batman_fan Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 National, one of the classic covers by Lou Fine. The Police is cool as well but Plastic Man is a second level hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Steve what an awful choice, how about I sayeth nay to both. $20,000 on crack seems like a better option at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 As much as I love Phantom Lady, I'll have to go with the 9.6 Mile High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 That's a tough choice. The first Plastic Man story by Cole is fantastic, but the National has such a gorgeous cover. Since it's a Mile High, I guess I would choose the National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumantorch Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 National, both beautiful comics but would rather have a 9.6 Mile High over a 9.2 Windy City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou_fine Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Steve what an awful choice, how about I sayeth nay to both. $20,000 on crack seems like a better option at this point. Well, it would seem that this sentiment, particularly with respect to the National #7, was confirmed through the results of several Heritage auctions after this initial sale. After hitting $20,700 in early 2004, it failed to meet reserve in several subsequent auctions until it was eventaully resold for a measly $11,950 in early 2007. Back to the question though, a classic Lou Fine cover with a third tier character versus a #1 issue with the first appearance of Plastic Man and Phantom Lady. National Comics #7 with the highest graded copy (by far) of a HTF book versus a much more common book that is not even the highest graded copy. An undervalued National #7 at only $3,500 in top of guide versus an overvalued Police #1 at $13,500 in top of guide. Hmmm.....let me see, if I had to make a choice between these two, it would have to be the National Comics #7, since an Edgar Church would always win out over a Windy City.

mr.schomburg Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Based upon rarity and cover the National 7 is tops, plus a church book. Then again Plastic Man is always been kinda cool to me, but 20K for either would be more than I would pay for either one. For 10K I would take the National, over 10K for the Police, but at 20K I would have to pass. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seank Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Price and condition are comparable. Which would you choose? Boot to the head: or Bayonet to the gut: Edited May 11, 2008 by seank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 such weird marketing! Youve got your standard war comics action scene, and a nearly naked girl (in bondage yet) thrown in for extra added effect! Genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Price and condition are comparable. Which would you choose? or Bayonet to the gut: Bayonet. Not only did the Japanese soldier get the point, but he was able to internalize it as well. Edited May 11, 2008 by adamstrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 For cover graphics the bayonet to the gut - but for actual books - the Fight #42 - the colors are vivid - the Ranger's are faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
