BPLZ Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 After sleeping on it I think I was confusing a #15 that also came up for sale after I had purchased an identically graded copy a few weeks earlier. Same situation - same venue Heritage. So it wasn't 3 it was 2. It's still weird how 2 books I have been looking for, 2 copies of each pop up for sale like this. I hope a #16 comes along soon. I totally missed a 5.0 that went for peanuts back in February. There has been 3 #15 CGC 6.0 cream to off-white that came up in a row recently (2 on Heritage and I purchased the last one, 1 on ebay). It was very confusing. I think there is more people collecting showcases recently, maybe it can help to find at last all this ultra-scarce non-key issues ?

BPLZ Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I can't find one for a year, and then in the course of a month 3 of them in the same grade appear http://www.ha.com/c/mobile/view-item.zx?saleNo=121427&lotNo=11378 Rip Hunter are still very difficult to find, it's great to purchase a #20. Surprising to see 2 in a row like this one ! Too bad I didn't plan to bid on any of these nice copies... I remember a few years back, all Rip Hunter issues were so scarce there were 20 graded for each issues (with highest grade 8.5 at best) ! Here is a scan of my #25 A nice average FN+ book if not this almost torn corner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've been lucky to get a few books I needed over the past few weeks. Got this #45 off Comiclink: 2 Challenger's Showcases from our own roulette44: #11 Kirby goodness, with a cool old dime-store back-issue price stamp. #12 more Kirby goodness.

Sam I am Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Wow, more great looking books from Joey. I have 11 and 12 still to conquer on my run as well, but a few others I plan on tackling before them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I am Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Nope. I ended up holding back on this one, since I would have been the new record price to get it. There are other books coming up for auction soon that I can get a better $ to registry points ratio deal on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 So does this mean Showcase #34 (origin and 1st appearance of Atom) is going to make a run http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/notyetamovie/news/?a=103167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Very interesting news, Boba. Thanks for sharing it. I guess DC is trying to circumvent the Antman film showcasing growth powers with a similarly powered character. Someone is listing a 9.0 for auction next month. I don't recall where I saw it, but I'm curious to see where it ends up. HA has a BIN for $3995, but no takers as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 ya think? Ray Palmer as a regular character on Arrow ought to move the needle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Captain Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Very awesome news and great actor! I really felt for him the way the Superman movie almost destroyed his career. However, with Arrow, the Flash and now Atom around, the TV DCU is starting to bloom and paving an excellent opportunity for the JL or Teen Titans. Showcase #34 has been a very undervalued book for a very long time. Considering that VF- copies can be had for $700 or less, it is one of the most inexpensive SA 1st apps. Can't wait to see the Atom in Action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddieMercede Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ivy University ftw. Let's see them actually do something with Hawkman and then the comic universe really will be turned upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ah those great DC team-ups, Green Arrow and Black Canary, Green Lantern and Flash, Atom and Hawkman, the list goes on and on, the possibilities endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA has a BIN for $3995, but no takers as of yet. There is a #34 9.0 on Heritage, it is the same listed BIN for $3995. In fact, it was a wrong Curator pedigree ! Here is a link to the board where the problem was exposed : http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7768767 Thanks a lot Bob for your investigation !
