There's that famous video from the 70s where the comic nerd goes onto a talk show and let's the guests toss around his untagged supes 1.

I mean.. to hear that a Superman #1 was worth $1500 in the year of 1977 is insane. waaaghboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, what's the fun in collecting comics if you can't get together with your fellow collector buddies and pass them around for perusing through: On 2/27/2017 at 9:02 AM, ciorac said: Here is Jon at my place in Philly a few years ago sharing much of his collection with us No Supes 1 in those pictures there, but you do have an Action 1, 'Tec 27, and also a Church copy of Fantastic 3 which ended up being graded as a CGC 9.4 graded copy that sold for some $243K a few years ago. zen514, KCOComics, Larryw7 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years after Mitch bought his Action #1, Burrell Rowe's picture appeared in newspapers holding Superman #1 that he had bought for, I believe, $2000 . So $1500 may not be too far off given its condition. Just for fun, if someone has them, kindly check the Overstreet Price Guide for 1977 and 1978 so that we can see what the guide was on it.

Totally get your POV here, but just glad that Jon had a change of heart and decided to retrieve both of these crapola POS books from the recycle bin after they had finished thrashing their way through them. Especially since he was still able to sell them both for over $700K by the time it was all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely best of the best with the next highest graded Universal copy coming in at only a mere CGC Fine 6.0 grade. With this Church copy coming in at a highest grade by a long shot at CGC 9.4, it almost makes me wonder if Fishler gave any thought to buying this copy for himself, especially since he was seemingly so intent on cornering the market on this book back in the day.
