tth2 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Tom, do you remember whose ad that was selling the books? I hadn`t realized that the Western Penn books had even been given a name in 1988. It`d be nice to think that the SC 22-24 were in the same kinds of grades as the SC 34-36 (9.4, 9.6, 9.6) and B&B 34-36 (9.4, 9.4, 9.4), but sometimes those couple of years seemed to make all the difference. For instance, the WP Flashes only seemed to be consistently ultra-high grade from 122 on. What grade was the Western Penn GL 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Just a thought but what other pedigrees of SC 22 are out there? anyone? Anyone? Western Penn hidden somewhere out there. I imagine there has to be a Bethlehem copy also but out of sight out of mind. The Western Penn 22, 23, 24 sold as a group for $1000 in 1988 to a west coast collector. Tom That is a bargain Not in 1988 it wasn`t. Okay, a bargain in today's market and a slight premium back then.

showcase22gr1959 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) I recalled back in 1988 Pacific Comic Exchange had Showcase 22 graded 85 (their grading standards. During that time it was priced for $5000. Edited December 4, 2010 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linmoth Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Tim: The books were't listed as WP. Through that ad is how I met the founder of the collection. VIA named the books after they had purchased some of the runs, probably through Sparkle City. I think the WP GL1 would grade 9.0 to 9.4. I'll see if I can't find the color copies I have. I will see if I can find the ads from CBG. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be totally cool if you could still find the ad from CBG. Do you remember what Sotheby`s graded the GL 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
