Bomber-Bob Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Right now there are 3 of the 6 registry copies of SC 34 in a 9.0 grade on Ebay. One of them is a fake listing, because I own this book. Buyer beware! http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHOWCASE-34-1961-CGC-VF-NM-9-0-WHITE-Pg-ORIGIN-SILVER-AGE-ATOM-JEAN-LORING-/390493541193?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item5aeb3a9349 That's terrible. I see that seller, LewisWayneGallery, a lot. Are they not legit ? Maybe it's another case of trying to manipulate GPA.

Boba Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think they are owned by a principal of Heritage Galleries (Jim Halperin). Ironically I once had a conflict selling a book with the same certification number they had - It was an honest mistake (mine mostly) where I picked up the wrong scan and used it in the listing. Maybe it's something like this. They are pretty reputable I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I looked and they also have this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SHOWCASE-34-1961-CGC-VF-NM-9-0-WHITE-Pgs-CURATOR-Pedigree-1st-SILVER-AGE-ATOM-/310957916858?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item48668942ba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be some sort of left-hand-doesn't-know-what-the-right-hand-is-doing syndrome going on, since I have my copy registered with HA.

I must be thick, let me see if I have this right, the book that is listed on eBay (link above) and is also registered (?) at HA, is the same book you have in your possession?

Boba Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 ok time to put up or shut up. My new addition, via the Heritage May auction Not in hand, but here's the listing preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Can you believe that CGC gave this a 6.0? The 5.5 I sold was 10 times nicer. Scary. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281338432113?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That is a 5.0 at best on loose grading day. The obverse discoloration looks like someone held the book with grease on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I was thinking, back when I collected runs of DC (and Marvel too) I only ever bothered to acquire the 3 Showcases the character was introduce in, and I kept those issues with the individual sets. it's very challenging to complete a run of just Showcases. And I though, it's all downhill once I get the key appearances (4,, 6, 8, 9, 17, 22, 34 and 30. Well, it's not that simple, but it is also very rewarding since there is so much variety in the series. Even with the third-string characters like Space Ranger, Rip Hunter, Cave Carson and Tommy Tomorrow, so many of them have delightful covers. All very true!

Sam I am Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Wow, the Issue 5 in a 7.5 ended at $2271 on HA. It had White Pages, but this is off the charts, considering I got the sole 8.0 in April for half that price. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Well, white pages are popular lately, and all it takes is 2 or 3 people who need the book bidding to bid it up. It's a hard enough book to justify paying a little more to snag if you need it. Conversely, I think I got the #9 cheap, but that may be because it came up around dinner hour on Friday night. I love when that happens Lot's of things can effect the outcome of an auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 That 9 was a beauty, but I dropped all of my cash on the 9.0 issue 6. I can't wait to get my hands on it in a few weeks when it arrives. Nothing like setting a GPA high to make the wallet a lot lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Now for an entree from the raw bar I just picked this nice raw copy of #21, sold by Metro as a 6.5. I think it's at least that. The creases you see are the major flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
