There's what, a half dozen Wagners in existence today, and they were only produced in the hundreds to begin with? Yeah Action Comics #1 had a press run in the MILLIONS when it was published, it's only because of the piss-poor paper and the thousands of mothers who tossed away comic collections that it's worth so much. <BR/><BR/>Sure, there might only be a handful of truly MINT copes of Action #1 left, but there are hundreds more out there in all sorts of other conditions. They aren't THAT hard to find.<BR/><BR/>There ARE some comics out there from the same era which have smaller print runs and could be compared to the Wagner in terms of worth<BR/><BR/>I doubt McFarlane would bother to bid on this comic, I'm sure he has one already, if not more than one. I've seen Action #1s for sal at pretty much every major convention I've ever attended.William Noetlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034490187710188330noreply@blogger.com
