Boba Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Congrats! I was watching that one in case it was overlooked - that's a riot huh! That's a dynamite looking copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 After looking for about 10 years. I have found a 9.2 or higher for sale and won it!!!! The highest grade I had was a 9.0. I've had many issues and different copies ranging from 4.0-9.0. Very content with the 9.2. Showcase 43. For a comic book collector and James Bond collector, I have both worlds with this book.

Hepcat Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I disagree. For a 9.2 it looks lousy. It has that really flattened look of a comic that's been either pressed to hard or too often, but I guess CGC doesn't penalize for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I looked at the book but didn't comment because I thought the scan was bad - a lot of artifacting happening around Flash's chest, you can actually see some pixelation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 From today's collection. All can benefit from a press. Wow, any one of these covers would make a great poster. Some of Heath's finest work, IMHO. I wonder if DC is ever goIng to use them in film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ability to see all of that in a scan is truly a gift...a superpower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Finally, here's my upgrade for Showcase #34 7.0 OW/W. I found it on eBay no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Somebody sniped me on that SC 45 9.2 last night on clink with 1 second left. I was impressed. I hope it was a boardie at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Not me. I was bottom-feeding and picked up the #52 for $19. Seems no one wanted a 6.5 copy. It's fine for me as a placeholder. While I like Cave Carson, I don't need to break the bank on one. That's honor is likely reserved for a #9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Finally, here's my upgrade for Showcase #34 7.0 OW/W. I found it on eBay no less. That looks really good for a 7.5 from what I can see. (thumbs u Edited March 27, 2014 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks - the back is nice and clean as well (that dust shadow looks worse in the scan). If I was (still) a pressing man, I'd say this is an 8.0 waiting to be born. That however, ain't gonna happen on my watch - leaving it as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Lots of nice SC issues in high grade coming up for auction this month. HA has a monster grade #6 at the end of April. Who will be pursuing the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 I got my eyes on one, not the #6 though. It's eluded me for some time but maybe this one will be mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was (still) a pressing man, I'd say this is an 8.0 waiting to be born. That however, ain't gonna happen on my watch - leaving it as it is It's refreshing to have someone leave a nice looking book like this alone. Dust shadows always look worse in the scan. Great pickup, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
