Action Comics #1 CGC "No. 1 Piece" from the Front Cover 1 1

[Wayne-Tec]

I decided to have my original "No. 1 "piece from the front cover of Action Comics #1 slabbed by CGC.

I could not be happier with the results.

I believe this may be the smallest piece ever slabbed by CGC, but well deserved given the historical significance.

I'm curious how they verify it is actually from an Action 1?

Now that is a “conversation piece”

It originated from a scrapbook authenticated by Heritage Auctions that included original front cover pieces of Action Comics #1 and others.

You could sell that in a NYC art gallery as a commentary on the absurdity of comic collecting and probably use the proceeds to buy a full copy.

The guy who bought the shards of paper and staple should be interested in this:)

Over the years, I’ve owned a number of pieces from Action Comics #1: including pages 2, 3, 4 (still own), 5 and 7.

Those are all incredible pieces. But I can say without hesitation, this front cover “No. 1” tops all of them.

Although it may be small in stature, similar to an Inverted Jenny, it’s one of a kind, from the most important single piece of paper in comic book history.

Thank you to CGC for doing such an incredible job with it.

This is really neat that you got them to verify and encapsulate this piece.  Congratulations!

I'd be sending it to IGB ..a little color touch to the blue area, a few pieces added and voila, purple label 9.8

You joke,and yeah 9.8 is, but here is where someone had a coverless Superman #1 and 2 piece of original cover ( Logo , Superman) that when taped to reprint cover still got a .

0.5 Universal.

As a point of comparison to the Promise books, is this Batman 1 the lowest graded pedigree mega-key?

Love this! (On the down side, at this very moment, it’s dawning on some feebay jockey that he can send in a fragment of Foom #17 for slabbing)...

So what grading tier did they process this through?

 They forgot to put Glue on front cover  Just kidding looks great and now you can go after 2 on up since you have a 1

Did they know you were coming?  Was there any resistance to grading it?
