Showcase #22 Club 13 13

[showcase22gr1959]

Sold these three within the past few weeks for the following

 

Fair - $250 offline from ebay

Fair - $306 completed on ebay with no reserve and low starting price.

Good - $480 here on the boards.

 

Like all hot mega keys, low grade issues will always sell for decent prices. Come to think of it, I suppose mid and high grade will too.

 

 

one of those is mine

 

Which one tortoise?

 

the G copy

 

Good choice!

 

Green Lantern says "Welcome to the Club".

I have a copy that should be heading to cgc in the next week or so that will grade in the 6.0 to 6.5 range with ow or better pages...already been offered 6K for it

 

Nice! Wow...6K already for this puppy. Looks like the 7K price is achievable. Let's see...5.0 grade is a 80% price jump from 4.5, 6.0 is a 100% jump from 5.0, 7.0 is 50% jump from 6.0, 8.0 is 100% jump from 7.0.

to be clear, the offer is pending cgc and it getting at least a 6.5...if only a 6.0, the offer will drop, but that doesn't mean I will sell it lower

It's really difficult to score a 6.0+ and you even manage to get it in off-white pages. Just what if it came back as a 7.0....$9K.

little chance...I figured it to be a 6.0, weak 6.5 prospect

[Agent 007]

It will be great to see if you can sell it for the $6k in 6.0 or so. I personally wouldn't pay more than $3500 unless the PQ was there as well. But I'm content with the sc22 I have for now. IMO

I think the last 6.5 I had moved in the 6K+ range, but I honestly don't remember

If I put my 6.0 Showcase #23 inside a dark drawer with my 4.5 Showcase #22, will they both come out 5.25's

If I put my 6.0 Showcase #23 inside a dark drawer with my 4.5 Showcase #22, will they both come out 5.25's

 

Bob, PLEAAASSSEEE!!!!!! Enough with these ridiculous comments!!!!!

 

A 6.0 will always be a 6.0 and a 4.5 will always stay a 4.5, unless you alter them!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone knows, that a 5.25 #22.5 will come out of the drawer if you unslab a 4.5 #22 and a 6.0 #23 and keep the drawer closed.

[showcase22gr1959]

Now this copy is going to have a hard time being a blue label 5.0 with all that water damage and all other hidden defects not easily seen. Not to mention this copy has poor PQ.

Yeah, very deceiving seller as usual of course. If you notice, the seller never have graded books for sell. Most of the books he is selling was bought raw or slabbed purple label or low grade.

Isn't this the dude who buys graded restored books and liberates them (from their slabs) and sells them as high-grade raw?

Yes, the seller has been moving many SC22 too. This business tactics has been generating good profits for the seller and buyers are overpaying...and left holding the bag. BTW, great purchase price on that SC23 6.0. (thumbs u

This partial post makes me look so mean

 

I have to add the last part of the post to defend myself and show the spiritual continuity of your statement

 

 

"Everyone knows, that a 5.25 #22.5 will come out of the drawer if you unslab a 4.5 #22 and a 6.0 #23 and keep the drawer closed. "

[Boba]

Relax George, I saw that it was a joke - my reply was also me attempting to be tongue-and-cheek!

 

No one would ever think you mean-spirited. Not a mean bone in your body!
