StarkEnterprises Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Why is GL 7 blowing up so much? Is it solely because of it featuring Sinestro's first appearance or are there other factors involved? He's the Joker (Sinestro) for Green Lantern. I see. Given the rising interest in this issue, is it worth picking up in any grade? It's worth it for flipping and if you are looking of 6.0+ it will cost you 4 to 6 times guide. How about 3.0-4.0? $125-175 is a good range. Cool. Thanks for answering my questions.

He's the Joker (Sinestro) for Green Lantern. In addition, the book is more difficult to find in any grade than probably Showcase #22 as well. It has been selling for a premium to guide for a while now in high grade, and over the past year or two has taken off in lower grades as well since currently there is more demand than supply for it.

StarkEnterprises Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Is Showcase 23 one of the key GL books to get as well? Obviously, the 2nd appearance of the character won't command as much as the 1st but would it nevertheless be a good alternative if you can't afford even a 0.5 copy of SC 22? One of the LCS' near me has a 6.0 that is tempting me greatly. Edited April 12, 2010 by StarkEnterprises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showcase 23 is difficult to locate in 6.0+. If it is a true 6.0, go for it...because I would. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
