showcase4 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Both sold for $7,400 in 2004/2005. Which one would you choose, and why??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agro23 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Cap 2 hands down. The Cap beats the out of the Action. Hitler cover. Better condition. The Action doesn't even have supes on it. Only thing going for it is the white pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seank Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Arrgh! Early Action v. Hitler cover!!!! I don't collect Action or Cap, but I like WWII history, so I'll have to go with the Hitler cover. (I'm happy to see this game is back!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimm Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I really like the NON-Superman Actions... but that Cap is just beautiful... really hard call, given the scarcity of the Action... hmmm... Think I would have to go with the Cap #2, based solely on the higher grade, nicer presentation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have to go with Simon & Kirby! What a great looking Captain America cover... (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Maybe a Cap 2 as well for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareHighGrade Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 action! very rare in unrestored, DC, third supe, white pages, o'mealia, shall i go on.... What he said. It's not even close for me. Perhaps those who voted for the Cap didn't notice that the bottom of the spine is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps those who voted for the Cap didn't notice that the bottom of the spine is missing. I agree with RHG and Swapto on this one. Cap 2 isn't in the same league as Action 3. Not even close.

G.A.tor Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 action 3 for me...much rarer than the cap, and it presents great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrael Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hmm, didn't noticed the missing chunk of spine on the Cap 2. I guess I will go for the Action #3 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimm Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I noticed the chunk missing, but I still think it looks WAY better than the Action... and would rather have it in my collection... but that might be because I really have no use for Superman...

Miraclo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I don't know why, but those Timely covers don't do anything for me compared to the artwork on early DC covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Both sold for $16,000 in 2005. A match-up between a mid-grade Superhero semi-key ( some would say Key ), and a very high grade, high demand Classic Cover......... mmmm, mmmm good!

piper Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'll take the Tec. The Startling is a great cover and high grade, but I would rather have the mid grade key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agro23 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 For personal collecting give me the Startling but for value and later sale, The Tec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 'Tec 38. Larson pedigree, first Robin, a story I happen to like a lot. The other book is nice, but it's mostly a pretty cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miraclo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Have to go with the Larson Tec, pedigree makes it one off. That is guaranteed to appreciate in 10+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
