If the question is "Is the cover artist really unknown?" then the answer is "shor-isn't" if the cover artist is Shores. Beautiful book, BTW!

Cpt Kirk Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 If sold today, what do you all think would be the highest priced Mile High comic book? Would it be Action Comics #1? I thought I heard many moons ago that the Action #1 Mile High was not in NM condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is trolling or not, but the Church copy of Action #1 was the most valuable comic when it sold nearly 40 years ago, and really nothing has changed since then. Easily still the most valuable book from this collection (especially considering both the Detective #27 & Superman #1 have been graded as 8.5s). tth2 and Cpt Kirk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trolling.... just did not know and one of my boys inspired the question. Thanks for clueing me in. It would be interesting to see how much it sells for when it comes up for sale again.

I believe it is a “legacy” book that will most likely stay in the family. Cpt Kirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkkentdds Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Hmm .. So not to be a contrarian, but I believe a collection of this value will have a hard time staying "in the family." We are talking about 10s of millions for the entire collection. Right? Cpt Kirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everything was already graded, if there were already established comparable sales, if there were nothing but comics in the estate, if they were partitioned out over a couple years in widely advertised sales at the best venue, and if everything was done without minimizing tax consequences, then yes. None of these are likely to be the case, so it is entirely plausible that the comics part of the collection passes intact. Cpt Kirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These types of "properties" usually don't get sold until they get in the hands of grandchildren. When that happens, I've heard that normally they get sold. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Last issue of this book just after it turned into a crime book. Obvious who I got it from. Ron was smart in buying Church books. He realized early on how special they were so he bought quantity not quality. I bought a handful and shortly after he sold most of them to John McLaughlin and JV. He had a lot of them. Pretty sure it would garner a ped label from CGC if I ever felt the need to have it graded. CrocHntr, Cpt Kirk and Frisco Larson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
