MrBedrock Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Ciorac, the Gandhi of Golden Age. The Funny Book Mother Teresa. The Switzerland of the Collecting world! I feel the love brother. And I will, from this day forward, love all comics equally and as if they were my own. BTW, I think my own Detective 27 needs to pay me a visit. I'm glad you are embracing the truth Richard. It will be an inspiration to us all! Visit? Sure, unless you would rather it come and stay permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase4 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Both books sold for $24,000 around '04/'05. The 1st image is the back of a Tec 27 graded FR 1.0 unrestored with cream pages...the front of the book has some damage, but there is no paper loss. The 2nd book/ MF53...speaks for itself. Which one would you choose, and why ? ................or I like pretty books....have to go with the Spectre on this one ( 1st time I passed on a Tec 27 in this thread ) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Saddly, More Fun ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.schomburg Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 It would be Batty to choose the Tec over the MF.... Make mine a ghost with the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourthWorld Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Investor-wise(?), the Detective, collector-wise , again the Detective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1koko Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 More Fun for me too. When I buy an unrestored copy it will have to be much better than that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.schomburg Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Investor-wise(?), the Detective, collector-wise , again the Detective For me, both...as a collector the more fun looks so nice and I love spector covers. Tec is iconic, but man that back cover is so rough, just detracts to much for me. As investor, I still say the high grade mf is just to nice to pass, and return on investmet even with resto-ing, the Tec should lag. IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowzilla Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 You should at least show the front of the Tec also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I woiuld have to choose the MF. While I would love to own the first Batman that book is just toooo ugly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filter81 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Tough choice! If given the option, I'd buy either of those books at that price. But knowing how nice that 'Tec 27 eventually restored... I'd have to go with the 'Tec 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I would take an uglier Tec 27 than that over the More Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowzilla Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'm with Filter - some TLC and that Tec looks gorgeous. An overpriced (c'mon it's the second appearance) expensive MF will always be a much tougher sale than the first appearance of the #2 comic character.

The Black Hand ® Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I think crow's on to something here. Both books too rich for my unambitious blood though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedude Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Bill, I am glad you mentioned "boring to the point of excrutiating". oops! Sorry Rich, I forgot we are only supposed to talk about how pretty the covers are...... Pretty cover on the AF 15.....ooohhhh.....ahhhhh... Better? Bill, you big lovable nerd! These are just for you.... um, Richard if you ever need to sell that Supes #18, you know, to buy another Timely or something,. puh-lease, allow me to make an offer, I'm just a PM away just an incredible book.

showcase4 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Both of these books sold in 2006, with a blended average sales price for each around $110,000. Which one would you choose, and why??? I would have to go with the Bat on this one.....as much as this NM- More Fun 52 is probably one of the rarest big GA keys in grade, I could not spend $110,000 of real cash on this book ( virtually any book ) due to graders notes of "very minor amount of glue on spine of cover". Where is the purple label??? That glue did not jump out of its tube and happen to land on the spine......I would guess there is a little tear under that glue dot.....but I digress. If not for the graders notes/glue, I would choose the MF52 instantly. Batman #1 for me! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
