ciorac Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 3-4-1-2. easy I would choose those rows also. Action 25 because writing on Batman 6 There is writing on the Action 25 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbush-Man Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'd take the Action # 25 over the Batman too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, missed that. Well then, Action 25 has less intrusive writing on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Someone better report me to the mods.......I am a complete madman and out of control on this one.........both sold for approx $59,000 within the past year. The More Fun graders note "very minor amount of color touch and glue". The All-Story pulp from 1912....small tear seal on the rear cover, and is the "Action #1" of the pulp world. Which one would you choose, and why? ...........or for me....I'd choose the All-Story pulp, have the minor tear seal removed by Matt Nelson, and be thrilled to own the #1 pulp of them all............how many chances to you get to own the #1 most desirable rare item in any collectibles market? Additionally, this copy of All-Story is one of the nicest known copies by far of the few which have surfaced over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 All Story pulp from 1912 In a split second. Easy easy easy choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Someone better report me to the mods.......I am a complete madman and out of control on this one.........both sold for approx $69,000 within the past year. The More Fun graders note "very minor amount of color touch and glue". The All-Story pulp from 1912....small tear seal on the rear cover, and is the "Action #1" of the pulp world. Which one would you choose, and why? Neither one gets the juices flowing for me, but I'm more impressed with the All-Story. Far greater historical significance, and I'm unimpressed with the first appearance of a character who took about 20 years to make it on a cover (Am I wrong about this?). I realize the pulp also has a small amount of restoration, but would the MF have sold for as much with a purple label, because it sure seems like that book got the "pedigree pass" on glue and color touch.

Aman619 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 All Story for me too. Even though its a pulp, Tarzan is one of the most recognized fictional characters worldwide, who is continually renewed in the media.... and he will be 100 years old in a few years, and this is supposed to be perhaps the best copy (from the best collection of pulps) even with the tear seal... I like first appearances of GA JSA characters, but MF73 never really made it for me. Oh, I seem to recall it sold for "only" 59K not 69K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action1kid Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Tarzan or Aquamans 1st Appearence? Is there really a choice? Plus the More Fun 53 is restored. Im not going to be played with the blue label. Tarzen by 31 Lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The pulp, I think I heard a DTA interview with Vince Z on Comic Zone and he said that maybe only 5 of these are estimated to be in existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare to say the least. I could find the More Fun easier than the All-Story. It's the Pulp Collector's Action Comics # 1,............just almost imposssible to find (estimated at 10-20 copies existing). No contest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 OK.....since no one was too impressed with MF73, let's try a stronger GA book matched up against the same All-Story. NOW which one would you choose? (still with both sales at/around $59k) ............or still the All-Story for me....but this time, I did not decide so quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Still the All-Story. I just don't see Superman Man #2 as a 60K book, even in that shape. Now if it were an Action #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
