MILE HIGH ACTION #1 VS ALLENTOWN DETECTIVE # 27

[Aman619]

but compared to the other two, who cares?

[rob_react]

 

I think Detective # 27 is much more rare that A 1 on the whole. The real Dark Horse is All-American # 16. Which pedigrees have this one?

 

There's a Church copy. It's supposedly perfect. 9.8 perfect.

i saw the larson all american 16,, 12 years ago in sandiego,metro had it,,at the time he told me he wanted 50k,,it was very high grade..

there is also an all american 16 mile high copy which i have never seen,i think geppi or john snyder originally owned it,,i dont know who has it now.

those are the 2 copies i know which would blow away the cgc census copies for sure

[Aman619]

didnt one of them have a coupon cut out?

[action1kid]

i dont think so because the mile high is suppose to be untra high grade and ive seen the larson

I think the Reilly copy has a coupon out of the back. I haven't been able to find the reference to verify that however.

[Aman619]

that might be the one. It was in San Diego a long time ago now. I just remember it was a top pedigree copy.

Overstreet Fan 1 has the sale listing on the SF copy All Am 16 w/ the coupon cut. I believe the coupon was replaced also.

[Crowzilla]

The Larson also has the coupon cut/replaced.

[rob_react]

The Larson also has the coupon cut/replaced.

 

that makes the Church copy even more remarkable.

...like thats a surprise, huh?

I passed on purchasing the Larson Copy of All-American #16 back in 1987 (I believe from Metro) - Actually they would only sell the Larson All-American #16 & #17 as a set. The All-American #16 has the coupon cut.

Action 1 hands down. Wasnt the dentist offered 2 million for it (and turned down)?

With all thing's being equal, the MH Action would always do better for the reasons previously stated. But it's funny, for some reason I suspect the MH Action 1 might have some minor form of resto, like a color touch. Don't ask me why, I seem to have bits and pieces of fragmented memories that keeps telling me that. Someone would have to ask the dentist if he knows of any but good luck getting an answer.

[action1kid]

i would only suspect that if J.S had at one time owned the book..

Steve Fishler from Metropolis has previously posted that he's seen the book in person and confirmed that there is NO resto on the book. He also mentioned that it would grade in the 9.2 range.

there are similar rumors for many of the top books. been there done that.

Did Steve run a black light over it? I'm still thinking small color touch. But it doesn't matter all that much to me since I'll never own it and if I did a small color touch wouldn't bother me one bit if I knew that before buying it.

[action1kid]

i dought he visited the dentists home with a black light.

Everyone on this board has his own preferences.My personal preference is no restoration what so ever. Its just what i like to collect.I did not buy the more fun 52[mile high] because it had a slight,very slight resto..it is in a blue holder however.

Just my personal way i like to collect.
