Bomber-Bob Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sharp copy! I see you have a 9.0 OW also ! I just looked at the census and there are only two 9.2's graded higher. I didn't realize it's a tough book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I am Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Nice copy of 35. All 3 issues have been picking up some steam lately with him appearing on TV soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Nice books all! I need me a #28 & 29. The #28 seems to come up for sale less frequently than the 27 & 29, just my observation not a fact. All 3 have fabulous covers. The Heath covers in the title are also pretty spectacular. I wonder why Marvel never attempted grey-tone covers - or didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Nice copy of 35. All 3 issues have been picking up some steam lately with him appearing on TV soon. True! (thumbs u The Atom Showcases also is a great series of covers, by Gil Kane and they continued into the series. These were some groundbreaking covers IMHO.

Tony D Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Unfortunately for me, this thread is 25 years too late. I sold my complete Showcase run in to a dealer in 1989, except for 3 issues. Yes, I had a Showcase #4 in VF but it had some color touch on the spine. The majority of my set was in VF condition. The 3 issues I kept were #s 17, 18 and 19. I kept them because I was also keeping Mystery In Space #53 up. Only 2 of the 3 that I kept are scanned, as one of them has a piece replaced on the cover and color touch [the #17]. Here are the scans of the #18 and 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thank you for sharing. It's never too late to start a set again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPLZ Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thank you for the kind words, Boba! I love those Don / Maggie's. I have 6 of them so far. Don/Maggie is really a grat collection for showcase. You are very lucky to own six of them. Here is one I got a few wekks back. Very nice book but there are some tears on back cover edge which justify the grade, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice book but there are some tears on back cover edge which justify the grade, Congrats to you on the pickup. I love all of the colors used on the cover. They really make you focus on each characters' details. Also, I just picked up my 7th Don Maggie book, though I haven't had a chance to scan it yet, or add it to my registry set. Maybe next week.

Boba Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I snagged another copy of my favorite blue cover, and count them, there are many, viola: I was complaining about the possibility of color touch removal in another thread, still it's a nice book regardless of if it is or not, and it's a 7.0 as well.

Boba Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 C'mon Sam, you weren't going to put a 7.0 Showcase 37 between a 9.0 and a 9.4, 9.0, 9.2 were you? That just wouldn't be natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 High grade 37's hardly come up, so I was seeking a temporary filler. Glad you got it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Your set has a higher average grade overall, than mine does. To be honest, the 7.0 fits better in my set then my 9.0 does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
