adamstrange Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 What a wonderful set Podboy. It's a bit of pain to set up the books and take the pics so we do appreciate it! When you take a pic of the more complete set can you put in the GA Group Shot thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I'm going to go with the #108 I guess It would not be a good choice $ wise I'm thankful I own them both so I don't have to decide. I don't pick with $$$ in mind. I won't leave you alone. I'll go for # 108 also. Aside from the light-effect, the situation is more "realistic" in our warped-super-heroes-flying-around-way and I like to see Supes coming to the rescue.

innocuous Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 108 - Cover art is much cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Sub-Mariner #1 for me, I just don't like the chip on the All Select and its not as big of a key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) kinda shocked most are going with #82, I thought the 108 was more revered as a classic. Its tough, but i would take the 108, I thinks its such a "hot" cover.. OOPS - I didn;t see the next page, its more even now...

showcase4 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 These books are not as expensive as most posted here, but they are two of my favorites. The #82 has a higher BV than the #108 Which one would you choose? 108 for me...that's a true classic cover. The 82 is real nice, but with me.....classic covers rule!

In a small pic the Action 108 looks cooler. When comparing the actual comics side by side I think the 82 is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #82 has a higher BV than the #108 Which one would you choose? from a timely guy who ordinarily throws rocks at dc books, i must admit that i've always loved the molten metal cover. would love to have it. supes beating up a bird isn't doing anything for me.

In a small pic the Action 108 looks cooler. When comparing the actual comics side by side I think the 82 is better. I would like to comment on these two books once more. Looking at them in person side by side, the vibrant colors in the #108 seem to blow the #82 out of the water. Tomorrow, They will both be packaged along with others for my trip to Florida. I shall take that last opportunity to flip through them and admire the covers one last time in the raw. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Here's a competition you don't see every day.....restored key Tec vs. highest graded unrestored Duck ! Both of these books sold for approx. $5,300. The Four Color Duck is the highest graded copy, and has an Overstreet Guide price of $675 in NM- / it sold for 7.8 times Guide. Which one would you choose, and why? ....................or possibly to the suprise of some of you, I consider this non-key Duck sale to be a fluke, and would choose the restored Tec 38...a rare choice for me as a non-PLOD collector, and a huge Four Color Duck fan.

showcase4 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 .... let's have a battle of two $100,000 Mega-keys! Both of these books sold in 2006 for approx. $100k. ( give or take a few $thousand ) The Marvel is a November issue with graders notes of "small amount of glue on spine". Which one would you choose, and why? .......................or for me, a big no brainer ( although I don't think all will agree with me ). If I have 1/10th of 1 million dollars on the line, I am not going to choose a 2nd printing of an improperly blue labeled slightly restored book that should be sporting a purple label.....I choose the Batman 1 in 1/2 of 1 second!

The only thing more galling than to compare these two books, is that someone paid $5300 for that Duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
