peewee22 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 So who knows about this ramp up in prices. Is it limited to a small number of collectors and dealers or does everyone know to play the one year before movie card? Metropolis, Heritage, Comic Connect, Detective27kid, Harley Yee, Comic Link, Ebay, auctions houses and dealers has sold multiple copies of this book since July 2009. As we speak, we are witnessing descent prices for all low grade copy and especially high grade copies. Dealers are aware that SC22 is in high demand and collectors and investors want to own this book. The 8.0 Mound City copy will set the tone for the high grade copies. I think copies under 4.0 has very little upside in the short term. On the other hand, supplies are scarce for copies 5.5 and above. i think any copy is hard to come by....especially when anything available is being bought up...by us. if you could buy a af15 raw at 10-15 years ago prices....think about that... the supply vs demant is just not there...i just bought 6 raw books from obscure stores across the county....there are only so many books available....i called 150 stores for 6 books. It's starting to look more and more like the relative scarcity of this issue is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

universal soldier Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (thumbs u very nice. I'm hoping mine will be coming back in the 4.0 range but I think a 3.5 is probably more realistic. I am waiting on my coupons to send mine in but it should be on it's way out in a week at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been sitting at my LCS for a good 6 months until I decided to leap on it when the prices started to rise. Funny too, they told me within a day after I bought it, people were asking where it went. FWIW, I watched a raw 1.5/1.8 walk out the door of a shop last night for $300. There was tape all the way up the spine and I guess a face cut out on one of the interior pages. Still thought that was a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demand for this book stampede the supply. Also, I believe, this book is considered the AF15 for the DC Silver Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi Everyone, Since the Showcase 22 club has been growing and new members increasing, I think it would be a good idea to create our club logo and perhaps make t-shirts. What does everyone think about this? Ideas about logos or t-shirt designs. showcase22gr1959 Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
