Yannis Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Let's kick start this aggain. Bought both for approximately same amounts. Which one would you choose and why? I will take the AA 16. I love both books very much, but the AA has a special place in my heart. So there it is. KOKO1 Adventure 40! Sandman is way more awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutie Fan Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Superman # 1,that’s not even a contest. Far more important character, far more important book. Whats going on here??? The last I saw there was a contest between Double Action and Batman 6. Post must have been deleted. There was a choice of Superman #1 (in 4.0 I think) and an 8.5 Hulk 1. I had not seen the thread active in some time and it was a new post so I replied. I am 99% sure it was a new post from Steve but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I choose both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutie Fan Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Oh and AA16 on the new question. Such a rare book it would be hard to choose anything over it as who knows when you would get another shot. I don’t think that Adventure 40 is as rare, but I could be mistaken.

Not sure either but both are great. Its just that the Sandman cover is just slightly more awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By a narrow margin I agree - just too rare, cool and big a key to pass up - though overall I find the idea of collecting Sandman Adventures more appealing than GL All-Americans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 they are both awesome and if I had the coin, I would give it to own either ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I choose whichever one has a Creig Flessel cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seank Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'll have to go with the first Green Lantern also. Although the Sandman book is tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbush-Man Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'd have to say the All-American, but this was a tough one.....I do like that Sandman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 George nice couple of books to choose from, this is tough. First thought is the AA#16 because the Lantern is one of my favorite characters and that book is notorious to find in any condition. Same applies to the AA#40, one of my favorite GA covers but the significance of it (or lack therefof) knocks down its "must have" value for me. If it was an 8.0+ grade then it would really be a tough choice but in the end of the you have to go with the AA#16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1koko Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have it as 8 - 7 currently to AA#16. Both rare and difficult to find. CGC census figures: Adv #40 8 unrestored - highest 7.0 (this one) - anyone know if there is a Church copy and its grade? AA #16 13 unrestored - highest 9.4 (Church copy - mine 8th highest) Rick would know better than me the number that have been seen in the market over the last couple of years but I think unrestored Adv #40s have been less (a relative term in this case) available.

Silver Surfer Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Bangzoom has a nice AA#16 that probably would rank just below the Church copy but does he own an Adv #40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
