CentaurMan Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Ok, that was kind of a dud match-up. Sorry about that. I think this one could be better. A Church DC (high-demand Action war cover, but in less-than-perfect condition) vs. a Church Timely (awesome condition, but not quite as high-demand a book). Which would you choose?

showcase4 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Action for me too....I'll always take a high grade Action with a great cover and great PQ over a more obscure, lower demand title, even if it's a No. 1 in higher grade. The Action is very easily liquid if you decide to sell....which even though none of us will admit, it's extremely likely that virtually all of us will make that choice at some point in the future.

JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 HG Timely Schomburgs RULE! Having said that, this one is a no-brainer...I'll take the Action. Guess I'm not a hopeless Marvel Zombie afterall.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'd take the amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentaurMan Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 That's a 4-to-1 vote in favor of the Action. Now the crazy part: The Action sold for $6900, while the Amazing sold for $9200 just a few months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The Action. I really like that cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Ok, here are two Edgar Church Action Comics, sold three months apart for about the same price ($10,350 vs. $10,638). Which would you choose? Or have I finally picked a pair of books so similar that people will truly be ambivalent as to their choice? I would take the 28, it has a better cover, PQ and it is coded! A must for a Church book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentaurMan Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 So $9,200 for the Timely and only $6900 for the Action is explicable how? Did people get turned off by the 8.5 grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a an example showing that all it takes is 2 guys who really want something ( die hard Timely collectors ), and it could drive the price way up in any given auction for a particular book. Same book on a different day / different bidders, and the Action could have easily surpassed the Timely in its final price. Another example that everything is in the timing...."any given Sunday" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 To me its a pretty boring action versus a spectacular timely cover.. Young allies isn't typically my bag either but kid title notwithstanding I will take a gorgeous cover timely #1 all day against a run of the mill action. I'm not typically a cover whore but I also typically prefer timely contents over dc contents too so I'd take the timely all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just get turned on by Timely's. They always fetch crazy prices. If Verzyl's ever hit the market, there would some multiples to blow your mind.

I like Timely's too (Not as much as DC's), but the kid books are mind numbing to me, same is true for Boy Commandos on the DC side.
