Going to start shopping for a Showcase 22 again. Anyone out there have a line on one, please hit me up.

6.5+, would prefer something above 7 and Off/White or better

You do know that the new guy brings the donuts, right? DWeeB1967 private msg quote post Address this user
Good luck, @Haljordanfan. I haven't seen one in that grade for sale in a long time. And it's not for lack of hunting for one, that's for sure.

@Haljordanfan I've been hitting up some collector/dealers I deal with. A 5.0 is the highest that was found. Let you know if anything surfaces

I don't want to brag, but cashiers are always checking me out. power_struggle55 private msg quote post Address this user
see one on ebay for around $12k but its a 5.0. $4k for a non grade but really looks rough on the corners so likely worst

but good luck. best to go to a convention, or look for a comic auction

@Batman66 - You think so? What’s your guess?

I was hoping for off white + personally.

@Haljordanfan Did you see the 6.5 ow/w that just sold on heritage for 12k? Last 7.0 sold for 15k, was thinking it might get close to 18k. I'm hoping if you end up with it that you get it for a good deal. What are your thoughts?

@Batman66 - 🤣 are we going to be bidding against each other?

@Batman66 - I’m hoping for the same, the page color is my only deterrent, but I guess I can’t be too picking with the age of the book and the limited pool to choose from.

@Haljordanfan not me, I'm content with my lowly 4.0

Nothing wrong with a 4.0 my friend, this is one of a handful that I’ve always wanted higher.

@Batman66 - The light tan pages has me a bit off. I know there’s only a handful worldwide 7.0 and up, but if I’m dropping $ I was kind of hoping for off white or better.

@Haljordanfan did you win it ?

I followed and bid, but bowed. I wonder if a fellow board member grabbed it?

@Haljordanfan tbh, I thought it wasn't a very appealing 7.0, there were many color breaking spine ticks

@Batman66 - For the $ that it went for I completely agree. I had a hard time with it being a 7.0, I just kept staring at the ticks.

Wasn’t me. I was bidding throughout the week on the restored 5.5, except I had my times messed up and thought it closed at 11:10, not 9:10. Doh!
