Bomber-Bob Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 DC Showcases into 2 sets 1-61, 62-104 Honestly, that list is long, maybe more like mid November 2015. Pardon me for asking but what is the significance of a cutoff at 61/62 ? 62 is dated 5-6 1966, books are still @ 12 Cents, break in the middle of a Spectre run. Seems rather arbitrary. Enlighten me.

Boba Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 It was sort of arbitrary, but I did ask people for feedback when I first floated the idea. But it's not too late to change it obviously. It's tough to find a clean place to cleave the set in two because the change to more humorous characters happens with 62 & 63 and then bam Spectre is back for one last hurrah and then were back to Infinity Five again. If we want to just go by the numbers 52 is the absolute half-way point, 60 is also a nice place to split, except 61 again is Spectre. So I put it to the board, where could the split be - is 64/65 the right place, I don't know. That's why I was asking if Showcase #88, February, 1970 was considered the 1st Bronze Age issue. I was wondering if maybe that was a more logical place to split the set. To be honest it's very self-serving of me to want it to split at 61/62. I don't want to have to go through the pain of trying to complete the second half, which is arguably as tough as the 1st part albeit less costly to assemble. But maybe we should rethink this and even have a vote or poll if enought members actually care about this that is. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber-Bob Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I recently added this Showcase 37 to my collection. I put it on Mysladdedcomics over two days ago and it has received 0 views. I think this is a reflection of the current marketplace where most are interested in only what's hot and trending. The 'classics', like Showcase, are not in vogue. Maybe someone from this thread will look at the attached and get this book a 'view'. http://www.myslabbedcomics.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=25494&GSub=887 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yeppers, I do I've been in heaven since they brought the Flash to TV I'm hoping they bring Green Lantern back to the screen better than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 For a matter of fact...Showcase 22 has been picking up stem lately. Popularity and price movements moves in cycles. You recall when SC4 and BB28 have done nothing for a while and exploded in popularity. Green Lantern will be back in vengeance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm certain you are correct. He's just too great a character to keep down for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) You probably helped me to this goal more than any single individual. (thumbs u ..... my entire collection is the result of help from others..... and I love it when I get the chance to pass it on ..... I spend half the time at most shows looking for books for other folks. As for the cut off...... look real hard at the cover to Showcase 64 and tell me, honestly, that it isn't worthy GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Edited November 8, 2014 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 I totally agree with you it is truly an iconic Murphy Anderson cover. (thumbs u Like I said, i struggled with where to make the break and I guess I chose the less logical place to do it. I don't have any issue (no pun) including #62 & 63 in the first set . . . the 2 Inferior Five issues, and breaking the set up at the #64. I just hope I haven't started something that I can't stop now. I'll write Gemma and ask her if we can make the change - and if it's ok with everyone, to move the break to #64/65. Let's see what she says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
