G.A.tor Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 My Superman # 1 is actually the 3rd highest graded on the census ! I am 100% in agreement with you..sure, the AT Tec 38 is "unique" but there are a LOT of tec 38's out there that for a lot less money, would make you happy...there are virtually NO SM 1 in 6.0 and above...you made the RIGHT choice P!

It would be a tough call for me. I agree that there are not a lot, or virtually no, copies of Supes 1 in 6.0 and above. However, there are not too many Allentown big keys floating around either. Not sure what I would have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 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. I'll take the Action #7. To me Tec's went from one of most desirable books (pre-Robin days of course) but when Robin came on board they ruined the franchise. Would be like Rambo coming out of the closet (not that there is anything wrong with that) and making a non violent Rambo 4 movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Both sold for approx. $70,000 within the past 18 months. Which one would you choose, and why ? (Marvel for me ) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAP Freak Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Very Tiugh. Marvel Comics #1 cuz I don't like PLOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 action 1 (and I am still kicking myself in the arse for not cut bidding!)...why, because it is action 1 and I could never afford a copy that looks that nice, any other way than restored...

ciorac Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Action 1 without hesitation. The major key of all time vs. what? Key #5? #6 maybe? No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Mmm, this is a toughy, but I'd go with Action 1 because it is the key of all keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agro23 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Action 1 because you'd probably never get a second chance but Marvel 1's pop up all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Action 1, that copy looks pretty darn nice. As a side note, Marty Hayes had a copy of Action 1 that looked very similar back in 1988. He was asking $25k for it so it is about a 3x increase in about 20 years. How good of an investment was this versus and unrestored copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durden08 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Action #1. "The" ultimate key and IMO has more upside in value over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
