nearmint Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Any guesses where this ends up? I was thinking 5-6k Showcase 34 9.2 OW to W I think at least 5k but could go way higher. Not a lot of data to go on. That being said the owner picked a pretty good time to sell the book I think. Looks 9.0ish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderM Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Here is a new addition that gets me back into the Showcase club. I passed on it raw for just a bit less than what I paid for it graded which was nice. Sweet kimik! I love copies in this grade, especially when they look that good. Any guesses where this ends up? I was thinking 5-6k Showcase 34 9.2 OW to W None on GPA, but look at those 9.4's, wow! Definitely a good bet it ends somewhere between $4 - 6k, but who knows with the new TV show that was announced. SC34 is really rare in HG with that beautiful orange cover... I'm thinking it will be had for 7-9K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with my 7.5, bought with hard work and bottle returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with my 7.5, bought with hard work and bottle returns. I have a 7.5 too (thumbs u I wanted to upgrade, but with Atom getting series time, and talk of his own series... it's probably impossible now. Btw. just looked at GPA. The book is pretty scarce so not a lot of data in any grade. However for example in 6.0 prices have doubled from 2013 to now. And there are no 9.2s on record. There are a couple of 9.4 sales for 9K + but from 2004 and 2005! Today prices I think would be much much higher on those. I more and more think the 9.2 will head towards 9K maybe more.

NinjaSealed Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 My gut tells me a couple crazy bidders may shoot the book into the 10k range, but I also feel this auction cycle is so stacked we may see a lot of stuff not realize its full potential.

Yes, I can easily see that happening too. And I could see it go up from there too in years to come. But then again I think Atom is one of the most interesting and deep super-heroes that DC has. And that cover is one of the top ones in the hobby as far as I'm concerned. So anyway - but will super-interesting to see where this beautiful 9.2 ends. Not many SC34 9.2 or above have been for sale the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Atom covers are Incredible, right up there with Hawkman. I've seen original cover art for these titles selling for 5 digits after the dollar-sign. Only Spider-Man and maybe Thor covers can compare, IMHO. Most SA Marvel covers are very busy, whereas DC's have good composition, again, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most SA Marvel covers are very busy, whereas DC's have good composition, again, in my opinion. Completely agree. Only slight correction I would do would be " ...are incredible, perhaps slightly above Hawkman covers even. I've seen ..." (thumbs u And especially SC34... I like many of the other ones too... like Atom 7, 40, and 42! But even among the many other great ones... I do think SC34 stands out. And I also agree that Thor has some great covers as well as Spider-Man.. but also Some Fantastic Four's and JLAs (especially the early SA JLA's are great imo).

Boba Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 FF does have some gems too. I didn't include the pre-code Marvels either which I think rival the DC science-fiction titles. But yeah, Showcase #34's cover is awesome, as is #35 & 36's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber-Bob Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I won the SC 17 5.5 on the bay today. Only 6 more books to complete my set. Nice book. I saw that book in hand. I was really tempted as this book doesn't come up for sale very often but I decided to behave. I'm glad you got it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 That is a great compliment on a book coming from you. Now really can't wait to get my hands on it. That OW pq is a nice touch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPLZ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Congratulations, nice pick !! I don't know if I am the only one seeing this, but it seems there is a nice competition between our fellow boardies Sam and Roulette lately... Actually, they did not let very much opportunities for the common collector I am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Don't count me out, I'm not out of the race yet! The last 2 books I need for my 1-64 set are marked "Graded" on CGC's order status. I should have them before the weekend Then I decide do I want to tackle the 65-104 set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It is fun, but Joey has tons more room to fill in his set still, and I only need 6 more books when my latest submissions come back from grading in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
