Bomber-Bob Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Is the Showcase #24 CGC 8.0 that JHV Associates has up on eBay a new copy or one from a recent auction? It is a nice looking copy with OW pages. http://cgi.ebay.com/Showcase-24-CGC-8-0-OW-Pages-3rd-SA-GL-Appearance-/350421580883?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5196c0fc53 That was my original copy, from my personal collection and submitted by me. It's never been in auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Could it be the photos. It doesn't look very good in them The case has been made for taking good photos to get close to FMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 This copy has a chip and which hurt the price. Yeah, the image is poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Now, only if a 5.0 with average eye appeal can sell under $3K, which has not happen this year. Edited March 7, 2011 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 That 4.0 looked very weak for the grade so the final price was okay with me. It was basically a 3.5 in a 4.0 label from the looks of the chipping. Looks like people are buying the book instead of the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 But Showcase 22 was never produced with chips like the early Marvels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Looking at the damage, the paper is probably a bit tanned on the inside therefore the corners will flake off more easily........either that or we can say bug/rat chew instead. In any case, it looks like a weak 4.0 based on the scans and sold accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikran Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Now, only if a 5.0 with average eye appeal can sell under $3K, which has not happen this year. That 6.0 for 2500$ had me worried a little a couple months back but I still think it was an anomaly rather than a trend as evidenced by a 5.0 selling for close to 4000$ last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KryptoSpidey Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 New low sale on ebay. Just when I thought the price was going up again. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150569556149&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Having it listed only in the "By Publisher>DC" area probably didn't help the book either....lots of times i'm only looking thru the "superhero" section to weed out all the other stuff.... it may have had less known buyers or watchers by being listed this way....just my thought.

That 6.0 for 2500$ had me worried a little a couple months back but I still think it was an anomaly rather than a trend as evidenced by a 5.0 selling for close to 4000$ last month Yeah, the 6.0 at $2500 is an anomaly. Here's some 5.0's sales the last 18 months. 5.0 crm Ebay $3700 2/2/11 ($3960 on GPA) 5.0 ow Heritage 2/25/10 $3107.00 5.0 ow Comic Connect 9/26/09 $3100 5.0 ow boardie $3000 8/5/10 5.0 crm/ow Quality Comics $2875 8/22/10 5.0 crm Ebay 5/19/10 $2800 5.0 Quality Comics crm/ow 10/5/09 $2751 On another note. 5.0+ are investment grade and considered upper mid-grade for SC22. 6.0-7.0 are considered high grade and 7.5-9.0 are upper high grade. Unless many show up in 9.2+ and will invalidate this theory. Edited March 7, 2011 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'd love to some day make it to the next rung with a 6.0. That's the place I like to be, 6.0 and above, if I can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
