Does the PQ affect the grade at that point? CR-OW is not as sweet as the rest of the grade... Obviously OW and better is prefer, but CR-OW is acceptable since that is the average PQ for SC22. Now, if this copy in 9.2 has white pages....rocketblast to the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing without that corner wear, possibly 9.4...need to check a better scan. This book was just graded last week, 7/27. I hope CGC is not in another soft period because this book does not look 9.2. That upper right corner alone should limit it to 8.5. As far as eye appeal goes it is only mediocre. It is way off center, there's a mark in the big, white letter 'A'. Whether average for this book or not, CR/OW is not appealing to many collectors. I feel sorry for anybody with a nice 9.0. This 9.2 is not worthy of the best copy in the world status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 9.2 is not worthy of the best copy in the world status. I respect your opinion Bob, but I have to disagree partially. I have not seen the close-up scans yet. For all the 8.5+ copies, this copy has the best spine and corners (besides the top right corner)...it's a sharp copy. Less stress than the Keller or the former 9.0 sold on CL.

Boba Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Whether average for this book or not, CR/OW is not appealing to many collectors. True, but as PQ can vary from one re-submission to the next, how critical is this really, especially in the case of DC's? I hope not too damming, as 3/4 of my collection of DC's are CR/OW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, 3/4 of my collection of DC's are CR/OW I admit it is difficult to find the DC keys with White pages but that is what makes the hunt fun. Personally, I will not purchase a CR/OW book. Others see the grade on the slab and chase it, I see the Page Quality. I have been slowly moving the CR/OW books out of my collection. These are books that were graded CR/OW when submitted by me as stated I don't purchase CR/OW. I am not being critical of those that like CR/OW books nor trying to convince anyone I am right. This 9.2 Showcase 22 is not appealing to me but I don't swim on that end of the pool anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Weak 9.2.. I'd wait it out for a 9.4 to surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Does that mean another 10-20 years. Maybe.... Just fascinating to finally see a SC22 9.2. This is the problem with a top census copy for any book.. There may be other copies that could grade out as being tied with the highest grade or a higher grade sometime in the future. I wouldn't pay crazy money like 2x what the 2nd highest grades copy would go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay crazy money like 2x what the 2nd highest grades copy would go for. That could be the case, 2x for a 9.0 is just way to much. Of course, anyone wishing to bid on any HG needs to do there homework and know there limit and the potential resale value in the future. With that type of on money on SC22 9.2, an investment has to come in some sort. Edited August 2, 2012 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
