NP. I can CashApp you $010. PM your handle. ;'p

Agreed. Kinda regretting not buying the Action Comics 1 I saw for sale at the turn of the century. I did snag a complete set of Spiderman 1 - 35 for 5k in 2004 off of eBay. That was a nice score. Only 2 restored comics out of the whole bunch; very minor. I would had never would think these books would be worth so much.

I purchased a Superman 1 for 30k in 2012, I may be able to sell it for near 150k (source HA). I purchased a Batman 1 for 35k, I can sell it also for near 100k. I can sell my Dec 27 for north of 375k and I think I purchased it around 2000 for 18k. Just saying the prices now are crazy.

You should get an insurance policy for your comics and collectibles. I have my collectibles with Markel.

Very true. I remember years ago when many people said I was crazy to buy restored books. While not the majority of my books, they are worth the most. One, it's hard to let them go now. Two, the pool of people able to afford them is getting lower and lower. My restored Batman 1, Superman 1, DC 1 and DC 27; all restored; have jumped sky-high out of no where. I also have a 4.0 AM 15 I paid 5k for in 2005. I was shocked when someone offered me 26k for it. I am thinking we're in a bubble.

I just checked HA's website and the solds for restored Superman 1, Batman 1, Dec. Comics 1, etc. are going for really crazy amounts. What am I missing?? I mean some can purchase a home after a sale.

Thank you for the kind words. No ego, just thought it was a bit unique to have the then highest graded AC 100.

In time

Too bad those guys who received the SM1 and SM2 didn't keep them around.. They'd be worth tens of thousands; if not more.

Miss the fact I had the highest grade. It was one of the main reasons why I purchased AC 100 at a premium back then.

The red head looks like Lucille Ball.

Anyone think it is worth considering sending in to CGC and pressing the NYWF 1940 and/or Action Comics 100? No way the 9.8 got there raw after 82 years in storage.

Not sure what you mean. I understand they are worth some coin. But when we're talking about SM1, TEC 1 & 27, etc., two completely different ballgames. I worked hard in my life to get where I am now in my later years. Was near homeless more than once. I know I am fortune that I was able to get back on my feet and obtain some nice comics for the hobby. Never really thought there would be a chance for comics to be worth more than cars and homes.
