showcase22gr1959 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 While the Savannah pedigree Showcase #22 8.0 OW in the recent Heritage auction seems to have gotten all the attention, the more modestly graded SC #4 6.0 OW was bid up pretty high too with a closing bid + Heritage's infernal buyers-premium reaching $8,663.75. Quite impressive. It sure makes the other SC4 6.0 that sold on Ebay overpriced. I'm glad you brought that up. I completely forgot about that book. Dec-02-2010 $9,995 Cert# 0635098001 according to GPA. The 7.5 came to market right after it, and stole the spotlight. I read back and we were all pretty leery of that particular copy and the price. But yes, in comparison (and with the pedigree bump in value) the one that sold yesterday was a much better price, even with the "juice". Timing just sucked for me . . . again. I would have love to see you score it, but there will always be another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Good thing you didn't remind me about that other 6.0 before the auction ended. I might have done something stupid, like bid on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Saint's be praised, I won me a Savannah! Raised my bid earlier and it ended on top. Showcase #13 with that cool "variant" blue cover. A little pricey, but less then it could've been. The big-boys went home after the major keys sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's about tho change Let's assume the FMV of SC4 has increase 15-20% the last few years. At that rate, $32200-$33600 would be a more realistic value for the Mohawk copy.

Silver Surfer Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Its a nice copy and a pedigree. Not sure I would pay the asking price but if your high grade Flash collector this would be a nice addition. 9.4's went for around $150K so you'd have to fluke out at auction to get a similar copy for under $50K.

Sure they are on the high end of things but not that high. Not so sure on it being such a great looking copy either, can take a closer look at the Heritage scans but I wasn't impressed.

Boba Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 This is the second coverless book I pointed to today (there's a SC #22 coverless as well) so I figured equal time and let prospective SC #4 fans know about it. It might be a good option for someone on a budget to buy and have a repro cover affixed to it (that is if the seller is willing to offer it for a better price). http://cgi.ebay.com/SHOWCASE-4-FLASH-1ST-DC-SILVER-AGE-COMIC-SUPERHERO-/370487761054?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5642ca989e#ht_500wt_898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro has a great track record of doing just that so its hard to argue against them when it comes to pricing/moving keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash105 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 That's market and still market. The 9.2 has not got a bid over 89K. An 8.0 sold two years ago for 17.5K. A really nice 7.5 sold this year for 12.1K. And a 6.0 Cr-ow just sold for 8.9. I don't think MV gets a pedigree bump like the 8.0 Ohio copy would if it comes up.
