If I could sell it, I would and then buy the Hulk cover. If I could get one piece and had to keep it, easily take the Hulk cover. It means more to me than the Action Comics cover. Granted there is more history with the Action Comics cover but it doesn't mean as much to me as the Hulk cover.

I already have my "grail": a Superman/Flash Gordon teamup commission by Steven Butler. Trading that for Action#1? Not a chance. I'd be downgrading in that case.

My grail would be worth $200k in a Donnelly-bullish market. The action #1 cover would be worth $2-10 million. It's like would I rather own my dream car or a private jet?

I know my question is not realistic anyways, but try not to find the way out to get everything you want. Which ever one you pick the other one gets burned... hahaa...
