PGM Showcase 22

[TheMightyJohn]

New too the club and I am not very good at grading. Thinking of slabbing it to help perserve it if it's worth it but I fear a purple label.

Forgot to add that the two center pages are detached from the top staple.

[Hado]

Scans are a tad small to get a real good idea.

[Bomber-Bob]

This issue is usually worth slabbing. Nice book with what appears to be some nice page quality. At a glance it looks like it is in the 4.0 range. It would definitely present better with a press, maybe even raise the grade a notch.

[TheMightyJohn]

Yeah I was considering a press. These pics were the best I could do, I am unable to scan.

[Hado]

I'll be safe and say 3.5, sweet book though!

[TheMightyJohn]

Doesn't CGC automatically knock a book with detached staples to a 3.0? os is that just covers and not interior pages?

[Hado]

I'm not sure CGC automatically does anything, and I've heard they ease up on golden age goodness.

[TheMightyJohn]

Yeah you got a point there.

[The-Collector]

Isn't this book silver age? Being as it is the first apperance of the silver age Green Lantern...

 

I say 3.5/4.0 definetly in that range with a press.

Haha, my point still is true.....it just may not apply to this book.

[TheMightyJohn]

Technically you are both right

Touché

[TheMightyJohn]

Well I suppose that I should press this thing and get it sent off for slabbing. If I'm lucky I will get it back in 6 months.

Not to be a , but without a press I think a 1.5 or 1.8 is a more realistic grade CGC would give this book. Lots of crinkles in that cover.

 

It's still a really cool Showcase 22 and I love low grade copies! (thumbs u

 

if you click on my registry set below you'll see pictures of my FF #1 CGC 1.5, Hulk #1 CGC 1.5, and X-Men #1 CGC 3.0 to compare your book to since they are from the same time period. Good luck and nice book!

[TheMightyJohn]

Anyone else care to chim in on there thoughts on the book?

[TC33]

A press would bump 1/2 to 1 point I think if they can do a really nice job. This is a no brainer to slab after that as it is a high ticket book in a slab! Good luck!

[tortoise]

G+ (2.5) from me.

[TheMightyJohn]

I need to get a better pic of the cover uploaded. The guy I bought I from was trying to sell me a GL1 with obvious color touch ups on the cover (well an attempt of color touch up with a magic marker ) so I am a little concerned about restorations on this book somewhere.

1.8 to 2.0 at best with the staple issue. Great book to have in any condition
