G.A.tor Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 In the August Heritage auction the 9.0 Bethlehem copy of Showcase 4 is going to be up... Structurally it's a bit soft but the book looks to make up for it with nice eye appeal. Probably gonna go pretty high. Has this been graded for long? It had been my recollection that there was no CGC 9.0 copy. you might be getting old..the mind is the "second" thing to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanCooper Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I think it is new to the CGC world and, as noted before, maybe part of the collection of other DC keys in this auction (also noticed the first Lois Lane #1 to reach the 8.0 tier is also new to CGC census and is in this auction) The Beth. Showcase #4 passed through a couple of West Coast collectors after Joe Rainone decided to sell his piece of the Bethlehems in the early 90s. Perhaps one of those is the source of these in this auction. On a side note, interesting to note that the date stamp on the back cover of the Beth. Showcase 4 says "JULY 12, 1955" (instead of '56) Maybe the Silver Age started a year earlier!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 So game on. Will this book beat the price the SC 22 9.0 pulled down? I would think so for now. SC4 9.0 should eke out ahead. How you are doing Jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you are doing Jack? Richard, I'm doing really good. I've been on the ballfield almost every night with the boy and I have been away from the boards almost a month. It is all-stars and tournaments start next weekend. Has anything happened on the boards other than Mark selling that bad SC 4 and an Action 10 selling for a huge number. I wonder what I should do with my 13? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same ole heavy weight books taking the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Dialing this down a bit, here with a Showcase #8 CGC 5.0 CR/OW, the sister book to Showcase #4 snagged off ebay the other day. I've been looking for a nice mid-grade copy that didn't break the bank, and I managed to win this one. The case is a little scratched up, so I will eventually get it reslabbed when I have a few books to submit. Anyway, here she is . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
