peewee22 peewee22 I was posting here when you were in diapers. Registered: 08/23/07 Posts: 3051	I've been looking for a nice affordable SC 22 for years....long before the movie hype started. I thought the highest graded copy was a 9.0 that went for $20 grand awhile back on C-Link or HA. M. Wilson (dizneyart) sold a very nice FN 6.0 Universal on ebay recently for $3.5k. It had OW/W pages a rarity for this issue and had blazing colors front and back. I bid $3 grand and thought I won it !!!

THIS and the movie hype, that is. The 9.2 is a beaut but I doubt we will see a scan in this thread. I also wonder if a 9.4 will ever surface. _________________________ “The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.” "A man does not get to write his own epitaph.

Not High Grade but at least it gets me in the club. Early GL was a teenage scifi fans delight. It will make an interesting movie and at least a visual delight. According to my experience, Charlton had the cheapest paper by far, Marvel was next and DC was slightly better paper but Gold Key had the best paper. I collected all four companies and stored all of the comics under the same conditions. Harvey was about the same as DC. This is based on comics bought at the drug store in the sixties and stored in my attic for twenty years before they were bagged and boarded.

kimik kimik TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 06/11/03 Posts: 12613 Loc: Edmonton, Alberta	Originally Posted By: Dark Knight Why is this book so hard to find? I also think that part of the problem is that GL was a not a first tier character for so long that collectors did not pay much attention to SC #22. Outside of the fantastic O'Neill/Adams run in the early 70s, the character languished until the outstanding current run by Geoff Johns and the movie announcement. Add lower desirability for a long time to a lower print run to start with, and you have a key book that a lot of collectors did not really pay attention to and preserve. I have been looking for a nice copy for several years now, but did not make it a top priority until now even though I am a GL fanboy. My attitude was that it would always be an "affordable" key due to low/moderate demand so there was no hurry to get one. Great assumption on my part. $doh\!$ Edited by kimik (07/16/09 11:16 AM) _________________________ Check out my my eBay auctions
