Nice job on getting the 9.8.
I think Greg can can answer that better that I can.
But the books have been showing up more frequently.
I can't handle the premiums that you guys pay for 9.8s (It would put me in the poor house). I mostly settle for 9.4s to 9.6s. I can usually handle those.
My problem is usually miswraps or OFF-WHITE pages .
I've been mostly filling in what I'm missing out of the (what is it?) 115 books. Mostly 9.4s. After I complete the hero portion then I'll worry about upgrading. Some I won't need to... like the DC100PSS #16 CGC 9.6 Don Rosa. Perfect in my book in every way (well to my standards).
Problem books for me are the DC100PSS series itself. Examples 4, 7, 8, & 9.
When I find them, the books are too low on the CGC scale or too high.
I have 2 9.0s, 8 9.2s, 44 9.4s, and 11 9.6s. 65 books total but 5 are doubles (So technically 60).
Action Comics #437 (I have a CGC 9.0 and just picked up a 9.4 with writing on it )
DC100PSS #10 Adventure Comics CGC 9.2 Don Rosa (just picked up a 9.4 from readywit (Thanks wit and tober)
DC100PSS #18 Superman CGC 9.2 (just picked up a 9.6 off the"CLink")
Superman Family #168 (I have 2 9.4s - One with White Pages and 1 with Off-White to White)
Witching Hour #38 CGC 9.2 Don Rosa (just picked up a 9.4 from Ice (Kudos)
That's where I'm at right now.
