Socratic Wonder Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 allentown tec 38...only one of those...there are other action 7's (though I might never see another one!) Well, it looks like a clean sweep for the Allentown copy of 'Tec 38 so far. A little surprsiing considering all the Robin haters on the boards here. Even more so when you consider how common the 'Tec 38 is in comparison to the Action 7. I guess it must have something to do with the high price the Action 7 was able to get in this go round, relative to its perceived market value. Plus the Allentown factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentaurMan Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yeah, you guys know I'm all about scarcity, but 'Tec 38 is simply too significant a book to pass up, factoring in the higher grade and the pedigree. It's not a "cool" book, but I'd have more confidence in that copy retaining its value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hand ® Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 You know, I've always thought it was a cool book but I've had to keep that opinion low, because so many poke fun at poor Robin. But I thought it was a decent origin and the addition of Robin, brought..........ah, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a "cool" book, but I'd have more confidence in that copy retaining its value. Yeah, a nice scarce comic is great but for that kind of money it has to be a major comic. Like him or hate him, the first appearance of Robin is a big deal and more worthy of crazy money, especially with the grade and the pedigree, than the 2nd cover of Superman, cool though the cover is. Also, with both being the best graded copies, a significant other may be able to understand a very high grade copy of the first Robin...less understanding with the highest grade of the 7th Superman appearance...at least for those who need to take into consideration such things. Tec 38 in an easy decision for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action1kid Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 tec 38 by a Mile historical significance..1st Robin. !st superhero side kick Ultra high grade 9.4 is the BEST overall copy[not just cgc census] A Pedigree !, From the Greatly admired Allentown collection. Rare in grade.[like it or not] jUst seeing Allentown on a slab should be considered a great achievement. action 7 histoical significance [2nd Superman covered.] ho-hummmm high grade 8.0 but not ultra high grade. not the best copy[only on census] not a pedigee rare in even 8.0 no comparison re/....that tec 38 sold years ago for [[126K]]..It would have fetched more than the recent Action 7 sold for if sold today..no comparison and remember, I love SUPERMAN 1ST.

action1kid Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have a real life comparison. I was very seriously considering making a go for the Allentown Tec 38 a few years back.I choose not to because I was offered and purchased a Cgc 6.0 Unrestored Superman # 1 IN 6.0 that I choose over the Allentown TEC 38.Im not saying I would have WON the Allentown Tec 38 but I darn well may have if I tried....Would you have picked the Supey too??? Do you think I made the better choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I made the better choice? I think you made the right choice. From a collector and investment standpoint (thumbs u First its the old bird in the hand theory. If you were offered the Supe 1 for a flat price, then its easier to take that then try and win an auction for who knows how much. Second......your a Superman fan!! Third an unrestored 6.0 Superman #1 might damn well be one of the10 highest graded copies. Its not a 9.4 Allentown, but I think everyone can agree that an unrestored Superman #1 in 6.0 would be tough as nails to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
