    I used to ask this about a lot of books too, but I've seen a lot of what I consider to be sell for significant premiums.  I'm always surprised what some people are willing to pay to have the most competitive registry sets.

    I agree, the census is what it is, never 100%.  But if the SS books are cracked 9.8's that would seem to affirm that it is tough in 9.8.

    I was going to point this out.  One indicator that a books it tough in 9.8 is the SS ratio.  Since there is no prescreen, you can get a better picture of the ratio of 9.8's in the general population.  Most people I know go over their SS books pretty closely so only 6 9.8's is telling.  With Liefeld charging $20 and up for sigs, it wouldn't make sense to submit books that didn't have a good shot at 9.8.  I've prepared books for a couple Liefeld signings, I know I didn't have many, if any first prints that I felt were solid 9.8 candidates, but I did have a few second prints.
