Jaydogrules Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) If we are balancing and factoring "value" relative to "significance" of those 6, I would do: 1) Action 1 2) Tec 27 3) Cap 1 (because this, the top Timely, should be in the Top 3 over 3 other books that all, in one form or another, feature reprinted/recycled material) 4) Superman 1 5) Marvel 1 6) Batman 1 -J.

PhilipB2k17 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'd rather have Cap #1 than Batman #1. First appearance of a major, historically important character with one of the all-time classic covers in Comics. Batman #1 has the 1st appearance of the Joker, but is that comparable to the first Appearance of Captain America? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with Jay Garrick as the FLASH. That is such a huge factor I would think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued by both those books ( the scarcity or rareity ) only adds to their appeal for me. Their addition to comic history and 2 cool covers. My gut tells me in the next 3 years both these books will take on a brand new momentum. Knightsofold and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To existing folks, they are already greatly desired. So something must ignite new demand Knightsofold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
