Popular Post Randall Dowling Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Is it wrong that to me, the best part of this reported sale is that the book was "ungraded"? I've always felt that at some point, books like this should be treated like fine art where you just call in an expert to certify legitimacy and condition when it's being sold. Seems like that might cut down a little on the various hijinks people do to get a bigger number, whether the book is any better or not.

sfcityduck Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Supposedly the best ungraded copy is the Larson - anecdotally an 8.0. But, to hit $4.5 million, wouldn't AC 1 need to be a fresh to the market copy that is in a higher range? Or did Hariri free his under copy from the holder and sell that? Either way, think this is further proof that the top three books in the hobby are AC 1, D27 and Supes 1. Sorry AF 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the rumored sale of an Action 1 provide proof that Superman 1 is better than AF 15? jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Boy Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Is the consensus here that an action 1 did sell privately for 4.5 M ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not. But the dupes 1 7.0 sale does. This is just further proof of AC 1 strength if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I meant to refer to. Besides the anonymity part on the buyers end, we literally got no details regarding a sales price. But as you said, we at least have a price that this Action #1 supposedly sold for. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
