showcase4 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cap #1 OK...let's get back to GA vs.GA Both sold for approx. $12k. The CDNP is the Mile High Copy, graded at NM- / unrestored. (by Heritage --- for me, an NM- can't have a tear at the top of the spine ) Which non-Superhero book for $12,000 would you choose, and why?

Superman2006 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Action 1 vs. Detective 27 - I choose both (though I may never own either) Captain America #1 by a longshot over Showcase #4 for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAP Freak Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Scrooge. The cover on the CNDP is just ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannis Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Crime by a hair. Have to say, kind of like the Duck cover even though I usually don't go for funny covers. But have to stick with the comic formerly known as Silver Streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimm Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 hmmm... I would have to go with the Scrooge... Carl Barks is just awesome, and I don't even collect Funny Animal books... Those CDNPs, while cool enough, just don't attract me to pay that kind of money for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cap 1 (although I would love to own a Showcase 4) Barks Cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I like a knife through the hand cover as much as the next guy, but for that money, Scrooge #1 is the one with the longevity as I see it, especially in 9.2. Besides then I could sell my low grade FC386 & make back like $120 of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cap #1 (never was much of a Flash fan - especially the SA version - though I can appreciate how scarce the book is in that sort of grade) CDNP #22 ( although I'm perfectly happy to own a nice looking VG that was a fraction of the price) If the FC were the 1st appearance of US - I could see giving it more weight - but while I love a good Scrooge McDuck story - pre-code crime has always been a favorite genre of mine.

Flash105 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Showcase 4- It has the higher grade and has a lot more room to run price wise. Suprisingly, if you look at the census, SC4 and Cap1 have about the same number of copies from 8.5 up. Historically, I would argue SC4 is more important. Looks wise, the both have killer covers. Longterm, I think the issue is not golden vs. silver but supply and demand which I think demand would favor SC4. And of course I am a Flash fan, so that helps as well.

ashrael Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Cap 1 over Showcase 4 - not even close FC 386 over Crime Does Not Pay - Classic Scrooge over a crime book that I don't really know anything about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Captain America, easy. Before choosing the Paratrooper theme for my collection, I considered titles with "Captain" in it. (my rank is captain). ohhhh, as in Captain Morgan? (said as I sip vodka and Sprite! ) ha! wish I was drinking. Stopped drinking during weekdays, training for another marathon I'm training for a marathon also --- see how quick I can inihilate my liver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
