Thankfully, I paid less than cover price for my copy, one of 10 copies I purchased at my LCS at the time (either Sunshine Comics or A & M Comics and Books, both in Miami, FL). The other 9 copies are in storage.
I'll also note that the copy I posted has white pages, not off-white to white pages. However, as discussed on these boards many times, CGC apparently frequently assigns such and if the comic book is submitted again the pages are designated white.
(Edit) SC and A & M sold pristine copies 99.9% of the time. Some of them, I'll dare say, are very likely 9.9 and 10. However, they will (more) very likely receive 9.8 from CGC when or if I ever submit them for grading
