It would seemed to be with taking some liberties. Shape of Manhattan island seems right as well as dock spaces on waterfront circa 1959 pre-World Trade Center area. Battery Park under Green Lantern's right leg looks correct though a bit expansive. Only two lower East River bridges seen though (out of three real ones). Looks like they put a Central Park downtown where the two bridges run into Manhattan. Never knew Queens and Brooklyn were so mountainous across the river!

I was looking maybe to buy a SC22 and was wondering what is truly holding this book back in terms of value? It seems to have everything going for it (maybe I should buy one before opening my mouth). Is Green Lantern that much less popular than Flash? Thanks. Nowadays? he needs a hit movie. Plus it's a relatively low volume book so sales can be all over the place in the mid grades... If I was still looking to buy, now is not a bad time. WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know if you end up picking a copy. Definitely a good time to pick up a mega key like this since it's undervalued without any movie hype.

Well to be honest, if movies or other media like video games or TV/streaming bring more eyeballs (and new money) to vintage comics, I don’t see it as a bad thing... Otherwise dealers would just be selling to other dealers and market would be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemedgroup Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 This might drive down the price a bit FMV wise as either someone got a real steal or prices keep going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same book sold in 2017 for $149k. I’m gonna guess this goes for $120k. Bad timing to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 the 9.4 was slabbed between Oct and Dec 2019. When it was auctioned it was the highest graded of a very tough book in HG. so the existence of a better copy should affect the resale of the 9.2. However, as we all know, there's more going on out there in the world that can push the price down right now... Census today: 9.4 9.2 four 9.0s four 8.5s (for reference, when I bought my 8.5 it was the highest graded and stayed near the top for a good while.) However, in fairness and to notbe trashing someone's book, I'd love to upgrade with the 9.2. Still sole 2nd best... (assuming its wise to be buying assets that are fading in value.) So Ill prob sit on what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 and, checking the CGC analysis site doesn't appear that the 9.4 was an upgrade. There was a only minus 1 on the 8.5s and a new 9.0 since last July. Of course someone could have squeaked an upgrade of the 9.2 to a 9.4 in the SAME month as a NEW 9.2 was slabbed! Its not probable, but not impossible either. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
