hyperion3000 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 HAS SUPERMAN 1 PEAKED? A Superman 1 restored 7.0 is currently selling for 72,000 on ComicConnect. Would it be a good idea to sell at this time because the run up on this book has been pretty impressive. I currently own a Superman 1 CGC 6.5 restored. Let me know your opinion.

Bunky Brian Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 One of the top five books of the entire hobby, no way is time to sell, skys the limit with the book. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Not even close to peaking. I wish I could have bought Jeff's restored copy he offered on the boards several years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperion3000 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Do you think there is a difference between restored and unrestored copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both will continue to go up although unrestored will move up faster. Dark Knight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I can remember a discussion many years ago in the old RBCC as to whether Superman 1 had peaked ... at a price of $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC22 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) No don't sell it (it's a very rare book restored or not)....it will continue to rise over time. Same goes for most of the top books in the entire hobby....AC1, TEC27, TEC 38, Cap1, Superman 1, Batman 1, All Star Comics 8, All American Comics 16, AF15, Hulk 1, SC4....and so on and so on. In my opinion one day you will see the top GA books in high grade reach 10$ million dollars (and most likely even more over time).....but in how long I can't say but I will not be surprised in the least bit when they do.

shadroch Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Is Superman 1 the first time a comic book story is reprinted? I've never read the original but isn't it a retelling of Action #1 plus reprints of Action 2 and 3? I wouldn't sell it , except maybe for a house.

Crowzilla Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) One of three books that is at the magical "100K per point" status (as compared to 25 years ago when there were maybe three 100K books in the entire hobby). It will not be slowing down anytime soon. Edited May 3, 2017 by Crowzilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmjr1 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The lower grade complete RESTORED copies of Tec 27 and Action 1 now have a buy-in point of $200,000. Think I'm wrong? Find a complete copy of either for less than that. And both are going nowhere but up. Supes 1 and the other mega keys will not lose value either.

Seriously though, Superman 1 is definitely not the first time a comic book story is reprinted by a long shot. The Big Book of Fun from 1936 is DC's first reprint book as it reprints the stories from New Fun 1-4. Then New Book of Comics 1 (1937) and 2 (Spring 1938) reprints some of the very early New Comics and More Fun issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
