Great looking unique book for your collection. (thumbs u

I accidentally posted this in the Modern forums but it seems more appropriate here -

 

What's going on with ASM 202 CGC 9.8? It just sold for over $1100 last night! Seems really, really high.

Not a key, no first appearances...I don't get it either

For whatever reason, that book is very scarce in 9.8 compared to other ASM issues from the same era.

 

ASM #201 86 9.8s in the census.

ASM #202 15 9.8s in the census.

ASM #203 44 9.8s in the census.

ASM #204 41 9.8s in the census.

 

(I'm not saying that justifies the price. But it's not an easy book to find in 9.8.)

 

 

It's a tough book to find in 9.8 due to the back cover ad, same as Daredevil 163. Looks to be a couple bidders looking to complete there run. I remember the run up on my Spidy 173 9.8 a few years ago. A couple big set collectors ran the price up on each other.

The drama of this thread has moved the Copper forum out of the cellar leaving bronze and magazine as casualties. I knew Copper was heating up

1000 copies, dude that's 5 cases of a book printed some two decades ago and it's never been seen until 2013.

The superman book is a fake, 500-1000 copies printed, that's actually a lot of comics. If his story was 5 copies and it was a test cover done internally and his uncle stole it from the trash cans during the night cleaning crew. Which is the story on how the sandman 19 error books got out the back door. The guy toasted his cover when he said 500-1000 copies. Move along

Express order from 9/6 still sitting at graded. On day 7.

My estimate on a 2.0 copy with brittle pages 2200, cream pages 2500, off white to white 2800

Is there any value in coverless complete copies of Showcase 4, beyond a good read?

That's identical condition to my Showcase 4

You guys do know they sell reproduction covers for this book

I'm holding out to find a cover with no comic, wishful thinking.

anyone here looking for an upgrade to the 8.0 on CC? Predictions?

Sharp copies Hepcat thanks for bringing this thread back. I put together a mid grade Hawkman run when collecting in the 80's. I think it was my only complete silver age run.

More 9.6 sweetness Joe

Nice copies Joe

Congrats. That is a real beauty!! What grade did the dealer or you call it? One day, I gotta find one!

The showcase 8 was in the fine range, it received a 6.5 from the on site at Chicago. It's fits my collection well as the colors are glossy and has nice eye appeall. I picked up a 116 at Chicago that is at CGC right now.

picked this up at SD a few weeks ago

Seems like most of the Flash 135's have that rub next to weapons by the spine.

Nice books as always Hepcat

Oh yeah! Those are top notch!

If CGC says its inner wells are manufactured in such a way that its normal in there design parameters to have flaws such as this. It should be posted on there web site as informational. That way sellers can refer customers to the CGC web site to explain the flaws in the case. Otherwise its becomes the seller of the CGC product as the one who takes on the customer service with slab design flaws. I just had an order canceled because the buyer would not pay for the book if it has what he said "rainbow oil in the case", which the book did have.
