Silver Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Let's make it a trifecta of Superboy's: Not easy issues to find this nice Very nice! What do you grade them as? The 56 is beautiful, ow/w pages and some nice gloss on cover, I think it is vf/nm material. The 63 is just as nice, except there are a couple spots on the back cover that would crucify in CGC terms...but nonetheless it has beautiful presentation of a horribly difficult book to find with nice eye appeal. I bought it for about the "fine" price...sell me books like this all day long Completists have a somewhat diiferent perspective on their collecting goals. In my case I want copies that have nice eye appeal, but I don't get too worried about the "technical grade"...grading does come into play though because that is how prices are arrived at. I tend to stay away from these kind of books in 9.2 or better because they price at multiples...so I look for 7.0-9.0 raw copies priced around guide. I settled for some lower graded copies in completing my Jimmy Olsen collection, but I am being pickier with the remaining books I am looking for. You dont have to have a slabbed 9.4 to appreciate a nice looking comic. In fact, when I browse through my collection reminiscing...I like to pull the books out and smell and look through them. You just cannot do that with slabbed books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Couple more! Batman had some weird stuff going on in the late 50's - early 60's era. It's a good think Carmine Infantino came around and got that "new look" started in '63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKavenger Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I know what you're saying, but these 10 centers have a kind of quirkyness don't you think. I have quite a few more but don't want to spoil you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickHigh Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I picked up a nice RH #1 not too long ago, and it really got me excited about this series. I'm going to try and get all the Showcase issues and a few from the series. Souldn't take more than five to ten years to get those Showcase issues in nice grade, don't you think? — Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
