When does the movie come out again? Judging by your new avatar, it appears the commitment is shaking a bit.

You might want to thank them based on the surface scuffing, spine wear, and apparent staining that caused the bottom staple to rust and transfer to the book. (thumbs u

Hey Rich, Twenty bucks says I can guesstimate your fave book... My boardie name showcase22gr1959 is for a reason. And I can guess your favorite PQ is. So those this make you a hoarder? As usual Showcase your books are awesome I'm a somewhat hoarder, I try to go for quality over quantity. Thanks. Then why do you have sub-6.0 copies in the mix. Just kidding. Beautiful set of books. (thumbs u

just to put ryan's numbers in perspective, and this might be a "self serving" post, since I am actively buying and selling BB 28, but I believe my response is valid none the less, as it is based on actual sales (thumbs u ... I recently sold a 5.0 for $1750 (albeit a really nice 5.0, likely pressable higher, so that estimate is probably pretty close for a 5.5) ...but I believe ryan is a wee bit low for a 7.5, and here is why... I sold a nice 7.5 with cr/ow for $4500 very recently (as in last month)... Heritage sold a 7.5 for $4500ish last month too, I believe, and several folks (including myself) have 7.5's available for $5K (four color comics is one that I know of, and $4500 is his "bottom line" as I already inquired, and there was one that I just recently purchased in the low/mid 4K range too)... so while those numbers would be "ideal', my guess is unlikely you will find a 7.5 for less than 4500 ish, as I myself will happily pay that much for one (thumbs u I stand corrected.

Probably someplace around $1500 - $1700 for a 5.5, and then $3500 - $4000 for a 7.5 copy.

I don't know if anyone saw that long back cover crease. I would give this book a 4.0-4.5 the best. Someone must have been confident it would be a 5.0 minimum. The biggest question in my mind is if there is water damage along the spine where it appears that the stain is and if it has caused rusting on the staples. If yes, then it is a sub 4.0 book for certain.

Wow, that was a hefty price for that raw copy and that buyer is f :censored:d. If it just had the creasing and surface wear, I would peg it at a 3.5 at the most. Add in what appears to be a light stain on the back cover along the spine at the bottom staple (and bottom of the spine) and possible oxidation/transfer at the staples on the centrefold, and it is likely a 2.5/3.0 copy at best. Basically, almost 3x the going rate.

Definitely. It is the 3rd most important SA DC. SC4 reminds me of GA Marvel Comics 1. Both books reach to a high point in price and demand and still considered a GRAIL book. SC4 was highly on my list many years ago over a AF15, but I never pursue it. Looks like SC22 is battling SC4 for the DC SA #1 spot and I guess BB28 is part of the top three DC SA for you. I will give you a hint. I consider B&B to be #2 on the SA DC key list, only behind SC #22 at #1...................

No. As soon as the last dozen books come back from CGC next month and are sold, I will take a break until this fall before starting to buy anything new again (at least I hope I can last that long).

Time will tell. I am going to take a break from collecting for a bit and decide what to do next. And, unlike the last couple of times, this break will be for more than a day or two.

No, it did not sell for more than $1600 since it was part of a package deal with two other books.

Sold my 4.0 SC #22 today to a fellow boardie, so........................where do I turn my membership card in?

I would not risk putting a key book up on eBay right now without a reserve price based on some of the results boardies have posted lately.

Definitely. It is the 3rd most important SA DC.

Here it is. The book has not been pressed (might add half a grade to it). I bought it as a FN- for a great price at that grade, and figured it would land a 6.0 due to the chipping. Oh yeah, that is not a chip on the middle of the right side. It is a small piece of paper or something that CGC "caught" between the inner well and the outer case.

I will scan and post it later tonite after t-ball for the kids.

Speaking of Sinestro, I just picked up a package from CGC during lunch. Let's have a little fun - guess what grade this book came back with (there is minor edge chipping on the back cover)?

I think this plays out even better - he trains Hal in the first movie then joins with Parallax as the bad guy in the second one. Basically, a tragic flawed hero that falls and can potentially be redeemed in a later movie like Anakin/Darth Vader.

I wonder what affect the successful execution of these plans will have on GL comics? http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18565 Warner Bros Gearing for Green Lantern Mania New information from the Time Warner shareholders meeting proves they are banking on Green Lantern to be their latest cross-media cash cow. Last night, The Hollywood Reporter managed to get their hands on a few slides from the Warner Bros' investor meeting; a meeting which brought us definitive news of the studio's plans for Flash, Wonder Woman and Superman films. One of the slides focused on their next superhero adaptation, Green Lantern, and the projected cross media campaign that will follow suit: The Consumer Products and Games bullet points appear to go hand-in-hand with the Green Lantern film, which is scheduled for release June 17th, 2011. The most interesting points seem to be regarding two new animated ventures. During yesterday's meeting, Chairman and CEO of Time Warner's Turner Networks unit, Phil Kent, announced that Green Lantern: The Animated Series has been optioned to Cartoon Network. The slide, however, mentions that the cartoon will be of the Computer Generated variety; which gains more and more popularity with younger audiences. The second, and most quizzical, reference is the Made-for-Video Green Lantern feature WB is planning to release a month before the live-action film hits theaters. Bruce Timm, the 'godfather' of Warner Bros. animation department, denied that any Green Lantern animated films were on the studio's production slate due to the first's under performance in sales; which contradicted earlier reports that a Green Lantern animated prequel, one that would focus on the creation of the DC universe and the Green Lantern Corps' place in it, was secretly being penned. One thing is fairly certain, though; Warner Bros is putting a lot of stock into Green Lantern not just becoming one of their tentpole film franchises, but a household brand name along the lines of Batman.

Looks like this summer will be the last chance to load up for the mega GL hype next year: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18565 Warner Bros Gearing for Green Lantern Mania New information from the Time Warner shareholders meeting proves they are banking on Green Lantern to be their latest cross-media cash cow.

So does that mean it will be released in 2013 or 2014?

It should be G.A.tor, I watch the Cartoon Network stuff with my nine year old son and the Cartoon Network puts out quality stuff. (thumbs u It should be a homerun and Green Lantern will now be popular with the new generation. brillant marketing move by Warner. Who will be the principal GL in the cartoon - Hal (ala Batman series GL) or John (ala the JLA cartoon)? It would make more sense for Hal to be the lead GL for the movie tie in, but I wonder how many kids will be confused initially after seeing John as the only GL for a few years now?

I can't see the difference...........can you see the difference?

agreed- i wonder why? Maybe all the SA collectors are in states like California and New York and have been driven off by the sales tax that now gets charged on them? There really were some remarkable deals in the Heritage auction. I would think that the exorbitant BP is more of an issue with Heritage. before tim jumps in here, who bids on heritage books without taking the BP into consideration? should have absolutely no impact on the reported sales price. Yup, Anyways, the reported Heritage results are all inclusive of BP, so bottom line is that the Comiclink price (which does NOT include their 3% service charge) is higher than the Heritage all-in price. Agreed, and my comment was meant more as a joke that I figured would get the usual who doesn't figure that in? comment. FWIW, I still think that it is way too high compared to the other sites. That being said, doesn't Clink tend to do better with SA prices than HA in most cases? Looking at the latest offerings, I thought that the HA auction was weaker for SA books as a whole than the Clink auction so that might have affected it as well with more people saving up for the latter one.
