kimik Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Looks like GL #7 is a hot book now as well.

JohnT Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Anyone else a member of the "Showcase # 22 signed by Gil Kane and Julius Schwartz" club? "Autograph on the cover" haters need not apply. My cover's signed by Gil Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 For any 50s era DC, especially these Showcase books (Newsboys notwithstanding), C/OW is the norm rather then the exception. In fact the only key book in this Showcase run which Ive found to be mostly available in OW or better is #4, which seems a bit odd to me. Even some of the 1960-62 DCs seem to be more common in CR/OW than OW or better. Must have been the difference in paper stock that DC used vs. Marvel? My experience has always been that DC paper stock was better than Marvel from the same period, and that it's not really that hard to find OW-W and W early SA DCs.

G.A.tor Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Quite possibly true...but from recent experience sc22 seems to always have cr/ow paper...at least it appears that way to me...so maybe this book is the exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash 123 is one of those issues which seems to have been blessed with particularly good paper. I`ve seen a disproportionate number of issues with W pages.

I think my view is skewed a bit by the fact that I have seen way more SA Marvels locally in Alberta than DCs and in almost all cases the Marvels had white pages (thanks to the dry, relatively cooler air up here), while even the few DCs I bought and slabbed were CR/OW to OW.

What do you think this is worth since it has white pages? Thanks. GPA record price for a 6.0 is $3,250, so I'd say your copy is worth at least that.
