These 2 books both sold a few years ago for the exact same price- $57,500

this offers the choice of a high grade key, or a low grade Mega-key.

Which one would you choose?

Price inflation on Action #1 has been enormous since that book sold on Heritage, while All-Flash #1 is clearly stagnant. I bet that Action would go for $75K or more today. I don't see anyone picking the All-Flash in that comparison.

Action 1. I bet with a soft eraser and some diluted bleach I could make that book look a lot better, too.

 

No, no - Wonderbread.

So, is nobody going to point out that the Marvel #1 8.5 and the Marvel #1 9.0 are the same copy? Does that change any answers?

 

 

and here are mine:

Cap 1, Supey 1, Wonder Woman 1, Marvel 1, Marvel 1 again (you could sell it and buy a couple of the restored Actions), Subby 3, Four Color 9, Phantom Lady 17, Action 1

 

And I agree with Centaurman - the All-Flash vs. the Action #1 is not even close to a comparison anymore. Value-wise, maybe that super-high grade All Winners #1 would be. But certainly no one would take even the highest graded All Winners over a solid unrestored Action would they?

well this thread is going to die out soon if there are too many "no contests", as the whole point is to compare 2 very comparable books so they can be judged with split decisions as to which would be a better choice and why.

 

I think this is a lot closer as to what I'm trying to do here with this thread.....this a real toss up for me / both sold for around $15k.....which would you choose?

(I think I'd have to go with ol' Cap Marvel)
