peewee22

We at least know the 5.5 is going for 2 bills. That's the high bid with 6 days to go...

Rick, I have no problem telling the Boards that your 7.5 went for $10,500. And I hope you do not either. A well deserved fetch for a well deserved book. To me, it set a new 5 figure plateau for non-9.0 22s, and deservingly so. I love the book.

Very nice book. Welcome to the Boards and the 22 club!

I agree with Rick and Rich. Be sure and check the auction again. He's updated with many scans. Very nice book. Are we allowed to own TWO copies of a 22 ?

Parlez vous francais ? Oui! Je parle francais! Don't know the seller, but he has a good track record, sells books on many occasions, and has another book he listed concurrently Appears to be ok. Matching the serial number with the book in a French auction just tells me it is the same book... But hey, it's buyer beware when buying books on ebay... And I guess we're the only 2 up tonight.

Heck, have him ship it to me (or another Boardie) and we'll ship it to you... Bottom line is anyone looking for a nice 22 will be hard pressed to find a better one for a long while WITHOUT going to a major auction house.

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. kimik, I asked the seller a question about it.....will update the Boards if/when I get a response.

I say that because I see some 5.5s that are as nice (if not nicer) than some 6s. This appears to be a really nice 5.5. Your call but there WILL be some heavy duty bidding on this gem.

Hey 22 lovers....there is a 5.5 CGC Universal on ebay RIGHT NOW !! Looks like a gorgeous copy....let the war begin! And it's not mine.

Awwww...that's so sweet of you.

Darn it kimik!! I thought you were referencing a KILLER copy !! Green Lantern movie talk on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/08/27/bradley-cooper-on-his-green-lantern-audition-i-couldnt-not-do-christian-bales-batman/#more-20479 I can't wait to see the flick. I hope the red head (Abin Sur) is in there... Abin Sur appearance would be a plus for us Green Lantern fans. If he's not in the first movie, maybe the second. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself here. Hard to do any type origin story w/o him.

It's invited to my home anytime...unmatched colors and gloss !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for everyone's advice. As I really don't know what I should ask for maybe I'll take jimbo's advice and put it up on ComicLink. My biggest concern is I'll sell the book and 1) someone will resubmit it and it will get a grade of 9/9.2 as CGC is inconsistant in their grading of page quality (IMHO) and even if they don't change the PQ there seems to be have been a change in standards as some LT-OW books get 9.0 or 9.2 now 2) A pressing wizard will acquire the book and it will be optomized and flipped for a lot more than I sold it for. To put your book up on Clink, might really be yout best option. As of your concerns, as discussed in some other thread recently, the LT pq could be improved, by having the comic pressed by a professional, like Matt. By pressing, not only the pq might improve, but also the grade. He can then send the book to cgc and it might even come back a 9.2 or higher. However, the best way not to be angry about someone else resubmitting the book and get a better grade afterwards, is to do it yourself. Send the book to a professional, have it resubmitted to cgc and then list it on a site or even better, put it in an auction on Heritage, Comiclink or CC. Whatever you do, it´s a very beautiful book! Good luck with it (thumbs u I strongly disagree with this advice. Don`t press the book. Just leave it alone. I'm not sure if you said not to press it because you are against pressing. But from a pure "get as much out of the book as possible" potential, NOT pressing it might get you a better return. Why? I think because people will be bidding on the potential of the book which in their eyes would cause them to bid the book up more. IOW, you get it pressed, but only see a slight upgrade if at all, then you don't gain much value. Leave it, and some crazies will be seeing "$$$ i can press!!!" and bid it up on the potential alone which is a risk you may not want to take but others might. After all, in an auction, it only takes 2 bidders. I'm with Tim (tth2). Don't press it.

I think this is a $40,000 book. Looks like it! WHITE PAGER! BIG TIME BOOK. Sky's the limit on this one White pages....decent centering....great gloss....I think 40 K is a VERY conservative estimate. I say 52 K ....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Wonder if it's been pressed. That upper right edge is sharp as a prickly pin !

Better than my copy. Mine (well, mine does not exist). Very nice book.

Aman, I did not SEE the kitchen sink when I went though your '05 posts? WoW, what a herd of DCs! Best collection I've viewed if you still have them all. Hey, I know you and I got off to a rocky start but we're cool now. We're speaking the SAME lingo. Thanks for sharing !! (Expect my PM for a Strange Tales Ann #2 offer)

Geez, no wonder the supply is so LOW !!! The 22 on the right is as good as I've ever seen. Aman is THE man ! Thanks for sharing those wonderful 22s - 24s. I guess you've got 100 PMs since you've posted the post.

Very nice run (greedy !) (thumbs u Everyone look at these 4 books and note Hal's green shirt colors on the covers. All 4 are different...why...fading?....I don't think so. Interesting.

Throw them a frickin' bone. What flavor and grade? May be worth the wait...

Very nice run (greedy !)
