Professor Chaos Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Hi, I couldn't find the Action Comics thread even though I searched for 10 minutes so here I am. Looking for a little input if anyone is willing. This Action Comics 23 Restored 4.0 just sold for 10,200 on Heritage. I was surprised it went for that much. Notice it has a Trimmed Centerfold. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/action-comics-23-dc-1940-cgc-apparent-vg-40-slight-a-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/122103-15002.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 This one is close in grade and has a Married Centerfold. Sold in 2020 for 3,600. Full disclosure I currently own this one. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/action-comics-23-dc-1940-cgc-apparent-vg-35-slight-a-1-off-white-pages/a/7231-96003.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 So I'm looking for opinions on which one you think is the lesser of two evils, which do you think is more detrimental to the integrity of the book. Basically which do you think is worse in any restored book, a trimmed centerfold or a married centerfold? Thanks I do realize that the 4.0 appears to have no restoration at all other than a glued and trimmed centerfold. Shame they trimmed it, but compared to the most recent sales of Blue Labels in similar grade it doesn't seem to have hurt the price much.

Simple the trim 1 original and should be in a Blue holder since nothing was added to the book but glue Not restoration IMO. Your copy Ct staples replaced restored and has centerfold from another copy even you like the other copy better just hard since you own your copy. I think the same on books i own Link to post Share on other sites

To be clear however I didn't say I like either better, but I suppose I would rather have the 4.0 only because there is no restoration other than the trimmed cover. If there was either the slightest other resto I would choose mine because I hate trimmed anything. I believe even if one page is trimmed it is considered restored no matter what, don't you? But my opinion doesn't matter, I wanted to hear the thoughts of others when it comes to trimmed or married. Link to post Share on other sites

BB-Gun Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I do enjoy those early Superman covers. They aren't very complicated and seldom relate to the story. Mmehdy and FoggyNelson 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bandelier Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Here's a #12 that came out of a recent original owner estate find. There was also a coverless World's Finest #6 in the lot amongst other books... I'm now looking for that cover because the servicemen on that cover appear to be the same as the ones on this. Neat. Link to post Share on other sites

I consider married pages the kiss of death, so would go for trimmed given the choice. Professor Chaos and Yorick 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
