Just picked this one up at my LCS, and was very happy.

Nice copy. May I ask how much you paid for it?

 

Just under $1K

Not bad for under $1K (thumbs u

 

Great price! Any hidden defects?

 

The one major defect is the front right bottom cover, but the pages are very nice, was a major factor in buying.

Looks like a 3.5-4.5. It's great that you've been reading the thread. Maybe the pages are off-white to white ( quite scarce in this PQ). (thumbs u

Now that the convention season has started again we might see the next leg up. :wishluck: At this rate, I would not be surprised to see a starting point close to $2,000 for 4.0 copies next year closer to the movies. FWIW Metropolis has a graded 4.0 on their site at $1900, and a raw 4.0 (looks more like a 3.0/3.5 based on the scan) at $1600.

Do you plan on sending it in for grading?

 

No damn way I would. He got it at a steal and can 4-ever enjoy the book... :headbang:

 

How would getting it slabbed prevent you from enjoying the book forever? (shrug)

FWIW, maybe the January - March lows were the time to load up on a few extra copies?

 

Those were the time to back up the truck. You did just that. (thumbs u With all the activity recently, I sense prices will rise before the movie and make new price records. I have not sold any of my 5.0+ holdings...just don't have the heart to. There has been been less than ten copies entered into the census this year for a total of 298. Can you see the potential of Showcase 22 everyone.?...I do.

I did an analysis on it compared to other major Silver Age Super heroes first appearances, it has the second least graded, Showcase # 4 i believe is first. This comparison has also included Marvel first appearances.

That's right. Showcase 4 is about 30% less available than SC22, but SC22 stampedes SC4 in demand. Mid 50's to early 60's DCs are much more scarce than Marvels. On the other hand, Marvel has captured a larger audience to absorb all the supply. With the spike of Green lantern's popularity recently, he ranks among the top DC characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. (thumbs u
