G.A.tor Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 If anyone knows where that Silver Streak is, I will buy it right now. I was the underbidder, only because I was out of the country when the auction concluded. (See, I can make a choice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrael Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Silver Streak #6 for me...classic cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durden08 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I agree the prices are high on both, but if given the choice I'd take the Action 24. I always wanted a Church early Action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNYHUMAN Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Without a doubt, Silver Streak # 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareHighGrade Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Interesting matchup. The Silver Streak is by far the better cover (one of my favorites). But from a pure investment standpoint, the white-paged Church Action for 4x Guide easily prevails in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 both sold for $19,000 about 1 1/2 years ago.....which one would you choose, and why ? ( Silver Streak graders notes: collection of Nicholas Cage ) If the way we are playing this "game" is you have cash in hand and must pick one of the two to buy then I would take the Silver Streak. That is a book that would stay in my collection for the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Both sold for approx. $41,000 in 2007. Which one would you choose, and why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicparadox Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 If I were to choose to spend $41k on a funnybook, I'd choose batman 1. Why? Batman 1. Iconic character. Higher mid-grade book. Wow factor. Silver Streak, the Claw, or the GA Daredevil? Not iconic, at least to the vast majority of CURRENT collectors. Mile High - yes, incredible high grade, but of what title. Hitler - negative Q rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 as a batman fan, I guess I would choose the bat 1...but, as discussed when the book was auctioned by heritage late last year, that book does not appear to me to be better than a 5.5 ? so, I think the price paid is excessive relative to the grade I consider it to be...a 9.4 MH is great, and I do like the DD v hitler book, but since I don't collect HG, I would still defer to bat 1 gator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1koko Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Leaning towards the Bat #1 but price considering grade issues is high. I'd have bought Rick's and kept the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Both sold for approx. $41,000 in 2007. Which one would you choose, and why ? Batman #1 all day long and twice on Sunday. It is an iconic book, the other is anectdotal. Grade shmrade. Batman #1 is one of the greats of the great in comicdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 batman #1 for me too. A book I would keep, DD would be fun to have, but would eventually flip for something I liked more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
