Socratic Wonder Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) #27! Edited August 30, 2007 by Socratic Wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I would rather own a 'Tec 31 than a 27 - I'm a cover collector - not a key collector, and that particular 27 has too big a cover chip for me to consider it a true 4.0, but the lure of owning such a major key is awfully tempting. I would probably take the 27 - hold onto it for a while for bragging rights - and then sell it and buy a nice looking mid-grade 31 (among other books) with the proceeds.

JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Without hesitation, the Tec # 31. Highest graded. Good page quality. Awesome cover. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 this is a case where the detective in me would choose the AA 16....tec 38 is "common", and even in high grade, far more readily available than "any" unrestored AA 16 (gd or better)... gator I agree with Rick. And for the record I will take the MF 52 as well. well, no kidding. you didn't call your stores "all star comics" did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 why are so many of you SO sure there are THAT many AF15 9.6s out there? Isnt it asking a lot to think so many pristine copies would have survived from so early in the SA? I think it would signal "game over" to many of us if we ever got to a point where the census filled up to that extent... especially on the holy grail early key books. I doubt there are very many. I've seen a couple in private collections that may be in that grade range, but can't be sure. There is a possibility of pressing a couple 9.2's or 9.4's on up though. what is this "pressing" you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 What do you think a Blue label Action #1 8.5 would go for, tied with top of Census! Would appriciate everyone's thoughts. P i've been offered tickets to the lsu/usc nat'l championship game in N.O. in exchange for my 8.5 Action 1. i turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just some small private school but I have heard there recruiting program has picked up. USC something I think is the school. I don't know though they’ve never been able to make it to the big game before, much less win it, so I guess we will wait and see huh.

Silver Surfer Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Which would you choose? Can't stand the "Boy Wonder", this is where the cool and edgy Tec run took a dive. The weird Batman and Robin covers that followed for many years to come was enough to make me Give me the AA#16 all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Without hesitation, the Tec # 31. Highest graded. Good page quality. Awesome cover. What's not to like? hold on cowboy! Highest graded doesnt mean BEST Existing. Theres at least one better copy (Dentist?) and maybe more unslabbed as of today. So jumping on this 8.0 for that reason would be premature.

Im surprised so many have already surfaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Did J.V ever say if J.S ever owned it? I HOPE NOT. If you take out your secret decoder ring you can easily figure out what im gettin at. I believe he bought it direct, so no monkey stuff done to it rick Wish we could see scans of such mythical copies of these rare treasures. Didn't Bangzoom post a nice copy of AA#16 or am I thinking about his Adventure #40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
