Hawkman23 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I hope the 9.0 gets the respect it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 While it would be nice to see this book fetch a higher price than it was bought for, it is going to be tough with a 3rd 9.0 copy now on the census. The timing was perfect when it sold the first time around. Add in the shift of speculative money from SC #22 to SC #4 and/or B&B #28, and this book will likely be sold at a loss. Also, since it is a lowly 9.0 the odds of a 9.2 or better copy popping up are high (one of the 9.0s should press out as a 9.2 or a bit better.......). That being said, it is a great looking copy of one of the SA DC mega keys so a preemptive congrats if any boardie that lands it. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkman23 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I wonder why he is chosing to sell it now, knowing the risk invovled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term SC22 and BB28 has been doing quite well. For SC4 in <6.0 in been doing just as well. Time will tell...

Agent 007 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I like the 9.0 SC22. Hope I win that puppy. Haven't bought anything over $10k all year. This may be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkman23 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I just love the Gary Keller copy, it's got all my preferences in it. I've got a 9.0 about a block away and I see it often and it's by all means nice, but this one is just awesome.

peewee22 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 boy seeing all this SHOWCASE 22 enthusiasm is making me wish I went after the 9.2 last year! THIS and the movie hype, that is. You should've. It went for quite cheap, to a boardie. I pulled this form the early days of this thread. Is there a 9.2 currently out there?
