bb8 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Must be. It is a great TV show afterall, so it does help. I'd say it's decent. Great is a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 is it really just the tv show ? Lot's of people said the book was undervalued anyway, and it turns out they were right, it was. The TV show just gave it the boost it needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wire is a great show. The Flash is watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem1138 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Not surprising given how many inquiries I received when I posted my 2.5. Glad I was able to add a 3.0 as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why own 1, when you can own 2? (Yes, I know some of you guys have more than that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaSealed Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 is it really just the tv show ? Lot's of people said the book was undervalued anyway, and it turns out they were right, it was. The TV show just gave it the boost it needed. Book was way undervalued(probably still is) and the show put attention on it and up it went. The show is also creating a ton of new fans of the character. Soon it will be SC22. The book is insanely undervalued compared to the rest of the market right now.

I picked up a 5.5 earlier this year for cheaper than I remember them being during the big run up years ago. They are now definitely undervalued IMHO but you're going to have to sit on them for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaydogrules Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 That's another one that looks better to me than its assigned grade. Still a strong price either way though. (thumbs u -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadevils Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 What should I expect to pay for a Showcase 4 in 5.0 5.5 and 6.0 today. And...are there any available? I have a coverless one that I may would sell also. Sorry I haven't read too much into this thread yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryAllen Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 6.0 = $20-25k 5.5 = $18-20k 5.0 = $15-18k :shrug: There are copies around, but for a premium and many times you have to pry them out of people's hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadevils Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Holy Toledo, I sold a nice 6.0 about 10 or 12 years ago for $5000! And in 2000 I sold an awesome SC22 for $6000 was probably a 9.2 or better. Just shoot me now!!! I recall selling a Captain Action boxed Spider-Man outfit in 1992 for $1500 that I picked up in 1991 for $900. In 1995 I was offered $15k if I still had it. Who knew who knew......

That's where I may have to use my AF 15 for leverage. I suppose if you find someone who wants an AF 15... Probably easier to sell your AF 15 and use the cash to garner a deal, but you may have to pay a premium (as most do with this book). However, AF 15 is not nearly as rare as SC 4 and realistically to the collectors that want this book it may be a bit of apples and oranges. Not to say it wouldn't work, but it isn't necessarily that easy. My reco would be to find a dealer on the boards you trust and have them help you find a great copy and then pay FMV.

Decent offers at that. I know. The Showcase crowd are usually hardcore DC and the AF 15 are usually Marvelites. However...I appreciate both. For the reasons I have the Spidey comic A marvel buff may hold an SC4. Just fell into my lap and was a great investment.

Darn,,,that posting was a goof...my error..let me try this a again. Definitely several people have been offering to take it off my hands. Decent offers at that. I know...the Showcase crowd are usually hardcore DC and the AF 15 are usually Marvelites. However...I appreciate both. For the reasons I have the Spidey comic a marvel buff may hold an SC4. The book just fell into my lap locally...I paid a premium but had it right in my hand and realized an opportunity and scarfed it as it was a great investment. I know SC4 is more scarce for sure. I've had a few of them over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
