showcase4 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Assuming that values are the same. Perhaps the rarest of all Timely's, an unrestored #1 October copy (is there even another copy that exists?) or: [/img] [/img] I'll take the mid-grade Nic Cage October Marvel #1 over the high grade MMC #9 all day long ....... mega-key #1, and super rare variant at that, trumps Classic Cover / cool Superhero battle MC#1 and being pedantic if the October copy came out first it isn't the variant George, you are such a scintillating conversationalist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Diggler Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 MC 1. Grail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Just as a side bar does anyone who has first hand knowledge of the condition of the MMC#9 feel that it could be pressed to a high grade, say a 9.0, or are the defects going to keep it where it is? This could be the toughest choice yet. on MMC9, I know who owns the 9.0 chicago, the 7.0 and a 6.5, but who owns that 8.0 That 8.0 is the (now) 9.0 Chicago. I think I can live with that, seeing as it was (the 8.0) removed from the census Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbush-Man Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 MC 1. Grail. Same here. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agro23 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 MC#1. It's on the Gerber books. That and Action #1 are my all time (never obtainable) grails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 October MC 1 for me too. Me too Jeff. Hardly any choice at all. Wouldn't give the MC 9 a second thought in this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 October MC 1 for me too. Me too Jeff. Hardly any choice at all. Wouldn't give the MC 9 a second thought in this deal. Oddly enough the MC#1 I believe sold last year for $80K and a CGC 9.0 MMC#9 would probably sell for around that much today. Defintely feel that $80k for the MC#1 is way, way undervalued.

ashrael Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Marvel 1 over Fantastic Comics 3 (not even close) More Fun Comics 54 over Marvel 1 (that Marvel is just too crusty for me at this point) Detective 27 (7.5 PLOD) over More Fun 52 (6.0): you gotta love the bats and pick up a beautiful copy when you can Batman 1 (9.0) over Flash Comics 1 (9.6): Batman is more important, better known, and features the 1st Joker and Catwoman. I don't really care who owned or found a book, so pedigrees don't really matter to me. Marvel 1 (5.0 October) over MMC 9 (8.0): Very easy pick for me here. October is uber-rare so definately that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miraclo Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Marvel #1 for me as well. Can't see passing that copy up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 a SA/GA match up for you guys......interested to see what you will pick. Both sold for approx. $150,000.....which one would you choose, and why ? (easy one for me -- Spidey #1. With that many Pesos on the line, I would need a book that has it all, and that Spidey does. The Action #7 sale seemed to suprise just about everyone, suggesting to me that history may not repeat itself sales price wise if that book / a comparable copy comes up for sale again. With Spidey #1 ---- no worries at all. That $150k is safe....plus...it's Spidey ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Action 7. I've never owned 1. I've had a couple of Spidey 1's back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimm Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Spidey #1 CGC 9.6!... that Action is not even a little interesting... and I sincerely doubt that that price will be reached again anytime soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAP Freak Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Amazing Spider-Man #1 to sell and by more GA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertotorres Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 this one is hard. i might buy asm 1 just to resell and buy some GA. or i might buy the action 7 because it is an action 7 :hail: i choose option 1 (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I always choose which book I want on an emotional, collectors level and not financial, since I wouldn't be able to spend 150,000 dollars on any book.(unless it was the Church Action 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 high grade ASM are scarce, but not "rare".... Action 7 is rare period... A7 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither book is worth $150,000.00 IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
