It may be hard for some of the younger folks here to realize that taking a picture once upon a time involved buying film, taking a picture (with no idea how it would come out), dropping the film off at a photo store or drug store chain like CVS, paying for the pictures to be developed (bigger size meant higher cost), waiting a week or so for the pictures to be developed, and driving back to the photo store or drug store to pick up the pictures.

that the condition of this copy exceeds the 9.0 copy sold on eBay a few years back, I'll consider the eBay copy the best Action #1 in existence.

Would it surprise you or change your opinion to know that “your” best existing copy was a Cgc 8.0 and then a Cgc 8.5 before it finally got graded a 9.0 (which took number submissions to achieve)?

The Action 1 or Anderson's collection?

Yes

The two people who have seen it hat have shared their opinion about the grade are a little more than "Mr. X, Y, and Z." Especially when it comes to grading and Action #1s.  Stephen Fishler is credited as creating the 10 point grading scale we use today and has sold a bajillion Action #1s and Steve Borock started the two biggest grading companies in the hobby. They're pretty good sources (lol) and neither gets anything out of saying that the Church copy is the best- in Fishler's case it probably hurts him because it means the books he's bought and sold are all fighting it out for second place. But he's still acknowledged the quality of the Church copy.

I wonder if he ever read the book?  Maybe he bought a 6.0 beater to read?

All I can tell you is that I worked with Steve Borock for 4 years. He told me he saw the Action #1 in question and graded it in the Near Mint range. You're welcome...

How many photos are there of the AT Detective 27 or the MH Marvel Comics 1?

I've never seen the AT Detective 27, but anyone with a Gerber Guide has a photo of the Church Marvel 1.

I pulled a scan a while ago. The best we can do from that is verify what John said- it has the best registration of any copy of that book I've ever seen.

True. Polaroid did release a one-step camera in 1977, on the other hand. 

Sure, but the quality and color were terrible.  A Polaroid of a comic would've been close to useless.
