BPLZ Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Now who needs a Showcase #11? http://www.ebay.com/mbf/BidsOffers?MyEbay&gbh=1 that was a STEAL I cannot use your link, what was the price ?? I do need a showcase #11 ! My next objective is to get a challengers issue. Unfortunately, I must wait and save a lot. I spent to much bidding on Heritage for Don/Maggie books. I am off-budget now...

BPLZ Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 For Showcase and pedigrees fans, here is of an update of a former post. I hope it will help you to chose which pedigree Showcase to collect. Note only graded comics were used. In case of multiple copies, only highest book is kept (for instance, there is less Boston but average grade is higher). As you can see, Don/Maggie is a beautiful pedigree for Showcase with nice page quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I am Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I just updated my registry set with my most recent purchases. As of today, I need 21 more issues to complete my run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPLZ Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I just updated my registry set with my most recent purchases. As of today, I need 21 more issues to complete my run. Congratulations Sam, you have a wonderful Showcase collection and assembled it very quickly ! Some of the issues you miss are very scarce, hope you will get them soon. Nice you got the #62 Curator. I tried to bid on it but it was quickly outbid ! Curator Showcases are hard to find (I only know six of them), so it is always a great add to a collection. Congrats !

I thought this might be my only shot at a Curator book, so I went in pretty strong. Those scarce books will be fun to hunt down; but not fun to pay for.

Boba Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Holy cow, that's one impressive run you have there! And those grades are amazing. You did that pretty fast If I recall correctly. Very admirable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants to offer it to me, I'll take it ! It was already too expensive before the SC#4 prices explode. I will definitively won't buy it unless I sell my house... I think only the Bethlehem SC#4 has a better grade, this is the second best pedigree for this issue. Well, we will see where it gets...

Wipple Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Some of the best showcase covers and the sea devils with their own series! Edited September 14, 2014 by wipple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Oh man, those are beautiful! What a brilliant body of work those covers are. They're all great, but the #28 is especially hard to find in good shape, and you have a nice copy there. Thanks for sharing them (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I wrote and heard from Gemma a few weeks ago that the split in 2 Showcase registry sets are in the cue to be addressed, here is her response: I have added it to the next list of set requests so once the current list is complete it will be added. Sincerely, Gemma I'm not sure how they'd handle it - leave the 1-104 registry set and just add 2 new ones or split the existing one - which I don't know how they'd do that since folks are already in the old set - but I guess we will see. People like our own Sam-I-am could have 2 top registry sets instead of the one given the depth of his set. I put my set on obscure as I am doing a lot of swaps. I'm not a playa anyway - not even close to sets like roulette44 (Joey) and Sam. Keep checking for the new split-Showcase sets! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Joey D will always have the top set. I can't touch books like his SC4 and SC22 in grade any time soon. I just like being up there near the top. My goal is still to have the highest average grade complete 1-104 set some day. On the 64-104 upcoming set, I think there is another pretty high ranking 1-104 set, that is predominately 50-104, and all 9.4 to 9.8's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I understand, but your set is one of the best from 1-104, with books beyond where many of us (who start from "1") have ventured. You seem to be well on your way toward achieving your goal, and some of the books you've bought to date prove you're no lightweight. I think if you stick to it, you will get there and then be thinking, hey I'm going to upgrade this and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
