True dat...

But if both books were sitting on the newsstand at the same day and I only had 10 cents in my pocket, my Mercury dime would go to Cap1. That being said, Marvel 1 is the Timely that eventually launch the Marvel universe. 

Although Action 1 launched superheroes, it isn’t even close to launching DC. 

Did I hear Mercury

Well If Marvel 1 (1939)wasn't a success then they would have never printed Cap1 (1941)over a year later. They would have stuck to non super heroes.

Ummm. Human torch and Namor the Sub-Mariner were just as popular as Captain  America. They were the marvel Trio of the Golden Age.

You never know what might have happened if it wasn't flagged here on the boards as a previously lower graded copy, which I am sure Heritage should have known about right from the start.  

At least, we didn't get a long extended video from them claiming it to be another one of these "cedar chest" finds that had been locked away for decades, and of course filtering out key details of the book at the same time.  Or did some bad boardies cut them off at the pass before they got a chance to release this promo video.    

Who knows? A few boardies here may indeed have performed a valuable public service.

Somehow, I strongly doubt that the 2 power players in this whole collectibles field of ours, namely Ivy and Halperin, would tend to agree with your rather negative market deflating point of view here.

Well me I've always been on the side of plenty, in this case comics, for all. Bring on more old warehouse finds!

This 6.0 Sold for $280,500 tonight. Stronger than the 6.0 Twilight copy that sold for $215k in 2017. Although, based on the scans, the Twilight appears to have better eye appeal.

More so old label and Marvel 1 is getting just due respect. I don’t value it any higher with it being owned by Cage but I know some people get giggly over that

Or it could be due to the fact that it's now been 3 years since the CC auction and the comic book market has gone up by a noted amount in that time frame, depending upon the particular book you are talking about.
