Jeffreykli Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Buy Buy Buy them all..... Better snag your copies of GL #5, #7, and #16 as well right now, before it is too late. I like this exchange picture. If a collector or investor had held on their SC22 for the last 9 months, he or she would have a nice 200% increase at the current market today. For now, I think I will hold on to all my copies for 10-20 years and see what happens. Fixed that for you Seriously. I picked mine up in 1992 for ....wait for it .... $105 in an auction at my LCS. In fact, the underbidder had no intention of buying it since it was clear that I wanted it and had the cash to pick it up. He just didn't want me to buy it for less than $100.

Great story...may I ask what grade is it? My first copy (coverless copy) was bought when I was 14 years old and I still have it.

You have in you hands one of the most desirable Silver Age DC comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT 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. that name on the top...looks familiar..ped ped It's Dennis something, I doubt this has been seen around before. 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. There is tremendous amount of news and action on SC22 . Demand for this book stampede the supply. Also, I believe, this book is considered the AF15 for the DC Silver Age. Let's not get carried away. Showcase 4 is the AF15 for DC. SC 22 is more like Hulk 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
