I have seen the scan of one of the 9.0s recently, and if I recall correctly it was the Clink copy. Wasn't there a comment here a while back (or maybe it was a pm I received) that it was nicer than the Heritage copy but went for less?

As I a recall, these all the top high grade holders of CGC Showcase 22: 9.0 Heritage auction 9.0 Comic Link auction 8.5 Metropolis Comics/Comic Connect 8.5 Doc Joe form thread 8.0 Rick made a private offer for $12500 8.0 Metropolis Comics private sale or Rick's offer to Private collector 8.0 Private collector I know 7.5 Peewee from thread 7.5 ? I saw this on the thread somewhere Anybody else has additions to add on this list? The 9.0 CL auction copy is owned by a board member. No, not me. The CL one is the nicer of the two 9.0s, right?

You gotta tell us the grades and PQ....so we'll all know how these nice puppies impact the #22 censuses. This is Palamas undercopy. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3312284&fpart=2 Yup, that is the one that kryptospidey was selling in a package with GL #35 in 9.6 for $1700. I passed since I had already snagged a 5.0 from Brian/foolkiller that week, but my gut instinct was screaming to buy it. Good thing I was rational and passed.

You gotta tell us the grades and PQ....so we'll all know how these nice puppies impact the #22 censuses. If I recall correctly, one of them is a 5.0 that kryptospidey had for sale way back when in July.

Don't remind me. I was holding off on all of the 5.0s in that price range last year waiting for a FN and then happened to miss the couple of nicer copies that were auctioned.

I have a SC 22 at cgc now that might be in the 5.5 range...will be watching this one closely! But remember, if it is only CR/OW page quality then it is worth half of the price of an OW copy when you list the price for us.

There are a few copies in the 5.0 - 7.0 range floating around right now, but they are not publicly for sale yet.

Thanks. I asked about it and for larger high res scans. The only problem for me might be the fact that he does not ship internationally (I am in Canada).

Very nice price on the 9.6 copy of #8 in the Clink auction. Final hammer price was $11,694. Did anyone here land it? BTW, looking at that result and the $600 for the 8.0 last go round, what would a 9.0 copy of GL #8 be worth now?

It looks to be on the CGC case...not the book. kimik, if you're still looking for one, this may be it. It will depend on the price. I have a 5.0 already, plus a slabbed 4.0 and possibly another copy on the way. Looking at the stain a little closer it looks more like a circle with some crossed lines through it written lightly in pen/pencil.

Very nice! It will be insteresting to see where this copy ends up. BTW, is that a price sticker stain in the top right below the CCA box? If yes, how did it get 5.5?

All you need is one buyer willing to pay a higher price, I guess.

Yeah, but I would give it a 1.5/1.8 with that fugly tape and staining.

It does not look like it actually sold on eBay: Bath Tub Safe Showcase #22 from eBay

Darn it kimik!! I thought you were referencing a KILLER copy !! Elitist high grade collector! Seriously, though, I am curious to see how high this one goes as it will tell us how robust the market is. If it tops $200, I am going to laugh hard.

So, is it safe to say that right now most dealers (part-time and major) are building up their inventory for the run up next year? It just seems to me that with this book being so hot right now there is a serious lack of sales on auctions/major websites right now.

Well...........it will be very interesting to see how much this copy of SC #22 goes for in the upcoming ComicConnect auction: ComicConnect Showcase #22

Maybe Avengers fever is spreading to JLAs now?

Welcome to this club, John. It is much more exclusive than that crummy AF #15 club you are a member of.

aman16 - Any interesting stories behind how/where/when you acquired these books? You have a lot of quality books from the sound of things and I was wondering if you have any stories behind where you found your books like Bangzoom does. In any case, thank you again for sharing!

And what grade and PQ does it have on the label.

What terrible copies of #22. You should sell them here for cheap, I mean reasonable prices, quickly before the hype dies! Just kidding, that is an awesome photo, aman619. Thank you for sharing these gems with us. (thumbs u

Because you want to share the wealth with your virtuous fellow boardies who were unfortunate to not have had your brilliant foresight and are now scavenging high and low looking for copies to hold as a cherished keepsake in their collections at a reasonable rate.

Sweet! Are you looking to sell them now, or waiting until closer to the movie?
