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 looked a few days ago and it was like 65 sets away. They are catching up I guess. Very cool! I'm not sure where they'll divide it, I PM'd Gemma to ask if we could change the diving line to 64/65 but I haven't heard any word back. It really doesn't matter a whole lot I guess just as long as it's split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Since this relates somewhat, a bunch of early Showcases (10 in fact) in CC's Event auction that came from a bound volume listed as 6.0 were just downgraded to "No Grade" with multiple bids on most of the books. What happens to bidders who bid on them as 6.0's http://www.comicconnect.com/bookSearch.php?title=showcase&issue= "From bound volume, trimmed, tape at spine; otherwise VG in appearance" A far cry from FINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The moment I saw those, I scratched my head at the grades. It made no sense. surely they will refund the bidders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 It's official, this is what Showcase #'s 1 - 61 (+64) looks like laid out on a rug and shot from above. I have several shots, none captures all the books, but collectively they're all captured (see the slide show). It's done! I already have an upgrade for Showcase #16 in hand, so things will change, but here they are Here's a slide-show with few more shots: http://s226.photobucket.com/user/ollerom_photos/slideshow/showcase%20group%20shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, like Bomber-Bob I am really in awe . I am very surprised when you say you had to wait for the internet to complete such a run. From the other side of the Atlantic, collecting in the US seemed so much easier... well, I was wrong ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Lots of nice Showcase copies coming up on Clink soon.

Don't see that too often. I'm actually thinking about downgrading my 7.5 OW to that copy for the PQ, seriously. I guess you didn't make a go for it.

Looks every bit as nice as any 8.0 should look. Congrats on a fine pick up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I believe this was your statement on pursuing the Showcase 37 7.0....... I saw that. I'm gonna sit on my hands promise My sister was rushed to the hospital so I was not around for the auction. I had the high bid when I left but it obviously wasn't strong enough. I honestly don't know why it went so cheap. How many copies of SC 37 do you have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know why it went so cheap. How many copies of SC 37 do you have ? Only 2, my 7.0 O/W copy and now this White-pager. You're not going to believe this, but the I placed that $506 winning bid about an hour before the auction ended I think it was, it jumped to around $475 and held that number until the end when it showed my $506 bid as the winner. I never actually expected to win the book for that bid, I was just playing it safe, in the event it didn't get bid up - and I guess I got lucky. I paid over $700 for my other copy! If I was hoarding them, I think the time to do that would have been 2 years ago. That ship has sailed. This was bum luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaSealed Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I almost went after the SC #37 7.0 as well. It was so cheap it was hard for me to hold off from bidding. If I wasn't trying to not buy any books for the rest of the year unless they are must haves I would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
