ciorac Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 You keep posting some real tough ones. I would go for the Human Torch because of the dust shadow on the Sensation. Both are really nice but at the end of the day, the Human Torch looks nicer to me. I agree 100% with batman_fan on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase4 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Both sold around 4 years ago for around $20,000. Which one would you choose, and why ? .........or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 OMG, I instantly thought MMC5...have I been converted? (PARKER!, EVANS!, Chochran-MOORE!, what have you done...quick, bill, bring me back...please....) rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Amen. I'd take single copy of the MMC over two copies of batman (arbitrage opportunities aside, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PARKER!, EVANS!, Chochran-MOORE!, what have you done...quick, bill, bring me back...please....) rick Sorry Rick, I would take the Marvel in this case too. The 140 just never did a whole lot for me. He was always kind of a poor man's Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Both sold around 4 years ago for around $20,000. Which one would you choose, and why ? = MMC#5 should run away with this one, you never see that issue in that grade or higher. A far more dramatic and edgy cover I might add.

Which one would you chosse, and why ? .....or Another nice choice but the Sub-Mariner should be take this one by a wide margin. Love them both but I think they are way more HT's in VF or better than there are SMC #1's. I think a 9.0 is the highest copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrin_Radd Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I choose Detective 140, but I'd rather spend 1/5th of that and get a VF copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I want that Marvel 5 so bad I can taste it. I used to own it. Sold it to Fishler in '99 so he could flip it to Cage. I was buying a house and used Marvel Mystery Comics for the down payment. All of them (9.0 #2, Chicago #4, Larson #5,plus 10 or so others went to Cage). The present owner apparently wants significantly more than $20,000 (my understanding is 38K). If it were in the 30K range I would buy it in an instant.
