tth2 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Both sold for $38,000 in August of 2009. ( I know which one I would pick in 1/2 of 1 second, and it wouldn't be the Adventure ). But....this thread is not about me, it's about you! So......which one would you choose, and why? Archie #1 in a nanosecond. Much rarer book, much cooler book, and if you are into the value side of the hobby, better upside. The grade thingy in the corner is of no moment to me when comparing these two books Just the opposite. Not being a girl, I'll take Sandman. Following your logic, then are you saying: Adventure in a lightyear, because it is more common, less cool, into the value side of the hobby; but unconcerned that it would be a loss position investment going forward, focused on the grade thingy, but more manly than the Archie? Growing up, my sister bought the Archies, and I bought the Marvels and DCs. Ergo, Archies are girls` books, no matter how old and scarce they are. So I will just never be able to bring myself to pay money for an Archie, and therefore I must go for the Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Might be heresy, but I'd take the Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 From a collecting perspective the adventure, from an investment perspective Archie, though I'm not sure how much upside there is on either book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashrael Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Archie 1 CGC 7.0 over Adventure 47 CGC 9.6 I don't really care who owned a book (ie, pedigrees) so I will take the key issue in Archie Comics 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straw-Man Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Archie for me too because its much harder to find and the cover ain't so bad arch for me too, not because it does anything for me, but because i love guy holcombe books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seank Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Both sold for approx. $45,000 5 years ago.....which one would you choose, and why? Is neither an option? Or crack? If I was really forced to pick, I'd go with Suspense 3 just for the cover. Bigger wow factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
