PGX grades Action Comics #1

The original owner who bought this Action Comics #1 off the stands kept it for 42 years with excellent storage, and very little handling. It was then sold through auction in 1980. I was the highest bidder on the comic, and had a tear on the back cover professionally sealed. Preservation in those days was seen by most as a good thing. Today, I would have just left the tear alone. Luckily this is just back cover bottom edge stuff.
The comic is just breathtaking to look at. It has a perfect spine, perfect edges, strikingly beautiful cover, and white pages. This is easily one of the highest grade copies of this historic comic that remains in existence.
I’m really glad I won the comic on auction back in 1980, and I’m extremely happy that I still own this amazing copy of Action Comics #1 today.

It was a very fresh copy that Darrel wanted a small stain removed from the front cover, a small tear closed at the base of the spine, and a tear at the base of the back cover. This was way back around 1991 or 92, so it was a long while ago. In hind sight, it is obvious that it should have been left alone but again, it was a different world for comics back then and we all thought it would be wise to do. He did not want to catch the back cover tear or small spine split on a mylar edge, which was very common in those days, and so he decided to do the work. No one thought much about minor work in those days.
It was the freshest copy I had ever personally seen.

We were very happy to get a chance to grade this amazing book. It is incredible to see a book this rare in this kind of condition. We are grading more & more Golden Age books all the time. We are grading a run of Detective Comics right now from #27 up through at least #50 and have hundreds of more incredible books coming in.
Congratulations to Darrel on this amazing book!

Census Updates
Author: Wixxerd
We want to thank our customers who have been providing us with all of the helpful feedback in regards to the PGX census.
We realize that in it’s previous incarnation it was not the most user friendly, and have already implemented some of the requested changes. These changes include some cosmetics, the “title selection” step, grouping of issues and grades so we can show total #’s, and the ability to search by slab ID.
We are working on the back end now so that we can implement the other user requests, and will post another blog entry once these changes are available.
Check out the recent changes to the PGX Census. (It’s still not perfect folks, we are working on this right now and expect to have even more enhancements online very soon!)
PGXcomics.com domain issue resolved
Author: Wixxerd
Our domain registrar disabled our domain immediately after accepting our payment last week. While we have been informed it was due to a server outage, we are still taking steps to migrate over to a more stable registrar.
We apologize for any inconvenience anyone experienced.
Please note, we have now also registered http://pgxcomics.net and http://pgxcomics.org. (Under a different registrar.)
PGXcomics.com Vol. II
Author: Wixxerd
We have a great many enhancements planned for our website, http://pgxcomics.com. The first of these, involved a much needed “facelift”…
- Completely redesigned, the PGX website navigation is much easier to use now, taking users to their desired content quickly. We’ve moved our website to a new host which is much faster, and dedicated to this site. We also spent extra time on the development of the site, in order to make sure and provide the fastest, most enjoyable experience possible.
- The Census has been redesigned and updated. Already much easier to use than it’s previous incarnation, we have more enhancements for searching, and categorizing the results planned.
- The Gallery is now easier to browse, and linked with the site’s ad space, allowing us to display fresh new books to our visitors with every page view. We will be importing new gallery images over time, so keep an eye out to see some of the latest scans of PGX professionally graded comics. Other enhancements are also planned for this section.
There is more to come! A newsletter, video and pictures from shows we attend, a page showing what to look for when searching for high grade books, bios and facility pictures, a page expanding on our grading standards and restoration designations, and a whole lot more!
Check back often as PGX charges forward, and as always, feedback and suggestions are welcome.
