ashrael Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Cap 1 over ASM 1 and Tec 27: I never liked the cover to ASM, but if it was an AF 15 it would be a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Cap all the way but my first choice was all three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-Tec Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 ASSUMING the asking prices are fair, let's take a little shopping trip to the ComicLink present Key Books for sale on their site / the exchange. for approx. $340,000, you could have the Cap 1 or the Tec 27 and Spidey 1, which are approx. $340,000 for both which one would you throw in yuor shopping cart, and why??? I would take the Tec #27 and ASM #1 over the Cap #1. If we were talking simply collector's enjoyment, I'd take just the Tec #27 over the Cap #1 (importance > grade). Batman and Spiderman are arguably the Top-2 superheroes in the world today. Cap, though iconic in his own right, is not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more (thumbs u I agree and I'd take the tec27/asm1 over the cap 1 as well. However, I think the folks that took the Cap 1 did so mainly because they like the higher grade or despised the tape on the tec27.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Plus the Cap at that grade level likely has way more upside in 5-10 years. I can see it selling for $500k in 5+ years but a low grade Tec #27 probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I made my choice purely on love of the characters and the tec27 being the only one of the three I have never owned And I'm a timely guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 As much as I love the tec 27, I'd probably take the Cap 1 as well because its higher grade (usually more appreciation in price) and because of the tape in the Tec 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primetime Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Here's an alternate question---throw out the grades and tape on the books--- does that change anyone's decision? And I guess we have to throw out the ASM 1...heck, to even out the values, lets compare a 9.2 cap 1 vs a 3.5/4.0 Tec 27---that's about equal value wise I think.

Well obviously I would rather have a Tec 27 over a Cap 1. But in the original example given I would take the 9.2 Cap. But if it were value equal, then the Tec wins for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
