Bronty Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 much as I'd love to have a tec 1, I'd take either the TOS 39 or the Cap 1. Those books just mean more to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimm Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 TEC #1... I see it less (a LOT less)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Probably would still have to go with the Tec #1 as there are Cap's available for sale all the time, same can't be said for the Tec's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomG Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 TEC #1, but I would take the TOS #39 if it had white pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 TOS39 vs Tec 1 Cap1 vs Tec 1 Tec 1 is clearly a very cool book, but doesnt beat a true first appearance for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Alright! Here we go again! I still would go with the Detective! In Blue, its almost impossible to find. I'm with Yannis on this one. Tough choice, the Cap is a killer book. But Tec 1 is Tec 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 The availability issue is a valid consideration - but when it comes down to it, if I were able to routinely afford to drop 25K on a single book - I would probably be looking for a Cap #1 - but not be interested in Tec #1 - I mean it's cool and all but imagine explaining it's value to a non-comic collector with a limited knowledge of comics. NCC: "Wow twenty-five thousand - why is it worth so much?" Fanboy: "It's the first issue of the comic Batman originally appeared in." NCC: "The first Batman comic - that's cool - why isn't he on the cover?' Fanboy: "He's not in this issue - he didn't appear until issue #27, but this is the first issue of the run." NCC: "Oh, so why is it so valuable?" Fanboy; "Well they are still publishing Detective comics, and it's where DC got it's name." NCC: "DC?" Fanboy: "The company that's published Batman and Superman for seventy years." NCC: "Cool, so it's the first DC comic, awesome." Fanboy: "Well, no, it's not the first DC comic." NCC: "........oh."

seank Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Tec 1 over TOS 39. Iron Man Cap 1 over Tec 1. I'd rather get a restored Tec with some eye appeal, kind of like that one Ronaldo sold earlier this year. And any cover with Hitler getting it on the jaw is worthwhile.

shiverbones Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 more fun 52. that is a BEAUTIFUL copy. A perfectly registered copy of marvel 1 with bright inks may win, but not that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw-Man Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 much as I'd love to have a tec 1, I'd take either the TOS 39 or the Cap 1. Those books just mean more to me i am so in tune with all but the first clause of this post. here is my bottom-line. i cannot stress how little of the collecting part of me would like to own a detective 1. truly, not a smidgen. i'd never pull it out of it's box to look at it. i LOVE tos 39, and love iron man. cap 1 is a grail to me. other than flipping for a profit, i'd never consider owning a 'tec 1. the idea of it being a "great cover" is befuddling to me. i do recognize it's lineage, however. doesn't make me want to own it 'tho.
