Masamune69 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 the savannah copy looks great. But it will be at premium price. I hope one of the guys here win it so that we can get an under copy on the market. I keep asking everybody and I can't find any copy Between showcase 4 and BB85, I start to think that they run away from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's a pedigree sold at Heritage. Where is that Savannah copy of Showcase #4, I can't seem to find it anywhere on Heritage's site They should spend some of that loot they make on a new web interface. It's pretty lame. I would imagine soon on Heritage since they're handling the Savannah collection. Here's the CGC link. (thumbs u http://www.cgccomics.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=1883& Great! Thanks for that. I may not have the coin for it, but I DO want to keep an eye on it. Maybe the buyer will have an under-copy to sell that better fits my budget You'll never know if you don't put in that bid.

byosti Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well, this sale almost slipped past me - one day on comiclink and poof, it's sold. I've seen this book before (with it's distinct rubber-stamped cover). I guess the time was right to sell it. http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsearch%5Fadv%2Easp%3Fall%3Dy%26TITLE%3D%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%2D1%26WCATEGORIES%3D%2D1%26SORT%3DNEW%26%5Fwhere%5Fforsale%3Dy%26%5Fwhere%5Fauctions%3Dy%26x%3D27%26y%3D12%26where%5Fforsale%3Dy%26pg%3D3&id=875538 i picked this one up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Congrads (thumbs u That was probably one of the nicer 4.5's I've seen and by the general lack of sales, perhaps among the nicer Showcase #4's that's exchanged hands in recent years. I didn't know where I had seen it, but I remember those stamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Here's a raw one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Showcase-4-very-FIRST-Flash-DC-Comics-1956-/110641865597?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c2c4e37d Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase22gr1959 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Why not grade a key book like that. Why gamble...risky I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I sold off my 8, 13 & 14, I wasn't satisfied with the grades. Now I find myself wanting to replace them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune69 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I would say it's too risky. The guy never sold a big book. You don't start selling big books by a raw SC4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think that Showcase #4 looks pretty decent, but I question whether it would grade much higher than the one I have. Although the PQ looks pretty decent. It looks like an OO set to me. What does anyone think it'd grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Loves Gwen Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It looks well read, the spine has a lot of wear on it. CGC doesn't always grade the spine very well, sometimes they hardly deduct for a bad spine. If it doesn't have any restoration like a color touch, I'd suggest CGC would be near 4.0 blue. The spine is worse than the cover appearance, a better spine would bring that up closer to a 6.0 Fine. The seller's description supports this, he calls it a VG.

Tell me about it...CGC is harsh on the spine wear. My SC22 5.0 got hit because of spine wear. Assuming nothing else is wrong with it, that SC4 is a solid copy.

Masamune69 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I don't think it will come back as better than 4.5. And this is if it s not restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably too close to call for me to bid on that raw to try to upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
