innocuous Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 This is tough, but it boiled down to which would I be more likely to flip, and which one would I keep. I'd keep the tec, so I'd go for that one. Exactly. Despite the rarity of the other book, I would want to keep the TEC in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 You can always find a tec 33. A MPFW particularly the pay copy is a once in a lifetime opportunity without question. I'm with Action1kid on this one. Exactly right. In fact, one day, I hope to own the Pay Copy MPFW. Just 5,000,000 or so pennies when you break it down.

The Black Hand ® Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Pay copy, That's a significant book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Ok...I was right...this was an interesting one. At this moment we have a tie: 8 votes for MPFW and 8 votes for Tec 33. I guess the next new voter will determine the winner. Who will it be, and what will you choose?...and please state "why" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'll vote twice for tec.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'll vote twice for tec.... You were wrong once already. No need to compound it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrael Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 This just in: Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1 I really can't pass on an extremely rare 1st appearance of the Sub-Mariner. While the cover is far less appealing, the comic just feels a lot more important. It is also the highest graded copy (Tec 33 has 1 higher restored, 1 same restored, and 1 other non-restored). After reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Funnies_Weekly I couldn't pass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Thank's for the link! I just read that too and it just confirms my choice for the pay copy. How many of these are known to exist? I love batman, but I'd still have to go MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 The price for both was approx. $47,000. Which one would you choose, and why? ..........................or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 The price for both was approx. $47,000. Which one would you choose, and why? ..........................or Supey #1 all the way. It is a huge key book, unrestored, and I collect keys. The Suspense #3 has a great cover and it..........has a great cover.....and isn't worth $47,000 to me.

G.A.tor Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 hello all.. as "ugly" as it is, I go with DC and Superman rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1koko Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 agree with Rick - has to be the Supes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Have to be the Superman, but I'd buy a poster of the Suspense and put it on my wall. I do think that the suspense would be almost as good an investment, but maybe someone else with more knowledge on that could chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action1kid Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I got news for you. The 4.5 Blue label Superman # 1 is the Rarer book of the two. Ajusted for condition in an unrestored state that is. I think the book is worth 60k today. Superman is my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Suspense, but just barely, and only because Schomburg and Cole are two of my favorite artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Superman #1 because I collect hero books and it's a key book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 can't decide really. Supes #1 never thrilled me, and that susense is just wonderful looking. Supes kinda ugly. I guess Because I collect DC, I'd go with superman #1, but i really think the other is a far more attractive comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 The more I think about it, the more supes wins in a landslide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
