Nice book. I'm accumulating these as well in prep for the JL movie.

 

 

I decided between Adventure comics 260 and Showcase 30 and i decided to invest in Showcase because i think in this case the market will go for the origin rather than the first Silver App

Me I always go for whichever I like better and let the market go wherever it will.

 

(shrug)

 

Here are three more scans from my collection though:

:blahblah: ok time to put up or shut up.

 

My new addition, via the Heritage May auction :acclaim:

Not in hand, but here's the listing preview.

A beautiful book at a very reasonable price compared to the 7.5 recently sold ;)

 

I am looking for this issue for a very long time and I thought to bid on it but did not at the very last minute.

At least I have not lost a showcase #9 auction again...

 

Congrats !

That 7.5 was through the roof. This was a great deal.

Thanks!!! (worship) I strive to find books that are under the proverbial radar. ;)

 

(BTW, was that 7.5 on comicconnect?)

Yes, I was thinking about the SC #9 sold on ComicConnect recently...

More than twice the price of yours !

The latest addition to my Showcase collection.

Probably a former 9.6 (you can see a matching picture on comicpedigrees.com) but I couldn't help to buy it :blush:

 

I am currently trying to list all the CGC pedigree Showcases.

Savannah is the easiest pedigree to track with more than 75 books listed over the web.

If you are interested in this list, don't hesitate to ask me !

I got a couple as well; a Rocky Mountain, a few Mohawk's (that I had slabbed for the first time ever) and Savannah's off the top of my head. I'll send you a list of what I have.

Wow, that's nice! I need to get some of the Firehair comics.

 

:)

 

The Firehair issues are very nice and very underrated in my opinion.

Some boards are wonderful, here is a double-page from issue #85.

You must definitively find them (if you do not have them yet !)

Here is the result of my investigation.

I used data from myslabbedcomics.com, Comics Collectors Society Registry and my personal records.

Of course, a lot of issues are still missing but this information can be interesting.

Your chart just serves to highlight just how scarce early Showcase issues say <36 are in decent grade.
