save only saves the graphics state (colour font, linewidth etc), it 
doesn't save any marks on the page. showpage implicitly erases the new 
page, so the new page is blank.

If you want to repeat a 'show' operation you actually need to repeat the 
sequence of marking operators.

There are a number of ways of doing this, the simplest being to just 
repeat the code. If you explain what it is you need to achieve I could 
offer more concrete advice.
