I didn't see anymore CGC graded copies when I got there, but did see about 5 raw copies that were overgraded and overpriced There was one raw copy at the end of the con that I was considering. Metro sold all of their copies, including the PR one, with the most expensive being a GD/VG for $575. I believe that Rick sold all of his copies as well. Looking at the prices on the books that sold, there were probably new GPA highs set across the board in all grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the prices on the books that sold, there were probably new GPA highs set across the board in all grades. I did sell a bunch of them... and honestly, I kept raising the price a bit each time... my last cgc 5.0 sold for $1500, no questions asked, no haggling ...he couldn't get his CC out fast enough... a buddy of his had just bought a slightly lessor 5.0 for 1350, and when I pulled my last one out (also sold a 4.0 cgc for $1000), boom, he was on it... bet I was asked 25 x did I have any more... the 3 boardies that got the 4.0, and 2 cgc 5.0's from me here, got them cheap compared to only a month later what they were commanding in sd (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I was so disappointed I couldnt find a nice one So I had to make myself feel better with a nice TOS #39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 If anyone is looking for a presentable low grade Showcase #22, Joe Verenault will have a 2.5/3.0 (Rick and I both felt it was 2.5) in Chicago. He is asking $695 but was willing to go down a bit on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dikran Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I just can't believe how ''affordable'' this book still is... It's super rare in any condition and features the 1st app of the hottest character in the universe right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlatko Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Great book, but why buy now? It's TOO LATE! Don't give in to the hype. Prices will be on the rise until the movie comes and tanks (or even if it is great, but with Ryan Reynolds I can't see that happening). Then prices will go back down to where they have been for the past 5 years or only slightly inflated. Don't buy a Showcase #22 until AFTER the movie. Better to go after early JLA now with everyone's favorite emerald defender and friends (B&B 28-30) while those are still sort of under the radar and affordable. I'm sure there will be more of these represented at Chicago than Showcase #22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but this is definitely the place I would put a couple grand as a long haul investment, movie or not. It's still undervalued even with hype when compared to other SA keys. If the market can correct upward for Avengers 1 & 4 then it can for Showcase 22 as well.

All the DC Keys are in for a price correction....and Showcase 22 and BB 28 are at the top of the list. Investing in a 22 seems like a good idea ,as OSPG on many DC Mega keys amounts to basically wholesale prices....too cheap for too long...no where to go but up.That wasn't the case for Marvel keys when movie hype flared up.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
