Green Lantern Collecting Thread. 6 6

Thanks guys! I still feel like my collection is lacking.. I guess that's a collector's life.

 

Greedy.

[Flash105]

All collections are lacking in our own eyes. I bet even Ian and Gary Keller thought their collections were lacking. That is why we collect. If they weren't we would stop.

Here's two group shots of my Adams GL set I'm working on. It's definitely a fun set to put together in high grade.

"Adams are classic". Always a great run to complete.

I will probably be somewhat satisfied when I have 75-80% of 1-89 slabbed. I guess 33% isn't enough for me.

Looking at some of the recent prices, you should be able to fill in some of the early issues in nice shape over the slow 4th quarter.

$14,250 for the #1 9.0 on ped makes me . with that date stamp, going to be hard to hide the squish if/when it happens. (if it hadn't already)

[TeddieMercede]

Was an 8.5 that sold on Heritage a couple years back.

 

That really sounds like too much for that book in 9.0.

[kimik]

I don't know. I think that books like GL #1, JLA #1 and Flash #105 in 6.0+ are due for a nice run up sooner than later. All three #1s pre-date the start of th ine Marvel SA and I expect to see a run up in them after B&B #28 takes off in a larger way.

And Green Lantern is the culprit for the gains for most of these books.

GL is part of it, but I think it is just the "catch up" phase that SA DC keys need to go through now in relation to the SA Marvel keys. Besides, as we are starting to see, some of these more "common" DC keys are still not as readily available in 7.0+ as they are perceived to be.

i have this to contribute to the thread:

Nice!

Great perception. Okay, some fun facts. Let's see which top SA DC is more scarce in CGC universal 7.0+

 

Brave and the Bold 28 (41 copies of 348) 11.78%

Flash 105 (26 copies of 217) 11.98%

Green Lantern 1 (70 copies of 389) 17.99%

Justice League 1 (54 copies of 417) 12.94%

Showcase 4 (19 copies of 204) 9.31%

Showcase 22 (22 copies of 327) 6.72%

 

So, GL 1 is most common. BB28, F105,JL1 is uncommon. Showcase 4 and 22 is quite scarce in 7.0+. This data confirms SC22 in 9.2 could be a long shot.

 

[comicartfan]

I wonder why Showcase 22 was under collected. There was obviously "comic collectors" in the sense we know, and Hal Jordan proved to be quite popular.....

 

I wonder if it has to do with the drop in super hero titles being sold in the 1950s.

Your post made me curious how the other major early key, Adventure 247, stacked up.

 

What`s surprising is how under-submitted Adventure 247 is compared to these books. Only 145 copies in total, well below the 2nd lowest, Flash 105. However, of those, 23 are 7.0 or higher, representing the 2nd highest percentage at 15.86% behind GL 1, although perhaps it`s a bit deceptive because 12 of those are right at 7.0.

The early Showcases are a bit more rare.

Pardon my oversight. I would add Adventure 247. Since this post is about 7.0+, obliviously some of these keys in 9.0+ is truly rare. I know I may be biased, but SC22 is a very rare species in 7.0+ and let alone anything above 8.0.

[Flash105]

What is interesting is that nothing over 9.0 in a SC 22 has been uncovered but there are 2- 9.2s and -9.4 for Flash 105.

Would someone put Adv 210 in there to pump up the FMV ??
