Keep in mind that I've got raw scans galore of this puppy inside and out! Well, at least it also had a chance of grading higher and higher page quality. I guess the next revised census will show another 7.5. Thanks for letting all of us know. Yeah, do you have a scan of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.tor Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am pretty sure I chronicled my search for about the last year or so, for a nice VF or better SC 22... I am, by my nature, a DC man, and when it came to SA keys, I was just more drawn to sc 22 than sc 4 (likely for affordability)... in my search, I noticed a TON of fr to g/vg copies, but didn't see all that many vg or better copies for sale... so, as my personal search continued, I started picking up any nice vg or better copy (speculating, if you will)... and, well, that part of the story is fairly well chronicled here on the boards (I think I bought and subsequently sold about 14+ copies)... what also has been alluded to, was that I finally was able to procure that VF copy I was after... I paid STRONG for it, but I felt it was a book that had no place to go but up and gosh darnit, I had been making offers on this copy for dern near a year (each offer higher than the last)...there always seems to be a point at which a "sale" will happen I had the book pressed and was prepared to send to CGC... today, I sold it for a sum of money that, well, really boggles my mind... it is no secret that any book I collect or own, I will make available (at the right price)... for me, collecting is as much about the hunt and pursuit, as the acquisition... I applaud those that can hang onto books forever, but when you spend the kind of money some do on certain books, well...you have to realize they are a tangible asset... with this sale, I no longer am a member of the sc 22 club, but I hope to be again soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolkiller Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Congrats Rick. If it was a 9.0, sure it went through the absolute roof. If it was an 8.5, then I'm also sure it was absolutely ridiculous. There are predictions out there that this book will be approaching ASM 1 levels... in terms of value. Demand for this book is truly through the roof right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsimanga Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 with this sale, I no longer am a member of the sc 22 club, but I hope to be again soon Gator.. It feels as though you are a founding father of the SC 22 club.. your membership is indeed for life I am sure. But if you feel left out I gottao SC#22 for ya.. lots of fading and water damage but hey.. if it makes you feel any better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mound City copy will be the next leg up for high grade SC22 (6.0+). (thumbs u Edited October 9, 2009 by showcase22gr1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detective27kid have seen and own many copies, but was only able find three copies above a 6.0 which truly explain the rarity of high grade copies. Currently, SC22 currently does not exist in 9.2 or better and if no ever copies ever exist for the next five to ten+ years...all members with high grade copies will be well rewarded in the long term.
