If you had $2,000 to buy one comic which would it be?

[Aman619]

I'm in good shape with all my keys so I'd only look for a good deal for my 2K.

 

Rub it in why don't ya? Some of use weren't fortunate to have been collecting SA keys 15 years ago when they were dirt cheap.

 

 

 

Also, 2K book in HG nowadays doesnt even buy a Bronze key anymore, so its pretty hard to find a purchase to make for me.

 

Who said it had to be HG? Are you inferring that only HG comics matter?

 

 

 

So stricken me if you must!

 

I must!

 

I know... I just had to rub it in !

I'd purchase a very nice copy of Brave and the Bold 34....wait....I've already got that one in high grade....

 

Ok, I'd pick up a copy of Showcase 17.

 

And I don't even consider myself a serious DC collector.

I would buy an Incredible Hulk # 1 in 4.5 - 5.5 unrestored.

The nicest Green Lantern #1 or Justice League of America #1 I could find at that price level.

I'd buy a Journey Into Mystery 84 in VF+, if one could be found.

I just checked the census out of interest and found 4 copies in 8.5, so you may be in luck someday. Incredibly, of 87 copies submitted there are only 4 copies ABOVE 8.5. (2 x 9.0, 1 x 9.2, 1 x 9.4).

 

Is this the toughest Marvel book, period, above 8.5 ?

Yes. Among Marvel Superhero books, it is tied with Strange Tales 103 as having fewest copies certified in 9.0 or better.

 

This is a main reason why I treasure my raw copy, with its virtually perfect file copy cover married to an OW/W interior.

Thought I'd compare it to some of the "usual candidates". J.I.M. #84 has the fewest number of certified copies above 8.5, but if you extrapolate from the total submitted, it looks as follows:

 

Hulk 1 = 10 COPIES above 8.5 (from 358 submitted) = 2.79%

TTA 27 = 6 COPIES above 8.5 (from 160) = 3.75%

J.I.M. 84 = 4 COPIES above 8.5 (from 87) = 4.5%

FF3 = 9 COPIES above 8.5 (from 194) = 4.6%

I believe that I might get the highest graded Avengers 57 Pedigree that I could get my paws on.

Journey Into Mystery 114

Hulk 1

JiM 83

ToS 39

These above are the usual suspects save for the the JiM 114

[WiseGuyX]

AF # 15 and ASM # 1

 

 

 

They'll probaly be readers copies for that price but atleast I'll have a copy

[RustyStaple]

Tales of Suspense 39

ASM 14

[arexcrooke]

I meant to say the nicest Pedigreed JiM 114 I could get me hands on.
