Great collection! I always love your videos. I always think of myself as the poor man's Allan. I collect good girl covers. I collect Archie and related titles and my favorite superhero is Wonder Woman. My collecting interests are like yours, but with a lot less money. I was really hoping you would have tagged Keston's Comics. I would love to see his top 25
I love how everybody forgets Jerry Siegel also created the Spectre. Until he got out of the army, he made more money for Spectre stories than Superman.
Love the love for Wonder Woman! One of the most historically significant comic book characters. Have you read The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore? Its excellent
I would like to comment that I feel the FF #1 is _The most important comic of the silver age_ and not just Marvel. It paved the way for Spider-Man, Hulk, and so many others. It also changed the way DC thought about writing their books, even though it took some time for sure. Love that you are embracing the Ferret Nation!! Lastly, it made me a little sad seeing your ASM #1 Restored copy. I was one click away from buying an ASM #1 Conserved 8.0 just last week on Heritage....... but, someone I know didn't answer my question on time LOL! Just messing with you; It was my own decision not to buy it. But for around 14K, I think it was a great steal for someone. Lastly, I hope no one tags me; I don't have my TMNT #1 anymore! LOL Cool story though; I do remember standing there with the 2 creators though in a Maryland comic con back in 1987ish, and them showing another way you could tell the first 4 books were real (beside the ads, and the colors). I don't recommend people do this to their copy, but if you run your finger along the black boarder inking on the inside of the book, it will smear (at least it did in front of my eyes when the guy that was helping them sell books while signed autographs showed me). He said all 4 first prints will do it, but I only saw him do issue #1. They had the first 4 over-sized issues Priced around $450, which I didn't have. By the end of the show, I stopped by their table again and made a comment that; "I see your expensive books didn't sell today"! Because $450 was a lot of dough back then. He asked if I was still interested, and I was, but I only had $325..... He sold them to me for $325!!!! 😁 I was very happy to complete my run (which I had all the issues up to like 12? or something at the time). My EX-Wife was furious at me because she said I was an idiot for spending that much on stupid comics. Years later, when I divorced her, she was correct about me being an idiot; as I was forced to sell all 8,000'ish books out of my collection (including an ASM #1 raw), for probably around 2K in Hawaii if I remember correctly. Oh well.... That 2K did pay the lawyer so I could divorce her... so I guess I'm the winner in the long run! 🤣
FF was just Stan ripping off Challengers of the Unknown. Showcase 4 was the most significant of the silver age as it kickstarted the while superhero thing again after superheroes died out at the end of ww2.

Best book there amongst many very nice ones is the Phantom Lady 17.
A major grail of the golden age!!!
Great books!❤
Yeah, I love it too.

Wow!!! Wonderful books Allan and thank you for the mention and the tag! I have to start working on it!!!
Great, I really look forward to seeing your best books.
Great books!!! Love the collection.
Great books Allan, I would have thought your copy of Startling Comics #49 (Bender cover) would have made the list
Not quite expensive enough to make the list.
@@ComicCollectorGeek Maybe you should do 1 of your top 25 covers
That would be a head scratcher...

Keep plugging the Ferret. Maybe one day people will believe it's a big book 😂
Glad to see The Ferret #1 represented. The value is truly unfathomable, dollar amounts cannot speak to its true worth 😆
nice We Love Comics started the same tag video maybe a week ago......very nice
Can't believe The Ferret #1 is your most expensive book! That's better than any old Action #1 🤣
Tec140 1.8 does not go for 9k. It goes for about 4k. Recently 4.0 and 4.5 have sold for 8k and 9k.
Last sale for Det. 140 in a 1.8 was $9000 in Sept 2021. There's a lot of price compression for this book.
DC owns all of them. Firebrand, Doll Man and the Human Bomb are all in the Freedom Fighters. Only Phantom Lady is split.
Oh yeah I almost forgot u had the af 15
This bit has gone too far lol
All your fault...lol
