tth2 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Im thinking there are 2 Atom collectors, the guy who sold that run and the person who paid big money to get em. Likely bought the Western Penn Showcase 34 in the Clink auction so doesnt need the Slobodian that is up. That was my Showcase 34 that I sold on Heritage in 2007. Interesting that it`s now been identified as a Slobodian, as it was never identified that way to me, including by Mark Wilson, who sold it to me. If the buyer of the collection is passing on the Slobodian because he has the Western Penn copy already, he`s making a mistake because the Slobodian is superior. And that`s coming from a huge WP fan.

Wonder how they got Slobodian out of it if the 2 prior owners didnt even know it was from that collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...golden age, silver age, bronze age, and copper age since I was 12 years old. Just love it!!! Superman is my favorite, next is Green Lantern, and last but not least...Spiderman. If you see my signature...the Amazing Spiderman #1 I bought it when I was 16 years old with my paper route money.

showcase22gr1959 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) As you all well know, this club is about SC22. We have found out a great deal of information this year. What other thread can you think of which has such a tremendous growth. We should thank kimik for starting this thread. Not many would have anticipated this surge in demand for the book and interest in this thread. At the end of the day, when demand for SC22 wanes down, so will this thread.

kimik Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 What is with the whitish scuffs/ink issues you see along the spine on a lot of these books? Even this 8.5 has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the whitish scuff near along the spine in the grey area? Maybe printing defect in most copies.

showcase22gr1959 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) I have to be honest about this. After seeing a larger scan of the Nicolas Cage copy on Heritage, I just don't see it as a 8.5. The dust shadow on the right is quite visible. This is the weaker 8.5 in my opinion.
