Sam I am Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Welcome to the club. I am planning on selling some of my under copies on the boards this weekend if you want to fill some holes in your set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 That's one of the annoying aspects of the registry, that completeness of a set is not given any credit, only how much a person is willing to spend on a given copy of a book. Something should be said for the effort that goes into building an almost impossible to complete set like Showcase. Kudos to you Chris! I am honored you named your 1-64 set in, well, my honor. But seriously you deserve all the credit! That's absolutely true. Congratulations to Chris and the few others who completed the run. I think about you of course Boba with your 1-64 set, that was a great one ! Thanks! That was a fun set to assemble and quite challenging. Some of my books were in the last clink auction in fact, the 55 6.0 white posted earlier and maybe others. That 6.0 was never pressed by the way and I think there may be improvable defects - but it's sweet just as it is too. I love having books with "potential" as opposed to marginal books. Hey what's up with Showcase 22 - it seems to have really dropped off the radar here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 SC22 is quietly being hoarded due to the GL Corps movie announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I am Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Shameless plug, but I just listed a bunch of my undercopies in the sales forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entalmighty1 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Shameless plug, but I just listed a bunch of my undercopies in the sales forum. Your undercopies are some serious beauties man. No shame in that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I am Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Also, I want to tip my hat to the person who beat me on the Pacific Coast copy 9.6 of Showcase 55 on clink. It finished at $4200. I really wanted that one. Maybe the nice price will pull out some other copies to try my luck again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entalmighty1 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks Chris! The Cream pages bug me a little, but this book was slabbed 2 months into CGCs existence, and I just couldn't pass on the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Mmmmm! Mr. Element's intro! Mr. Element seemed very mysterious to me as a kid. I'd seen his picture gracing the cover of the Flash Annual that was given the glorious full page house ad treatment by DC in the summer of 1963 but I was unable to find that Annual on any newstand. He didn't make a reappearance until the September 1964 issue of the Flash which was more than six years after his first appearance.

burntboy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks Chris! The Cream pages bug me a little, but this book was slabbed 2 months into CGCs existence, and I just couldn't pass on the price. That's still a beauty! I loved Heath's work on the Sea Devils. PQ is as mysterious as numerical grading - tough to get a true consensus. I once had a Major Key resubbed and the PQ jumped two spots from Cr/ow to ow/white - go figure...

entalmighty1 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I would resub this tomorrow if the serial # didn't change, but that early grading is half the reason I wanted it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
