ft88 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Does it matter a whole lot that issue 7 is the 1st June Robbins. As DC/Warner Bros ramps up their movie portfolio I could see this going the route of MSH 13 if the Challengers ever hit the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I was an under bidder on this book - forgot to bid again. I'm glad you got it though - I thought it was a great book for a good price - and vice versa. Good catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Here's another good one on Ebay (coincidentally with only 6 hours left). If I hadn't just gotten one of these, I'd go for this. I looked far and wide for one all last year. Several low grade copies was all I could find at NYCC, and all were overpriced IMHO. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251706538743?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see that too often. I'm actually thinking about downgrading my 7.5 OW to that copy for the PQ, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 I saw that. I'm gonna sit on my hands promise There's a few in the Heritage November 20th auction as well, a #4 in 6.0 is especially intriguing and a #17 in 8.0 that is already close to $2500 (with BP). I was wondering if anyone here snagged that #16 in 8.0 on eBay from Collectors Comics. I was watching that for a while, but the $2200 price was a bit rich for me. Are we gonna see it on your registry set Sam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 As always, your books epitomize the concept of having fun collecting with out the plastic between the sheets. It puzzles me how ComicConnect can list these Showcases from a bound set as 6.0's with trimmed and heavily taped spines? http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=563011 Are they giving us what-if grades, what if all this terrible stuff wasn't done to the book it'd be a 6.0 I hate to think what'd come down if anyone here tried to pull that stunt. Bastions of the hobby they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I am Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 SC 34 in a 9.2 OW/W had a strong finish at HA yesterday at $6572 http://comics.ha.com/itm/silver-age-1956-1969-/showcase-34-the-atom-dc-1961-cgc-nm-92-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7099-91505.s I wonder if that bumps my 9.0 up?

Boba Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Also, the Showcase split set is only 5 sets away from happening. Thanks Boba. I would say so, and the fact Ray Palmer is devising how to become the Atom on the TV on the new Flash this week. I think that could help too.
