 

B&B 28 and AF15 - 1st appearance and great cover

 

JL1 and ASM1 - 2nd appearance and cover.

 

JLA1 is the 4th appearance - there was BB28, BB29, BB30 then JLA1.

 

So the clear answer is BB28, but JLA1 is still a cool book.

BB28 everyday, all-day long. More significant, cooler cover and rarer.

 

Yes and no. When you look at blue-label in 8.0 or better, JLA #1 is more rare with just 30 certified copies, while there are 39 of BB28.

While I get the bad rap that ASM 1 gets because of the lackluster cover, I don't find it to be a great fit for comparison to that much of anything historically.

ASM had the 1st appearance of the villain the Chameleon, just like JLA #1 features the 1st appearance of Despero? (shrug)

Cherry-picker. :baiting:

 

BB 28 total CGC = 725

JLA 1 total CGC = 820

 

Also, if you just go one grade down to 7.5+ the numbers skew the other way.

 

Data is fun! :whee:

It's not really cherry picking. If you're a high-grade Silver Age key collector, it's all about 8.0 or better.

Really, all the high-grade Silver Age key collectors that I talk to are either about 7.0 and up or 8.5 and up. :shrug: :grin:

 

And yes, you definitely cherry-picked data. BB 28 is rarer than JLA 1, adding qualifiers doesn't change that fact....it just distorts it.
