spoonerism Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 'Tec 29 -- again against the grain of what'll probably resell better later. Three reasons: 1) Great cover! 2) Never had a 'Tec 29. 3) Already have a great (PLOD 5.5) DD #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertotorres Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 batman #1 over the action #1. i think i am one of the only people that don't care about action 1. i would love one but i would rather have detective 27 or batman 1. the batman is unrestored HG. much more rarer. and detective 29 over daredevil #1 detective 29 is my favorite cover of all.

killerkomics Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I collect pre-Robin Tecs. Therefore, hands down Tec #29 over Daredevil #1, for all the obvious reasons. Also, this is the 2nd Batman cover. This book is to Tec #27 what Action #7 is to Action #1, IMHO. Also, as for the purple label, this is definately a "buy the book and not the label". Can you imagine what this book would grade/worth if that spine was never detached $$$$$$ This is a key book from 1939 untouched(except for the spine, which was done for the right reason ), no trimming, no colour touch, no pieces added, no tear seals and so on. This book has all the upside than alot of other $20,000. and up books that I have seen sell lately. I think I've ramble on too long. Did I mention I take Tec #29 all day long! Tony.

Silver Surfer Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 MC#1 because its in a higher grade and overall much better condition, a more desirable pedigree and one of my favorite issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShadowKnows Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Both sold for $16,000 in 2005.

Not one of my favorite Schomburg covers.I will go with the ped tec 38. Now if it was a terrific... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimm Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Both sold for $90,000 in 2007. Which one, and why ? Definitely the Marvel Comics #1... better grade AND I don't really want any Superman in my collection... if I had any Superman books in my collection, I would sell them to buy Batman books... or Timely books... or Atom Age horror... or EC westerns... or Avon romance... or Badger original art... or... well, you get the point...
