The_Captain Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well we will soon find out what a 9.0 will bring in auction. Heritage has posted a 9.0. No picture yet but here is the link. Holy Jeepers Batman It is a SC22 in 9.0 Most likely it is the the one HA sold on 5-10-06. http://comics.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=820&Lot_No=2101&src=pr#Photo Since it has off-white pages...it might just be. It will be interesting to see if it is still the old holder or the new holder. We should be able to find out if this is the new 9.0, the old Heritage copy or the ComicLInk copy with the updated census. Wow, we have the 8.0 Mound copy and the Heritage 9.0 up for sale. At least we know the Heritage sale will be in the GPA data. (thumbs u Photo is up. Same copy as one sold 3 years ago. Hopefully, the seller will make a little profit on it.

kimik Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Maybe Heritage finally could afford a new scanner for this auction after scraping by trying to make ends meet for the past 5 years or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary is going to have a nice handsome return . I previously estimate 9.0 copy with crm/ow is value between $40000-50000 and since it is off-white it may fetch $48000-60000. Very clean copy and such a rarity! (thumbs u Edited October 15, 2009 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge Collector Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Have you noticed that the colors look totally different, when you compare the pictures? The new scan has the bottom spine (near/around the bottom staple) looking a little more cream than the scan in 2006. Hard to tell because the colorings are not matching between the scans, though. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? Maybe the grey...gives us the optical illusion effect. Looks pretty consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice break from the non-stop HG chatter. Small amount of colour touch and tape (which I think is not considered resto on SA books) Yeah i was hoping 2 or 2.5, cant win em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) why no mention of the real 9.0 in the heritage auction? Three pages back. It did not generate much interest yet. I wonder if we will see some census creep. Are there some books in mylar that will be shook free and give us a 9.4 or 9.6. Why would there be census creep? This is the same 9.0 that sold on Heritage back in May 2006 for $15,535. Looks like this Gary Keller guy has been a big buyer over the last few years and has suddenly decided to unload everything. Well, all you guys who've been speculating as to how much a 9.0 SC 22 would go for in today's market will finally get an answer. Especially with one of the big players no longer in the picture.

tth2 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My copy is just as nice...the four corners are a little bit better...why not a 9.0 Hard to focus on the corners when my eyes keep being pulled back to the miswrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This well explains why Showcase 22 does not exist in 9.2 or better; such as books like Brave and the Bold 28, Showcase 4, Flash 105, Green Lantern 1 SA.
