Could be why it had previously been graded an 8.5? I also noted: lower spine corner off both spine corners cr?/color loss ....not easy deciding what you think a scan of a comic through layers of plastic is showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceguy Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Does anyone here know why Showcase #24 9.0 sold for so much in the Nov. 21 Heritage auction? It went for a staggering $16,800 when GPA reports a 9.0 sale in September 2018 for $5800 Quite a jump in one year and there are 7 copies in 9.0 My notes from the auction: -CGC census 8/19: 7 in 9.0, none higher. b/c has pcs out top spine; impacted corner? tiny tear/pc out lower left b/c (from print roller pull?); lots 1/8"spine stress f/c including two 1/4"; lt 1/2" rt cor The only two things I can think of are an upcoming movie connection or 2 collectors in hot hot pursuit, and in that case, a one off sale https://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/superhero/showcase-24-green-lantern-dc-1960-cgc-vf-nm-90-off-white-pages/a/7212-92330.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(a little hard to tell because the 8.5 picture is small, but some similarities on outer right edge and the spine) On 9/28/2019 at 4:13 PM, GAMBIT said: It absolutely is .. good catch Does anybody here know when, where, and at what price this copy of SC 22 sold for when it was only a CGC 8.5 graded copy?

I think I picked this up in 2009 and this grade was selling for around $1300. Funny, I was at my LCS today and the owner has someone looking for one of these and we looked at recent sales. A couple of outliers at $2100 and $3200 but at least 5-6 at 2500-2600. It seems that there is a HBO Max series coming so I would think if that does well it may bump a little. Need a good movie to have a significant uptick though I think . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's insane comparing to Showcase 4... why is this book priced so low? universal soldier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always will be in comparison. Showcase 4 is the first silver age superhero. I can just imaging the prices if Flash ever gets that movie and it's actually good. (2022?)

dikran Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Even if they did another movie, I doubt they will go with Hal Jordan again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway29 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Picked this up awhile back, don’t think I ever posted it. It’s slabbed up again, but with a black label (same grade and PQ). Not many pedigreed SC22’s on record, three if memory serves? If someone is smarter on that subject, I’m curious and all ears...

They have options with John Stewart, Simon Baz or Jessica Cruz. Just my opinion of course. I would love if Hal comes back, but I think he had his shot and they blew it...
