action1kid Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 All-Story Oct 1912 (Munsey, 1912) Condition: Apparent FN. This is the first appearance of Tarzan in any medium! The importance of this pulp cannot be overstated, it is currently the single most valuable pulp magazine, and is considered rare with probably fewer than 20 existing copies. This copy must rank among the best in appearance, for it has a clean and fresh look, with a full, unblemished spine, good color, and good paper quality. Unrestored except for a tiny (and unnecessary) tear seal at the edge of the back cover. The front cover is virtually flawless. The "Tarzan of the Apes" tale in this pulp is Edgar Rice Burroughs' second published story, and the first under his own name. This publication preceded the McClurg book edition by almost two years and varies textually in a number of respects. This classic cover by Clinton Pettee, of Tarzan wrestling with a lion in the jungle, is the first published image of Tarzan. This copy comes in a custom-made cloth-covered box that slides into an absolutely lovely leather slipcase with gold-tooled spine, presentation befitting a truly exceptional item that would be the highlight of almost any collection. Bookery's Guide to Pulps GD value = $10,000; VG value = $20,000; FN value = $40,000.From the John McLaughlin Collection. Estimate: $25,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastExchange-migratio Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Nice book w/ or without the seal. BZ's copy is one I want to see. Edited May 7, 2008 by CarolinaComix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 this oughtta split some votes.... Ill say--- against what I expect to be loud denunciation, --- FF1. While I dont necessarily agree with the 250 price it has in this comparison, I think FF1 has more legs and liquidity than the worlds best, super-sweet Church Flash #1. To me it boils down to First rate vs second rate characters.... plus as time marches on, the extra 20 years a GA key has behind it (as older and rarer) means less and less compared to current comics business and character awareness.

Silver Surfer Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) Easily the Flash for the following reasons: - its a Church copy. - 20+ years older. - much hard to find in high grade, really a one of a kind book. - the FF#1 isn't even the highest graded copy.

1koko Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Flash for me too. I think there will be a reassesment of the price of the Flash after the AA#16 Church price debate. Most people 6 months ago would have said the Flash was overpriced. Now it's a good price. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonds25 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Since I grew up reading Fantastic Four and have more of a connection with it, I'd rather have the Fantastic Four #1. However, if someone were kind enough to give me the Flash #1, I wouldn't kick it to the curb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action1kid Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Ill bet ya because of the AA16 sale, this Flash is a hell of a lot more money than what it sold for last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
