Foolkiller Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Just picked this up from Joe Verenault. Won't be grading or selling this copy. Scan doesn't do any justice to the colors and gloss... this is one of the nicest of all copies I've owned from an eye appeal standpoint. In fact, it's probably the nicest. Very nice! Reminds me of Ricks 6.5. I like your former CGC 7.0 a bit more. Great score! Well... that was a 7.0 and a stunner. But for inks, gloss and colors, I prefer this copy. As a book in total, well, that 7.0 was very nice and the better book for sure. Roy -- Joe and I were able to work something out to make this work... the one issue is where it would technically grade. The reality is, Joe was dead on with his assessment and I just couldn't pass on the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dikran Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I know it's the SC 22 club but there is finally a SC 23 7.5 on eBay, can't believe there are only 93 unrestored graded copies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what it sells for,or if it hits the reserve...i have a feeling its very high...as i've chatted with the seller previously...and also with my CGC 7.0 $1800 sale in GPA recently....

kimik Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 If there was a 9.6 SC #22 in the Newsboy run it would have been interesting to see if it would have fetched a higher price than the relatively common in uber high grade SC #4.

kimik Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 There was no Newsboy Green Lantern issues. What was the OO thinking? Flash in the pan vs. the hugely popular GL in 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
