Boba Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Bummer! Really wanted the Showcase #60 in tonight's CL auction, but it went higher than expected. That was a nice copy. I guess a few people thought so as well, and bid it up A better one will come along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Strong price on that #17, in PGX mode. It looks like it grades around a 7.0 +/- to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a few people thought so as well, and bid it up A better one will come along I bid on this Showcase #60 too. It is the fourth time in a year and an half I am outbid for a Showcase #60 (and was the highest bid behind the winner twice)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 After seeing that 60 finish price, it made me feel pretty happy I got the Don / Maggie when I did. That cover is stellar though. One of the best in the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrocHntr Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Strong price on that #17, in PGX mode. It looks like it grades around a 7.0 +/- to me. I was interested in that one as well, but it looked like it had a rather dirty front cover (and rusty staples?). Probably not a 7.5 in the CGC world, but it was tempting until the bid took off north of $2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best in the run. I was just behind you on the Don/Maggie auction and it seemed already too expensive because a 9.8 sold around $1750 on ebay in late 2013 and a 9.6 sold around $1400 on CLink in early 2014. With these last sales, it does not seem expensive at all and the Don/Maggie copy looks way more beautiful than the other copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I am Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 It was interesting to see a few books set new highs with out me bidding. Too bad clink doesn't report to GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Here are a couple of recent returns from Sarasota. They are not high grade, but at least the page quality is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Man they look nicer than the grades given. Very bright colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks. The combination of eye appeal and good prices for the low grades are the reason I picked them up. I figured that they would make nice speculative under copies over the next couple of years. Edited June 19, 2015 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 As soon as I saw it, I had to buy it. This is the 10th Don/Maggie in my set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPLZ Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 As soon as I saw it, I had to buy it. This is the 10th Don/Maggie in my set. Wonderful !! Don/Maggie collection is definitively the best pedigree for Showcase. If not the highest graded, these books have always the best page quality.

Stevenrams Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Glad to receive this one this week from a boardie, and at a reasonable price (especially given the recent uptick in GPA) What a fantastic copy. The colors just pop. BTW, one of the very best covers of the SA. I've read the book many times and love the origin tale. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 My 1-64 set was awarded one of the 3 top Silver Age sets in the registry awards today.
