ciorac Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Both of these extremely high demand books sold in the high $50k's Which one would you choose? .....or I would have to BARELY go with Batman #1...because it is #1...but the Supes is breathtaking !!!!

ciorac Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 the reason I like this thread is because it's mindless ....and no one ever fights! Both of these books sold for exactly $5,750.... which one would you choose? .............or I'd have to go with the killer NM More Fun on this one......I don't remember seeing Leading Comics #1 on too many want lists For some odd reason I am drawn to the Leading #1! Is there some subliminal message in the jpeg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filter81 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Regarding the Batman 1 and Superman 2, which book would you all pick if you were looking at it 100% completely from a "which book will be the better investment" standpoint? Which of those two books do you think will be more valuable in 10 years? If I had a choice for my collection between the two books I'd take the Batman 1 for sure. But if I had to guess, I'd say its the Superman 2 that would be more valuable down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashrael Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Batman 1. It is just too important to not choose that one (at least in my mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Superman 2. An 8.0 key is unheard of. A 9.2 like Superman 2 is just mind boggling. The white pages, relative scarcity and HGC put it over the top. Batman 1 is probably the most common high value GA key. Its nice that the #2 isn't some BS cover as well - I like the composition.

showcase4 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Both of these books sold about 3 years ago for $40k. The Action 1 has graders notes : small amount of glue and very minor color touch, and has holes from what apparently was a 2 ring binder. Which one would you choose? .....or this is a coin toss for me....I can not choose. My own thread has beat me on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 no coin toss here, Action #1,,hole punches and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durden08 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Even with the large difference in CGC grades, the Action #1 trumps the Cap #1. Maybe if it was the famous, moldy Action #1 with the chunk missing from the front cover, then the Cap #1 wins, but only then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High grade unrestored Cap #1 or a low grade Action #1 with..ugh..holes punched through it. A couple of places behind brittle and trimmed in my least favorite defects. Hmmm... I will give a "qualified" answer. If Matt could fix up the Action so the holes would be nicely filled, I'd take the Action. If not, the Cap.

CentaurMan Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's unfathomable to be that people are saying this is a tough choice. Cap #1 is a downright EASY book. Yeah, yeah, high grade, whatever. No way I'm taking anything short of a 9.6 Church Cap #1 over any complete non-brittle Action #1. In fact, any of you guys who claim you'd prefer the Cap #1 had better find an Action #1 for me, because I'm gonna move Heaven and Earth to find you a nice Cap #1.
