blackterror Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Both are great examples of their respective genres and artists (Kamen/Kirby). I would equally desire both on the basis of subject matter ... but for me it's a no brainer when it comes to these two copies. The Blue Beetle is a high grade, blue label copy, with ow pages! I'd take this Blue Beetle 52 - all day long over the mid-grade, purple label, mid-grade Cap. For what it's worth I believe there is a lot more investment potential for the Blue Beetle at least in the near term. Caps have been price pushed for years - while this Blue Beetle 52 has been and still is to some degree an under the radar book - even though it's cover rivals the 54 as the best in the run. IMHO and of course always buy what you like. Edited January 20, 2019 by blackterror Doohickamabob and telerites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Between these two I would take the Blue Beetle, but it's a tough choice. Fun idea! I hope you keep the thread going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Like many others I would go for the Catman based off of PQ and it seems to be less available than the Superman but I would gladly take either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
