showcase4 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 This is like the Action #1, Cap #1 comparison, but a little less so. Mega key vs. lesser key, with a narrower spread. 'Tec #27 all day long. my fault..I am slipping apparently...the whole point is for tough choices worthy of debate...not "no brainers" How about these 2 high $40k's, high grade unrestored keys? Which one would you choose? ....or MPFW for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Tec 27, no contest. MPFW, no contest. It's the pay copy! What a piece of comic history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentaurMan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'll take the Larson Subby #1, which I'd then trade to sacentaur for lots of goodies. I've never gotten into the whole MPFW mystique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFB Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think I'd take the Detective #27. There are a few books in the hobby that do not experience the same price ceilings that most books do. Detective #27 (and Action Comics #1) are probably the only two that I can think of that definitely seem to break with that trend. The 4.0 copy of Detective #27 is probably a $90,000 book right now, and because it's a Detective 27, there is enough well-heeled demand for the first appearance of Batman that I don't think that this book would hit a price ceiling the way that a high grade (but not the highest grade) copy of the first appearance of Robin would. Now, if it were a question of this Detective 27 CGC 4.0 versus the Allentown copy of Detective 38, I'd have to go with the Allentown copy. Tec VS. Tec ! both sold in the high $40k's about 3 years ago. Which one would you choose? ........or for me, I wouldn't care if the Tec 38 was a 9.8.....I'm takin' the 27 !

ashrael Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Detective 27 over 38 Sub-Mariner 1 for me. I just like hero comics a lot better than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 How about these 2 high $40k's, high grade unrestored keys? Which one would you choose? ....or MPFW for me! Wow tough choice but I'd probably go for the Sub-Mariner #1 at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Tec 27, no contest. MPFW, no contest. It's the pay copy! What a piece of comic history. Ditto. MPFW for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 A real show down here.......very low grade Mega-key VS. very high grade and gorgeous semi-key both sold for the mid $30k's around 3 years ago. Beauty and the Beast ! Which one would you choose? ....or as a lover of beautiful comics book, I would have no choice here but to choose Clayface over Superman....I think...I don't know....I want my Mommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 m that is a tough group.. I'd take the Tec 31 because it is my fav. tec cover and because Batman #1 was trimmed.. As for the Actions, I'd take the Church #61 because I like the cover better and it has white pages!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
