Boba Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 What I get for looking at stuff on a tiny phone screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonman5 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Pretty happy with this. Bought it off the board last year as a CGC 5.0 Moderate (A). I decided to have Carmine sign and do a small remark on it at NYCC this year and while it didn't get a grade bump, the restoration came down to Slight (A), which is good. Carmine asked me where I got the book from when I had him sign it. I guess he rarely signs these, and was impressed. This is the third SS on the census now.

Wayne-Tec Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) I'm currently working on time-payments to pick up my first ever complete copy of Showcase #4. And I'm rather new to SA DC so I'm hoping for my fellow boardies to bring me up to snuff. 1) Is the value/demand for SC #4 going up, down or remaining stationary? 2) FMV-wise, where does SC #4 rank amongst other SA keys like FF #1, Hulk #1, ASM #1 and SC #22? 3) How rare is SC #4 compared to the aforementioned and the various other DC SA keys? Thanks guys! Edited November 17, 2012 by Wayne-Tec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 I am probably a bit biased to answer some of these questions, and besides there are guys on here far more qualified to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, But you have been very active in this thread. I wouldn't mind hearing your feedback, especially since you seem to be so passionate about this book.

Boba Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Appreciate the interest, the main reason I'm so active in this thread, that I started BTW, is because I absolutely love the SA Flash - hence my passion for this particular book. Apart form that, I don't really have the market expertise needed to accurately answer many of your questions. I can tell you I purchased a 3.0 copy a few years back for $1800 and sold it for the equivalent of around $3000 when you calculate the value of the partial trade + cash. So I made some money in the exchange. Hopefully one of our experienced dealers chimes in here to give you the information you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Carmine pretty coherent. He has to be getting up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Carmine pretty coherent. He has to be getting up there. Not very coherant at all. The CGC witness had to basically tell me what Carmine said, because I didn't understand him. You can see from the signature and remark, that his health is getting worse very quickly. If he signed something last year, the signature would look much more clear. It's sad to see his health deteriorating so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
