Wow.... Sounds really strong. Probably bodes well for the Showcase 22.

Book is pretty pricey right now... Can't keep going up forever and it already rose a ton in the last 2 years.

A lot of people hold that cover as their very favourite from Hawkman's run in Brave & the Bold. One of the best covers in all the SA let alone the Hawkman run...

Very cool.

Sorry for not keeping up but did we ever get a scan of that TEC 27.

Don't think CGC is taking books solely for PQ review anymore.

Nice looking copy.

Wow low price on the 9.0... Seems there is a lot of interest on the book at "affordable" numbers but not many people willing to buck up for the higher graded copies.

the gap narrows a bit more! yay!!! #1 book in the run buddy. Congrats !

Neil approves of this post.

Doesn't look like it. One of them is the overgraded Twin Cities and there are 2 other non Ped copies. Looks like the 3rd one is also coming up for sale. http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7039&lotIdNo=40002

Nice books Brian. That BB 28 trimmed on the bottom ?

A boardie owns the OA to that cover. Fantastic artwork.

Nice books Sterling, you should spend more time here...

For Bronze books (and most all Silver) the first to pay for a single top census book is the first to lose big. The TC 227 9.8 is not going to finish anywhere near 10K. Patience is a collector's best friend.

Whoops meant to say BRFC, looks like a tiny crease which in my book should be nowhere near a 9.6 let alone a book that is graded a 9.8. On the BLFC CGC generally doesn't downgrade for tiny bindery issues on the top and bottom of the spine which this looks to be the case. There may be a tiny bit of rust on the bottom staple, little hard to tell though unless you have the book in hand. I have a hard time seeing this book sniff anywhere near 10K, if someone does shell out near that much they're gonna pay the price down the road.

The Twin Cities copy is a 9.8, cut is pretty ugly and the BLFC is kinda iffy. Something for you guys to get crazy about. http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7036&lotIdNo=17081

In hindsight, the 9.6 copy was the bargain of the decade when it sold on Heritage. Goldman must`ve been bummed, and Wilson`s client must`ve been ecstatic. With SC4 9.2 selling, it was the confirmation for the upper DC SA market. I bet your client was ecstatic of the BB28 purchase. I don`t know if he was ecstatic, as negotiations were protracted and he definitely felt like he was paying full freight! In contrast, the 9.6 SC 4 was barely more than the 9.4 copy that had sold just a short while before. It was a clear bargain from the minute the auction closed, and I`m sure the winner`s ceiling was much much higher. I believe Wilson said at the time he was buying the Showcases for himself -- don't if that's what happened or if he has sold them since then. He had offered Goldman more than he paid for the books at the auction. Goldman was very displeased with how the auction played out. I don't think Mark ended up with the books for himself, at least that is what he's telling people.

what would happen ? I think it was agreed the RM on Clink went for a good amount over FMV.

Again nice copies Hepcat. I think 34 and 44 are 2 of the best covers of the Silver Age.

Uh oh... Get on the GAtor train or get left behind...

That's not the same book. This is a third blue label NM 98 in 9.9. Can someone google "astronomical" for me? This was a great thread. I love economists. Have there been any 9.9 sales since? 1 of the 9.9's is a Sig Series and if I recall correctly it sold for a little more then half that 12K number.

What is this flood the market with Showcase 22 time now ? As opposed to just listing them all on Clink probably would be better off at least trying other venues so there aren't 4 copies 6.0 and higher on the front page.

Congrats on the win peewee.

The only one I haven't done yet is the fishing one... but I have thought about it.
