  1. Thanks Mike for the quick attention/rectifying on this! Yes, on the KC Action 1. Not yet on the Mile High Superman 1.
  2. Just an FYI, the certification number on the Mile High Superman #1 (#1072525001) can also not be found on the lookup, so it is probably not an isolated issue on the KC Action 1, but an issue with books that retained the same cert number on two different grades.
  3. If 1.5 mil is the ceiling, then it will be a half mil loss: https://www.comiclink.com/service_text.asp?3673

  5. So sorry to hear about Ed Been losing way too many quality, good guy individuals in the hobby recently, way before their times - Ed, Jon Berk, Roger Hill, Bill Howard, etc. Sucks

  7. That's trying to do some kind of short term flip - sold for $2mm privately at Comiclink this past September: https://www.comiclink.com/service_text.asp?3673
  8. According to Mike's Amazing World website, here are the DCs on the newsstand in July 1956 when Showcase 4 hits the stands: http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/main/features/newsstand.php?publisher=dc&type=cover&month=9&year=1956&sort=alpha Showcase 4 hits the stands on July 5th, 1956. The next Superman title to follow that date was Jimmy Olsen #15, which was on the stands around July 19th, 1956 (all the other Superman-related titles shown on Mike's site are on the stands after that July date) Excerpt from Jimmy Olsen #15:
  9. As impressive as the final number for this Showcase 4 CGC 9.6 was, rumblings over in the Heritage thread in the Golden Age forum, alluding to it may have been sold privately over the past year for $1.5 million! If so, that would amount to a MASSIVE $750,000 LOSS! Considering Heritage gets 20% from the buyer side ($150,000 minus from the $900K) AND the seller didn't get hit with a commission from Heritage also.
  10. $81,000 Especially considering that a similar CGC 8.0 with same OW/W pages sold at Heritage about 7 months ago (June 2023) for $132,000 and this current copy looked to have a better spine! $50,000+ difference in less than 7 months! Market sure is funky now!
  11. There were always whispers in the hobby whether that Cosmic Aeroplane Showcase 4 actually existed. The picture on the cover of the Overstreet (supposedly a Mint 99) looked more computer generated than an actual photo of the book (see below) Also, if one goes to the "Showcase #4 Club" thread over in the Silver Age forum and looks at the early days/beginning of the thread (page 2 forward), board member esquirecomics owned one of the CGC 9.2 Showcase 4s back then and there are conversations on it.
