G.A.tor Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 since I already owned that Tec 27, and should have owned that Action 1, I will go with action 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreLauren Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Detective #27... I collect Batman... got no love for the big blue doof... and investment wise... I deem them equal, seeing as how Supes was first, but Batman is bigger (commercially), and cooler, and has more appeal... This sums my reasoning up as well. I was never a big Superman fan, but Batman has always been one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Action #1 - never had one. Really Me either. But then I've never had a Tec 27, Marvel 1, Flash 1, AF 15, Superman 1, Batman 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Phishin' Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Both!! After sleeping on it, Ill go with Action #1.. With all of these Batman movies, the price on the Tec 27 has gone up... Now to think if they ever made a good Supes movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 super tough choice, I just can't decide. Action #1 is edging it a bit for me, but I just can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 does grade really matter much on Extensively restored books ? not to me. Action #1 all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fashion PB and J Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 This is tough. I am a Batman fan through and through, but would probably go with the Action 1. My primary reason collecting GA is the history of comics. Hence me collecting through ALL the ages (superhero only). So while Bats is cooler, and would be a beautiful crown jewel to my collection. I would say the Action 1 for historic importance, and my love and respect for the medium. First appearance of a Major GA character I love would be great. But to have the first "superhero" comic outweighs it for me. Action 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase4 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Both sold in the $150,000-$160,000 range. Which one would you choose, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Both sold in the $150,000-$160,000 range. Which one would you choose, and why? Cap 1 I love Showcase 4 (the COMIC, so don't get too excited Stevie), but I can't see paying that kind of money for a SA book.

Old Fashion PB and J Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Again I go against the grain. Well maybe not again. But I would go with Showcase 4. And here is why. While Captain America is THE Marvel comics chracter of the GA. I would say the book lacks to me the historic value. I would take the Showcase for the first Barry Allen, and the revival of the Superhero. I also find those old DC's to be very tough in those grades, and believe the book may still rise in value. While Cap is GREAT and I would love to own that book, I would have to go with The Flash! If my choice was between Cap 1 and Flash 1 I would go Cap..

Paratrooper Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Captain America, easy. Before choosing the Paratrooper theme for my collection, I considered titles with "Captain" in it. (my rank is captain). But thought that might be beyond my means, price wise. Unknownst to me how much this Trooper collection is going to cost me.
