PokerKid Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Action #2 wins 10-6. Which one would you choose and why? I'll go with the Green Lantern #1 over Detective #3. I really don't like the cover to the Detective all that much, and I'd rather have a #1 with a higher grade. Det. #3 - There is a charm about those early Tec books that I love. Also, it's from 1937!!!

RareHighGrade Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mysterymen #1. Key Fox book that tops the CGC census. 1st appearance of several characters, including Blue Beetle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Action #2 wins 10-6. Which one would you choose and why? Very tough GL #1 pro: Key book, great cover con: not scarce Detective #3: pro:Scarce, looks undergraded, Flessel cover pedigree con: not one of his best covers, a lot of money for a non-key.

Mutie Fan Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Man that is tough. I don’t know anything about the scarcity of either one of the books. On the one hand you have an uber high grade, white paged, church book with a great cover. On the other hand you have a first issue, highest graded (and still HG for GA) , with 1st appearances and in my opinion an even better cover. I have to go with the Adventure and I have no idea why. Not like I can afford either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutie Fan Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 BTW, you did post a Superman #1 vs Hulk #1 a few days ago didn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mile High DC. I'm not terribly interested in either, but I'd prefer to own a DC at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Phishin' Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mystery Men.. Top census, I like the characters more so I feel it is a more important book. It is also a book from the 30's AND it has a much cooler cover imho, so I would go with the MM #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telerites Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 OK.....I un-quit posting here. Both sold for approx. $18,500 just last month at Heritage. Which one would you choose, and why? Tough one for me - The Adventure has Burnley's Starman and the first Shining Knight by Flessel. Plus a white page MH but that MM is very cool starting with the Fine cover and it is a pedigree also. I'd go with Mystery Men Comics #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimm Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mystery Men Comics #1... better cover, and more key, highest graded, and 1st appearances... early Fox beats DC, for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'll go with the Adventure, because of the Church pedigree and the fact that I would like to put a 61 - 72 run together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
