You can see that book on my site www.comicartbuyer.com

 

I am shocked a 4.0 action 1 sold for almost 200k -crazy IMO.

 

You have the best OA/comic book collection I've ever seen.

 

It's amazing you have a CGC 7.0 copy of Detective #29 available for trade .... because you already have a 9.6 copy

An interesting story behind my Action 1 is it was the first comic to sell for a $1000. I believe it happened in the mid 70s and even made the news wires. Several dealers have told me they remember when it happened. The '25' written on the cover was what the original owner paid, 25cents, in 1963.

thanks -you are too kind.

 

I just looked through your site. Amazing collection.

I'm sure there are several undiscovered copies out there, but the chances of them being HG are minimal.

 

Agreed, but surprises have been known to occur. I would have never thought there were so many books that grade equal or higher than Church copies until CGC came along.

From what I hear there are several Action 1s out there that are in the strong VF range. It is only a matter of time before more hit the census. something in near mint, however, is another ballgame.

You think it would be advantageous to have a raw VF copy graded for insurnace purposes especially when low grade copies are setting new sales records? Might be hard to justify a claim for $400,000+ or even get sufficient coverage without having it independantly graded, no?

[Thegoldenage]

Maybe take it to the guy who spent 195k on a VG. I'm sure he would throw a few million at a VF.

I believe this is the artical on your Action 1s history.

[Thegoldenage]

Great article! Thanks.

[action1kid]

Ill take a bet that a number of those v.fs you refer to, come in with some kind of resto,even if slight.Wont be surprised at all.

[action1kid]

Can you post that artical here for all of us to see? I still dont know how to do it

[tth2]

I wish more people would stop hiding what they own -just b/c somebody knows that the xyz cover exists doesn't mean it is devalued.

 

Welcome to the boards! I know many people here have enjoyed going through your site, so it's great to have you here.
