    G. I. Joe #155

    By bagofleas,

    9.8!!
    With only 13 of these actually available in this grade, I didn't think I was going to see one available any time soon. Then a few days ago one of them shows up on Ebay for auction w/ no reserve! I've recently come into some cash and am itching to spend it on some of my more desired acquisitions, so I focused on this beauty. Eventually I won it for just over $600!! Pricey, but worth it to me. G. I. Joe is one of my favorite 80's franchises, along with transformers, any x-series and Star Wars. I'm really looking out for a Star wars #107 in 9.8. Here's to hope!

    Gi joe #153

    By bagofleas,

    9.8 WP!!
    I'm doin' my best to try and get issues 150-155 of GI JOE in 9.8 WP's. So far I managed to get the hardest one (mainly due to price!) #155. I saw a 9.6 copy of #153 on ebay throughout the last couple of weeks, but really wanted to hold out for one of those 17 copies of 9.8 out there. Well a guy who I just got another comic from a couple of days ago put one up on ebay just in time for me to add it to my order, and he only charged me an extra penny in shipping! Hallelujah, baby!! I also have something brewing that may lead me to a 9.8 copy of #154, but I'll save that for another entry later on once I see how it turns out.

    I don't believe it!
    Holy , I just got my hands on the rarest 9.8 gi joe in the very last issues. There are only two of these puppies in the world! I don't frikin believe I got one!
    I am on cloud nine right now. No, make that cloud 152, because that is the issue I just got, #152!!!
    This thing is absolutely gorgeous! I love the cover!
    I should be able to get #'s 150 and 154 soon as well which means that I'll only be one away from having every single one of the last 9 issues in 9.8! The one I'd be missing is #151, but I'm keepin my eyes open!!!!

    GI Joe #154 9.8!

    By bagofleas,

    Oh yeah,baby! 9.8!!!!
    I had an opportunity to get this about two months ago but wasn't ready to pay the price, so I waited. I'm so glad I did!!
    I got it for a lot less and I'm ecstatic about it!!
    I was also able to pick up #146 in 9.8 along with this one! I've got a chance at #150 in 9.8 and if I get it, I will only be missing #151 to have the last 11 issues, all in 9.8!!!!
    Wish me luck!

    Only one more to go!!!
    This is great! I now have a 9.8 copy of #150!
    All I need now is #151 and I'll have #145 thru #155, all in 9.8 WP!!!!!
    I never thought I'd be this close. These things are so hard to come by.
    The price was great! I got #150 and #154, both for the same price as a #154 I could have gotten a couple months ago, so that's pretty good!
    I'll put it out there as soon as I get my #151, so stay tuned fellow collectors!!!!!!!!!

    YES!!! I'VE DONE IT!!!!!!
    I've finally done it fellow collectors!!!
    I am now the only person who has managed to put together all 11 of the last issues of GI Joe in 9.8 WP!!!
    I finally managed to get that elusive #151 (see pic below).
    I saw that one popped up on comiclink,com a few weeks ago for $201, but someone had already bought it. I was so upset!!!
    But then one showed up on Ebay a week ago and I set my sights on it! Not only did I get it, but I got it for a cheaper price than the one on comiclink!!! I also managed to get my hands on some other later issues along with this one!
    I now need only three more issues to have the last 20 issues in this grade (#'s 139, 141, and 144)!! This is my next goal
