tth2 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) The collector community knows that the average SC22 PQ is cream-off white. From seeing all the CGC graded copies out there, I came up with these percentage. Yes, someone cut the wrong tree to print Hal Jordan's first appearance. light tan to off-white <3% cream to off-white pages 45-55% off-white pages 30-35% off-white to white pages <3% white pages <1% Amazing stats !! Where's the Boardie who said DCs are plentiful with nice PQ ?? Was it Tim (tth2) ? What can I say, I tend to gravitate towards the top 4% of books! Tim, what was the PQ on your BB28 that you recently sold? Just OW, although it was old label. Edited April 1, 2010 by tth2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Showcase 22 CGC 6.0 lt/ow white pages. I think this use to be Tsimanga's copy. http://cgi.ebay.com/SHOWCASE-22-CGC-6-0-LT-OW-PAGES-1ST-GREEN-LANTERN_W0QQitemZ220581058194QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item335ba7d692 It sure was my old copy. I've been meaning to e-mail you and let you know... unfortunatly I'm no longer a member of the SC22 club.. I had 15 copies a few month's ago and thought I'd be a lifetime member here... but now I'm all out... so scratch me off the list ( .. but I'll get another one in the future and get back in ) I thought it was....just need to confirm. Hope to see you back in the club again. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Looks like a solid 5.0. (thumbs u kimik...if you look carefully on the right bottom side there is a light crease, otherwise this book has a shot a 6.5-7.0. I seen many SC22 and the PQ on this copy is blazing fresh and the texture is utmost remarkable. I was just kidding. It is a great looking copy with white pages.

I remember being absolutely stunned that there was a 9.4 copy in existence when I saw that first Census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sharp and stunning copy which will be hard to top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I let the SC #22 CGC 2.0 go for so cheap - time is off the essence to raise last minute funds. Edited April 3, 2010 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done on the Showcase 5.0 with great overall appeal. SC23 in 5.0+ is much harder to locate than SC24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
