Don't know exact number but I think it was over 500K

I guess, it's not a exact science to evaluate perfectly on restored comics. But we can agree, entry levels/to own a copy of mega keys are up there.

Don't think anyone will ever find a complete copy of Tec 27 or Action 1 for less than 200k now, even extensively restored/trimmed whatever.

The price ratios for unrestored vs. conserved/restored widen as the grade goes up. An urestored 5.5 sold for 956K in 2016, and a conserved 5.5 for 393K last summer.  Even if the 2016 sale was high for the time (it was a pretty copy), I don't imagine another would sell for less now. That's a roughly 60% discount for conserved in midgrade.

I can't see an unrestored 8.0 selling for less than 2 million now,  so this sale would represent more than a 75% discount due to conservation. Seems like a relative bargain, as I'm not sure you could get an unrestored 3.0 for the same price anymore.

Thought that cover art would go for a fortune, as the only known surviving production material for Action 1. 

I think 177 is plenty!   More of a problem of a high reserve if you ask me.

I am thinking absolute lowest possible condition is at lest $125K (possibly $150K), but I could be way off.

Would like Gator to weigh in on this as he has a good thumb on the market.

No way in hell you'll find a complete copy of either book for less than 200k. If anyone has a complete Action 1 for sale for 150, count me very interested.

A copy sold last year for $110K.  Don't think that copy would sell for $200K today.  IMO.

thanks.   Yeah, that's about as rough as it gets and then brittle pages too... 

Agreed!!!  That is about as beat up and ragged as they come, however, twmjr1  simply said it needed to be complete.

This book was not only complete, but "unrestored".
