See post immediately above . . . Very happy with my copy. It will take a special 29 for me to consider an upgrade.

Wayne-Tec Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 2 hours ago, GreatCaesarsGhost said: I’ve decided against selling everything and living in a Quonset hut in order to buy a Tec 27 or Action 1, and instead satisfying myself with single pages on the rare occasion that they turn up I actually visualize this as a course of future collecting action for even the more available books, such as Bat 1 and Cap 1, as the prices continue to rocket to the moon Gorgeous Action #1 page. Would love to see a group shot of your Action #1 page with your Cap #1 and Batman #1! zen514 and GreatCaesarsGhost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) But let’s get back to the OP. Who else has some obtainable grails on their radar screen? Edited June 27, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimebuster Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Young Romance #1 is my attainable grail right now. I know I'll never have an Archie #1, so I am treating #50 as the starting point for my run - that's another!

Popular Post Ricksneatstuff Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) This thread got me to thinking about “grails” and I made a little collage of my own books of all the books that felt like “grails” to me over my comics journey that I obtained. Not all are grail worthy probably to most. Four of these books I no longer have, including the two most difficult comics to replace. I’m sure I’ve had some that I forgot to put in here too. There are three more grails on my list now that I have not obtained. One is a comic that is not that uncommon but every time a copy comes to auction that fits the bill I lose somehow. The other two are pulps that are dang near impossible it seems. Cheers to grails. It’s a big part of what keeps the hobby fun. Mine are shifting all the time and that keeps it fresh too.

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Great books @Ricksneatstuff. You’ve got all the greats. A full lifetime of grails. that said, I hold you personally responsible for adding Matt baker to my list of addictions Edited June 28, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Larryw7 and Ricksneatstuff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryw7 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I think Silver Streak 6 is one I could still get, so probably that one. Detective 29 and 31 are out of my range at this point. KCOComics, GreatCaesarsGhost, Primetime and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
