This is my favorite cover! Is this a new acquisition? 

No - I have had it for 12+ years.

I won it from All Star Auctions on July 26, 2005.

As a collector I'm grateful there are only two 100 page giants in the Action run. They are tough in high grade, if I were going for a Detective Comics run, I'd be pulling my hair out, there are quite a few in Detective, and they all have dark covers.

 

Action #437 is a dark 100 pager, and only 1 copy is in 9.8 grade currently.

Do you own that one??

 

Wow beautiful copy!!!

I do not. I've seen it sell on both ComicLink and Heritage for a pretty penny. I wonder if any other copies will appear someday. I don't quite have the resources to search out raw copies that are high grade candidates, so all I can do for now is wait and dream.

Beautiful! I really want the other 100 page giant in the Action run, that black cover...

It must be really tough holding out for 9.8s of these. I find it hard enough to come by a nice 9.6 or the raw equivalent. My 437 is a possible 9.6, but a 9.8, especially with 100 pagers, is so hard to predict.

BOOM!

Now I have my own copy!!

Awesome!! Well done! I've stalled out a bit on this run lately, but every time I get another my enthusiasm returns!

Thanks! I sold a boat load of copper books to get it - so worth it!

I hear you on the stalling and returned enthusiasm.

[Brandon Shepherd]

I got a few new ones.

I found this guy a few days ago. A great Neal Adams cover.

My only Action Comics from that ERA.  That kid in the orange shirt would have been me back then in '73.

Nice books Brando. Those Actions from that time period are one of my collecting sweet spots.

Thank you otherworldsj331, those Actions are a sweet spot indeed! Is the Marlon on your avatar?

When did all the pics in this thread go poof? Quite a shame ?

[Paul_Maul]

I know why my pics went bad...and I can easily fix it, except for some reason I can no longer edit my older posts. ?

Yeah, that's him from Streetcar.

Look what came my way!

Loves me some Neal Adams and DC 20-cent covers!

[Brandon Shepherd]

Here I go again.

Arrived yesterday, what a copy!

Always a thrill to find a nice copy of an issue I owned as a kid!
