The first show he brought the Church collection to. I thought about it for a while, but I was stacking up PCH, Avon’s and Seduction of the Innocent books and had spent all the money I had as well as a loan so I put it back. I think it was priced around $6. Tsp99, MrBedrock and Cpt Kirk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post porcupine48 Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2019 Don't know how I screwed this pic up so bad!I was so excited to get this almost ten years ago now.A hero comic,a number one,of a Church?It had a humble price too.Oh,and the reds! It's a very pretty 7.5 as well,with the biggest issue being a 1' non colour breaking bend on the back,likely press out if that was my sort of thing.

Funny story, there is some guy who is on the boards from time to time that hoards this book. This guy has got some series OCD issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Kirk Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) it is also interesting to look at the CGC census for some of these Mile Highs. Sometimes the Mile High will blow everything else away in terms of condition. In the case of my Action Comics 71 (a CGC 9.6), the next closest one is an 8.0 on the CGC census out of 25 copies graded.

Timely Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) I used to own the Mile High copies of Action Comics #25, 28, 30, 34-36, 38, 41, 48, 50, 57, 59, 61, 63-66, 68-71, 74, 76-78, 81, 87, 96-99 & 102. Generally speaking over the years most are still the Highest Graded Copies!

Robot Man Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I hate to hear the words “used to”... what an incredible bunch! Tell me you hung on to a couple just because.

Although not contemporaneous with the purchase from the Church family, probably the most thorough account is Chuck’s recollection that he documented on his blog about 18 years ago. It’s still up and readable here https://www.milehighcomics.com/tales/cbg12.html It’s worth noting, however, that this is Chuck’s version of what happened 25+ years later. There are a lot of other rumors and accounts floating around including by the Church family that are inconsistent with Chuck’s story. Keep that in mind when you read it.
