or I'm stealing Bagofleas terminology.

Not only did I get a fantastic grade on my Signature Series copy of X-Men #109 I won in my game of Nine Ball this evening, and let me tell you it felt like a great win. I was in control the whole time, something of a rarity I might add. And with that word rarity I am going to go back to talking about CGC graded comic books because if I don't I'll have to change the title to "How I won my Nine Ball game"

I decided to see what other graded copies are out there for X-Men #109. There are a total of 799 graded copies. 769 of those are graded with a universal blue label, only four have a qualified green label, ten are designated with the yellow signature series label, while 16 actually have been restored in some way acquiring the purple label. This was checked on the same day I got the grades for my standard invoice. My book has not made it on that list of 799.

My deductive reasoning behind all this was the goose egg under the 9.8 row and the quantity column. There are no other 9.8's with a signature making mine, quite possibly, the one and only one, or an OAK. I am sure it might be another day or two before I see a "1" in that column and a bit longer before I get the book to my door.

I have checked on eBay for what books close to that are going for as well as check to see what the point value is. I still have to decide what to do with the book, because I know I want a better Daredevil #1. The whole point of getting this book in the first was to hope for a high grade and sell it; now I don't know if I can part with it.

Thanks for Reading
