Just noticed this in the auction.  I think I like it better than either of the Masks, but doubt it finishes close to either.

I just jumped on the gas pedal for your old copy. I’m sure my bid will hold for the next 20 minutes 
 

did your tastes evolve away from lbcole?

Finders fee (if you weren’t already aware on this one) = one free in person viewing.  What a stunning copy of a true classic.

Deal!!

Slight miswrap and OW/W pages. Approaching toilet paper level for him.

He upgraded to a copy that makes this one look like mulch.

Those lovely Action Comics 2 through 19 are about to go off. Near full run. I'd say about two fiddy would get every one. 

 

[Dark Knight]

The Action 7 sold at around the same price from the last time it was auctioned

I thought the Action 2 went a bit low, but don’t know if it was the particular copy or the market to blame

I don't follow Action 2 much and its past sale trends, but looks like a pretty good deal.

Might be Actions “not -number-1” are just in a rebuilding phase.  A 4.0 went for just a few thousand less back in 2017. I figured this for $50k at least(it hammered at $44k tonight)

yeah. It looked good for a 1.0 and it was from Jerry Siegels personal collection which to me is pretty neat. But that piece out of page 5 must have hurt. Oh I see what you mean , the same exact book sold for 44.5 in 2017. Yikes. That's not right. Seller must be pretty far from ok right now. Most of the big books have pretty much doubled since then.

They all ended at about 225k

It looked ok for a 4.0, not great but not bad. This got me thinking. If estimating that a 4.0 Action 1 would sell for 2,000,000 right now (3.0 sold for 1.6 last December) then after tax this 4.0 # 2 went for about 2.5% its # 1 counterpart.  Conclusion: Action 2 gets no respect I'll tell ya. It's like the Rodney Dangerfield of the Comics realm.

I blame the fact most people only seem to care for #1s and covers.

Sad really. We are talking about Superman's second ever appearance.
