ajaxfarrell Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 WOW..nice copy of the SHowcase # 1. I can't think of another long running title, in all of comics, that most ALL of the other issues are worth MORE than the # 1 issue. However, this copy is really nice. You don't see these everyday in high grade. Where did you originally obtain it. What's your recollections on the purchase ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see these everyday in high grade. Where did you originally obtain it. What's your recollections on the purchase ? Thanks. I bought it raw from a Dealer at a Chicago Con. I had only seen one other copy in my comicbook life and it was pretty rough. I believe the dealer had purchased a collection of DC #1's. I also bought a HOM, HOS, Challengers #1, and Brave and Bold #1 from him. I paid top guide (the 9.2 price) using cash and trade for the Showcase #1. I also have a Showcase #2 in CGC 8.0, which I bought already slabbed in 2001 from a canadian Dealer. It is a Slobodian copy (not noted on the label). You just don't see these for sale, ever.

batman_fan Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Just got it home today. I was hoping for an 8.5/9.0 but I can see why it got an 8.0, just minor stuff. I've had it raw for a very long time. I am still happy with it, even an 8.0 is the 2nd highest graded ?!? I heard they are going to make a movie about Fireman Farrell and this book will will be on everyone's wantlist (). that is oe cool scarse book! nice lookig 8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Some of you asked me to see the slab once I got it back. Well, here it is. It's so nice to see books like this. By the time I STARTED collecting, these books were long gone out of the marketplace. I didn't think a NM silver age book even EXISTED, much less what would end up as a 9.8. It's so nice to see them come back into the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so nice to see them come back into the light. That's a great book. And further proof that I have no clue how to tell the difference between 9.4, 9.6 or 9.8. I guess that's why I don't work for CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a 9.6 in an 8.0 case somewhere? Not to rag on someone's book... but that really doesn't look like a 9.6 to me either.
