Marvel Mystery Comics #8 (1940) CGC Universal 3.5 or Mystic Comics #1 (1940) CGC Universal 5.0 They are both lame covers, so if I had to choose I guess I would go with the higher grade.

That's funny, that's exactly how I feel about the Tec 35 cover, but I guess beauty in in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowzilla Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Figured I would save Steve the trouble of doing this later. Both of these have been off the market for years, so it's hard to say what the market value is, but if you could pick one, blah, blah, blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 AF 15, no question. I would wager that the AF 15 is worth significantly more, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimm Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Man, this is the hardest match-up yet... I don't collect either character, both books are significantly important to their respective ages, and both are iconic, world-renowned covers... I guess, based on rarity alone, I would take the Action... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Action #2 over Tec #225 - court copy provenance makes up for resto - and the cover is cooler. Mystic #1 - I guess - though MM#8 should be a bigger key - isn't it the first actual meeting/battle between Torch & Subby? - #9 gets all the attention due to the lame Angel cover on #8 Tough choice on the Af #15 vs. Action #1 - I wouldn't hold on to either one - so whatever I could flip for the most.

G.A.tor Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 my thoughts are while I personally would choose the action 1, the AF15 in 9.6 is currently worth likely double what that 6.5 action would bring (my guess is $750k-to maybe even 1million) versus $500K or so... just a guess, I have nothing to back those numbers up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these have been off the market for years, so it's hard to say what the market value is, but if you could pick one, blah, blah, blah screw the money ( AF15 probably worth considerably more )......I have Golden Age blood running thru my veins..........Action 1 for me. Nothing trumps Action 1 ( especially a gorgeous, mid-grade CGC graded unrestored / no graders notes copy with nice PQ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seank Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Action 1 for me too. Rarity, significance, GA, and a Zatara story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Spidey is my favorite CB character but no way I could pick anything but the Action 1 as for the other comparisons...Action 2, & Mystic 1 though I really don't like either of those books in Dizzy's comparison as I am a cover art fanatic and neither one of those covers does it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedude Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'll take the Action #1 definitely, I can always get an AF15 (not in 9.6 of course), at either the next comic con I go to or Clink, Metro, etc. I missed the boat about 3 years ago when my LCS owner had a 7.0 he was asking $7,000 for, and at the time I thought that price was too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
