108 out of 109 isn't bad

The only New Mutants issue that I need in a 9.8 is issue #58. There is one out there, but it is already safely in some one else's collection. But then again, the one issue they need in a 9.8, I have the only one, so.... Touché!

I have at least ten raw copies of #58, two of which are easily a 9.6, with a press. The question however, is could it be a 9.8? The single 9.8 out there will not be cracked for a signature. The reason why? Because it WON'T retain.

So the copies I have, I could either get them pressed and send in enough of them to go through a screening, but then there is the fear of cracking for a signature. Ok, maybe fear is the wrong word. Addiction is more like it. My original copy, which I thought originally would get a 9.8, received a 9.6. A grade I was still happy with.

Next year I will find out. I will have to try. I do want to complete the series in a 9.8 or better. And there is no way I am going to do that just sitting on them. Of course I will have to send in a lot more for the pre-screen, but wouldn't it be a kicker if I received more than one in a 9.8. Then I could crack one for a signature and be happy when it came back a 9.6 SS...wait...what?

Thanks for Reading
