romanheart Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I'm thinking the best grade copy of Action#1 but I honestly don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that makes sense, its always something I was intrigued by. Like what else do people have in their attic, that they don't know what they are sitting on.

silversurfer275 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Yeah if you got a super low grade action 1 there’s still a lot of comics more valuable who knows maybe someone gets a 9.8 dectetive 27 that would def be like 5 plus million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't know who has the copy that would want to part with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Easy, the Dentist’s Church copy of Action #1. Drop the mike. And welcome to the boards! Readcomix, Tony S, Krismusic and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I don't think anything would be more valuable, but perhaps there is a comic more rare? And I mean a comic that received a legitimate printing. Not a variant or alternate printing or a book with a desirable defect like 16 covers or something. Just a book that was printed, likely in the Golden Age, that copies just do not exist of but is also very desirable. Like is it accurate to say there are between 50-75 confirmed copies of Action Comics #1? Is there an actual count somewhere? And is there a book with fewer confirmed copies in existence that is desired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rclark123 Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 I guess time will tell, but even that comic the Action #1, is probably worth closer to 4 million don't yall think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And welcome to the boards! Maybe followed by his Allentown Tec 27? Was just about to bring up the AT Tec 27. It would give the Church Action 1 a run for its money for most valuable comic book in the hobby I think. I would lean towards the Tec 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I can see why Suspense Comics #3 would be hard to find. Seems like a prime candidate for "burning" back in the day as part of the "comics are bad" movement. Why is Amazing Man #26 so hard to find? And is there any data available anywhere on print runs of some of these books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
