buttock Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Daredevil without hesitation. The Bat 1 has no appeal for a 6.5, and I'd be happier with a decent appearing lower grade copy. The DD is one of the classic books of the GA - despite not having an iconic hero. That book is SO cool on the interior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Both sold for approx. $41,000 in 2007. Which one would you choose, and why ? DD #1 for me. why? White pages! Hitler cover! Claw appearance! 9.4! Edgar Church MH Copy! Highest graded copy! All heroes in the book battle Hitler in each story! Claw battles Hitler!

seank Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 the choice is almost a coin flip, but Batman, because I'm a Batman fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.schomburg Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Cap 1, He is my favorite character, I have a real nice SP 7.0 which has similar eye appeal, but an unrestored VF Cap 1 would be, well the pride of my collection. Its also a first appearance of a major player, I believe on par with Batman 1, so it really is about the better cover and better character for me personally. Also the sale of my current Cap 1 would buy some very nice books, maybe a nice down on a restored MC #1...ahhhh to dream! Someday if mortgages start rolling again, maybe I could swing it...

I didn't notice Working at a bank that has taken US$10BN of losses due to US sub-prime mortgages I can tell you that most banks are out of this market for good.

Must be that key book bump up or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
