Jaydogrules Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Looking to get back in...a 2.5 to a 3.5 maybe a little higher. Just give me a holler. http://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/showcase-4-the-flash-dc-1956-cgc-gd-20-cream-to-off-white-pages/p/7097-33219.s -J. Any thoughts as to what price this one will end up at? Shockingly there are only a few unrestored on the market right now, despite the recent price spikes. $4,000-ish is my estimate. -J.

There is a 3.0 on feebay asking for 8k and a raw that might hit a 1.0 for 5k. I've been hunting for a lowgrade copy of this book at a "decent" price for the last year. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardschenk Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It's a sad day when $4,000 is a good price for a 2.0 considering a 4.0 just went for $4,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't shock me if it flirts with 5k. HA sucks as an option for me anyway since I get hit with the 9% CA sales tax, in addition to the buyers premium fee that they tack on. I think the lack of inventory for low grades is what is causing the increase in prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofan Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This book is on fire and rightly so... I just sold my 3.5 signature series for 9.5 k And now I think I might have sold it too cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two 4.0's just went for at or near $7,500 on comic link. And those will probably look like deals by the time the Fall gets here. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roulette44 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Cheri - do you know of anyone selling a 4.5 for $4,500? I'll pay $5,500 and you can make a dime! Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryAllen Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This book is on fire and rightly so... I just sold my 3.5 signature series for 9.5 k And now I think I might have sold it too cheap. $2,000 premium versus half a grade up blue-label. As it stands today, I think you got a great price for your book! In a few months though, who knows. Maybe it was a steal (probably not though).

Jaydogrules Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The 2.0 on Heritage is already at $3300+. Looks like $5K is quite feasible after all. Maybe more? -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Ditto what Sam said! I've been reading DC archives of the showcases and the foreword about issue 4 is very telling. They simply needed something to fill the next issue of showcase and someone threw out the idea of bringing back the Flash - and some poo-pooed the idea - but they decided to give it a whirl, on a lark, and inadvertent sparked the resurgence of superheros. The stories are very basic and almost seem like outlines for the more complicated origins that have been weaved into these rudimentary scripts. But as I was reading them - with their little bits of science here and there ( the editors notes were my favorites!) I can recall how my imagination filled the gaps in writing, powered by infantinos brilliant interpretation of speed - and created this world of wonder where anything was possible. No wonder a pudgy science nerd would fall in love with a character who was both smart and athletic without working out? Almost forgot my point - get these editions if you can't open the books and read them. In fact get them even if you can - the paper is so much nicer than newsprint - and you get the foreword which is cool - AND all the covers, titles, writers and artists credits - and decent printing quality to boot - they didn't "airbrush" this - its the original colors as far as I can tell. That's all folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreezy Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Low grade copies hardly come up. When they do asking price is 3k+ for 1.0s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
