SOTIcollector Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 That is an interesting reproduction of Action Comics #1. I'm not familiar with that particular reprint. Do you have any information about where it came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougC Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Given the tire location and action lines this could be a 1998 USPS reprint with the half cover/stamp removed. KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) If you believe it is real, your best bet is to submit to cgc for authentication you can look on the internet to match page for page what is the original, and the dimensions. also, as stated in the name of this forum, this space is for actual questions you can post pics of cool books in a zillion other sub forums Edited September 10 by revat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFish Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Looks like the interior pages are glossy-- wouldn't that knock out the Treasury and the Masterpiece Edition? Is this the most reprinted comic in history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan_W Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I have actually had a couple of people try to sell me beat up reproductions of Action 1 and Sup 1. My offer is typically about a dollar and their price expectation was several million dollars so we were not able to bridge the gap and make a deal work.

As for the book itself; I was curious so looked into which reprint it was and it is the USPS from 1998 with the half cover removed. These had pretty terrible wraps so the RH side of the book will have different edges. here are two from MCS: Here is one with the half cover/stamp removed: Obviously OP's book has been artificially aged to look older than it is, but it is still missing the obvious marks (running boards, rocks, price, additional sweat drop) and the image is blown up. As mentioned above the pages are glossy so the next time they do this at least take a kneaded eraser over the pages and cover. MAY1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFish Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Nice detective work. I was going to suggest it looked artificially aged, but decided against it. When you compare this to an actual Golden Age book you can totally see the difference between actual aging and enhanced. Enhanced tends to just have the book rolled but everything is completely intact. The stapes are usually soundly attached-- with an actual Golden Age book the wear comes from handling/reading, so you have corner bends or missing, you have areas where little dirty fingers have held the book, you get a roll created not by rolling the entire book but by rolling individual pages as you read them-- this wear causes the staples to take a beating too.

LowGradeBronze Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Most of these reprints only have the 16pg Superman story making them much slimmer than the 68pg original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
