  1. Congratulations roulette44, a wonderful set !
  2. Beautiful book ! Sea Devils issues are very scarce and very underrated in my opinion.
  3. I'll trade you for your Showcase 13, Bruno Nice try ! You should try again after making me drink a few beers !
  4. Wonderful I would dream to have only 4 issues to complete a 1-61 run ! I understand when you talked about missing a 16... it is very scarce. Didn't see much 28 either, and I always been outbid for this one. Maybe you will try the 54 Don/Maggie on HA soon ? Seems to be a very nice book !
  5. Wonderful book Mike ! Too bad you did not sell it to me...
  6. Wonderful books ! I am still dreaming about a challengers showcase...
  7. There is a #34 9.0 on Heritage, it is the same listed BIN for $3995. In fact, it was a wrong Curator pedigree ! Here is a link to the board where the problem was exposed : http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7768767 Thanks a lot Bob for your investigation ! This issue didn't seem so great for a Curator.
  8. Rip Hunter are still very difficult to find, it's great to purchase a #20. Surprising to see 2 in a row like this one ! Too bad I didn't plan to bid on any of these nice copies... I remember a few years back, all Rip Hunter issues were so scarce there were 20 graded for each issues (with highest grade 8.5 at best) ! Here is a scan of my #25 A nice average FN+ book if not this almost torn corner...
  9. There has been 3 #15 CGC 6.0 cream to off-white that came up in a row recently (2 on Heritage and I purchased the last one, 1 on ebay). It was very confusing. I think there is more people collecting showcases recently, maybe it can help to find at last all this ultra-scarce non-key issues ?
  10. I currently have 9 in my registry set. BTW, I unobscurred my sets so if you want to check out the pedigree's I have in there feel free. Off the top of my head, I have a few Savannah's (4, 13 & 71), Rocky Mountain (36, 41) and a few Mohawks (37, 47, 48, 49, 51) and maybe more, I don't have time to look right now. Thank you for these informations. I just completed my list and must update average grade now. I hope I can share it with you all soon.
  11. Very nice issues Hepcat. I always loved "Angel and Ape", should have get a longer run.
  12. Just received this one : There was several showcase #15 for sale lately, mainly with cream to off-white pages. This one is a correct mid-grade copy, a lot of creases on the cover though. I am not very fan of Bob Brown art but Space Rangers issues are OK.
  13. I got a couple as well; a Rocky Mountain, a few Mohawk's (that I had slabbed for the first time ever) and Savannah's off the top of my head. I'll send you a list of what I have. Here is the result of my investigation. I used data from myslabbedcomics.com, Comics Collectors Society Registry and my personal records. Of course, a lot of issues are still missing but this information can be interesting. Please note, this is not a ranking or personal interpretation but mere data to share with other collectors.
  14. Very nice books, the cover from issue #68 is wonderful indeed !
  15. The Firehair issues are very nice and very underrated in my opinion. Some boards are wonderful, here is a double-page from issue #85. You must definitively find them (if you do not have them yet !)
  16. The latest addition to my Showcase collection. Probably a former 9.6 (you can see a matching picture on comicpedigrees.com) but I couldn't help to buy it I am currently trying to list all the CGC pedigree Showcases. Savannah is the easiest pedigree to track with more than 75 books listed over the web. If you are interested in this list, don't hesitate to ask me !
  17. That 7.5 was through the roof. This was a great deal. Thanks!!! I strive to find books that are under the proverbial radar. (BTW, was that 7.5 on comicconnect?) Yes, I was thinking about the SC #9 sold on ComicConnect recently... More than twice the price of yours !
  18. A beautiful book at a very reasonable price compared to the 7.5 recently sold I am looking for this issue for a very long time and I thought to bid on it but did not at the very last minute. At least I have not lost a showcase #9 auction again... Congrats !
