Like everyone has said already, early Detective comics specifically pre-robin tecs and early actions are great investments. I don't think prices for the most coveted issues will go down. It's a safe bet that's for sure.. As for the pre-bat tecs, the prices for them recently have gone down collectively. Maybe it's a good time to buy pre-robin tecs to fill those holes? I am not too familiar with Tec 1-26, but when I sold my Tec 18 7.0 on heritage, i thought it went for a decent price.

The 7.0 Tec 18 was yours? Yes, that was a very good price. It was also a very pretty book.

I suspect you can't go wrong with either Action #1-13 or Detective #27-39. I think most comic collectors would dream of owning a single issue out of either. Really depends on what you pay for a given issue - all those issues have a demand, but not all will sell for huge multiples of guide.

As much as I like the Superman and Batman covers, I still am drawn to the non-hero covers - just love that O'Mealia , Flessel and Guardineer cover art. Lots cheaper and you still get a Shuster Superman or Kane Batman inside the covers.

Thanks! It was indeed a beautiful book. The colors were on it were rich and fresh. I think the pages were white though. Good selling price, but the 19.5% buyers premium knocked me down

lol


Funny, I think the exactly the opposite, stay away from Tecs, Actions are the way to go

If that is the case, and you have more experience than I, it has been a good time to build runs in the under 26 group. On the other hand, last Sunday HA.com had a #15 that ". . . . Centerfold missing, affecting story, cover detached from bottom staple, 2" x 2" sticker at top right of first page. " sold for $1000!

From an investment standpoint I would recoomend tecs (27-40) and action 1-15 before I would ever say buy pre bat tecs for investment...unfortunately I would only buy pre bat tecs if you love them and want to collect them but my guess is that the will continue to decline in price (like more funs and adv etc)

For investment, I would agree with G.A.tor. I sure wish the pre-SH DC books
would go down enough so that I could get them. Alas, I do not see such declines.
