  1. I personally believe a 9.8 copy of Wolverine 35 will turn up. But this isn't as simple as CGC submission stats as you might think Supa.

     

    I was the first one to get a 9.8 copy from CGC on thirty-nine different issues in the Wolverine 1988 run. Those were examples of low submissions. All of them have multiple 9.8 copies on the census now.

     

    Wolverine 35 is very different. I have been looking for this book very diligently for over 5 years and reviewed literally hundreds of copies - maybe a thousand. I have never seen a direct edition without the bindery tears. I have reviewed newsstand editions and they also have the tears in almost every case. However, I have seen at least one without the tears and I have been told by someone whose opinion I trust that they saw another. Both of those books had other flaws such as creases and cover wear which made 9.8 impossible. In this case, I think the low number of submissions is a consequence of people realizing that that their copies are not 9.8 or books and not submitting them and probably also some copies failing a 9.8 pre-screen.

     

    I am in the process of submitting my finest newsstand copy and I am not confident it will get 9.8.

     

    But I do believe that if even only a small fraction of the newsstand copies were bound without tearing, then eventually a 9.8 will come to market.

  2. So the wifey has allowed me to bring some of CGC books home! lol It's not much, but it's a start. Here are a couple of random books, my X-Men 1-66 books, and many of my SS sketch books.
