showcase22gr1959 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 1 copy each graded at 9.0 - 9.6 2 at 8.5, 6 at 8.0, 4 at 7.5 For a DC book from 1956, let alone THE key, that`s a lot! Really Wonder when this book sold? It looks pretty decent. Wonder how it would fare at CGC? http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsearch_adv.asp%3Fall%3Dy%26TITLE%3Dshowcase%26TITLEOPT%3DALL%26ISSUE%3D%26Condition%3D%26ConditionTo%3D%26CensusRank%3D%26SearchPageQuality%3D%26Pedigree%3D%26PRICEF%3D%26PRICET%3D%26DESCRIPTION%3D%26DESCRIPTIONOPT%3DALL%26SearchRemarks%3D%26SearchCGC%3D%26EXCLUDE%3D%26CATEGORIES%3D-1%26WCATEGORIES%3D-1%26SORT%3DCATEG%26_where_forsale%3Dy%26_where_auctions%3Dy%26x%3D47%26y%3D4%26where_forsale%3Dy&id=788029 Date stamped, no less Page 8 of SC4 club.

Boba Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 (thumbs u I happened to be looking to see if there were any in the for sale section. There aren't. An 3.5 is coming up to auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Looks better than the PGX SC22 7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash105 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 It looks nice but that is a big number to pay for that risk. If that book comes back purple or even a 6.0 or 6.5 that would be a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Sure, those kind of numbers indicate that if he misses a 7.5 or better copy, it`s not like he`s going to be waiting for a decade before another one comes around.

Boba Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ok. But 16 just didn't seem like a lot of HG copies graded to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1koko Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Depends on how many high grade DC collectors are out there. Tim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash105 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 That's the problem. 16 high grade DC may be like 48 high grade copies of a Marvel key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ok. But 16 just didn't seem like a lot of HG copies graded to me. Well, just ask Zaid how many years he`s been trying to find a buyer for his 9.2 copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, just ask Zaid how many years he`s been trying to find a buyer for his 9.2 copy. Well, Showcase #4 is finally picking up a little steam in the lower grades. Now that all the other DC keys are taking off it should put a little wind in Showcase #4 prices as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innocuous Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ok. But 16 just didn't seem like a lot of HG copies graded to me. Well, just ask Zaid how many years he`s been trying to find a buyer for his 9.2 copy. I offered a trade of drawing a picture of him in a courthouse defending Flash against Zoom, but was declined. So, I'm happy with my Bob-a-loo copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think he would overprice a 9.2 SC 22 any less than he`s overpriced the 9.2 SC 4? Edited December 14, 2010 by tth2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, just ask Zaid how many years he`s been trying to find a buyer for his 9.2 copy. His problem is not demand. His problem is price. He paid 62K for that book and is asking 100K. He has had auction bids up to 80K twice and did not take them. And 80K is probably in line. The 9.4 sold for 159 and the 9.6 sold for 179. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 What I find interesting is...if he had sold it at $80K (minus taxes) and put that money in the cd for 5% interest back then, he would have well over $100K on that book now. Hindsight is 20/20. Just my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
