Book folk might enjoy watching this auction Action Comics #1

I have been a collector since I was a kid in the late 60s and this was always that holy grail. I know more copies have surfaced since then. At the time I first became interested in comic books I believe there were 4 or 5 copies known to exist. Now there are more but still it's pretty much non-existant.

Wanna predict the final price? I am thinking in this condition it has to push the $500k level. It's not mint or even close but the cover and pages are good to excellent, the color is good and it is complete. It would have helped had they had it graded. But on something like this, unless it's pure mint or just a mess, the condition is really not that much of an issue. It's the corner stone for all collectors and especially so for a DC collector.

The whole collection that seller is offering right now it amazing. Best I ever had was the first 20 books in the Fantastic Four series, Showcase #4 (first Silver Age Flash) and the first 10 from the Hulk Series. Last I had 15 of the first 25 Spiderman series, did not have #1 but had 3, 4, 6, 8 and a bunch of the teens and a few 20s. BTW, those did pay for my college tuition. I would have been better off working at a 7-11 and keeping them...I would have made more money all were in XF to mint condition. Not sure what that is in today's rating system but it was as good as they came back then. I still did OK as they all, with about 100 other good to key comics of the Silver Age era, did like I mention, pay for my college degrees.

So, enjoy of you are into this or ever were...
