For those that don't read the Timely thread, I will post this here.

 

Not only is this a key book and a pedigree, it represents for me as a collector the ultimate milestone. This was the last key GA comic I needed to own to have owned every single one of them

 

:whee:

Newest pickup! Obviously low grade with some bad piece replacement "restoration" to the bottom corner, but still presents well for what it is.

After this one's arrival today this is officially my oldest book. My favorite part of the cover is the date printed on the top. It's interesting how DC stopped printing the date with Action 22 and switched from the parallelogram to the circle for the price with Action 24. I prefer the older parallelogram ten cents.

It has 4 major defects, of which only the tanning detracts from how it looks. Cover is completely split in 2, tanning to the cover, there's a horizontal tear from the left edge of the book through Superman's chest into the missile, and there's a piece missing from the first page that slightly affects the art. I'm very happy with it. Now I just need to get 17, 19,20, and 22.

If I had to pick a side...I prefer Batman the character, but I prefer the Superman covers.
