From an investment standpoint, it is horrible. I don't collect for investment purposes. I collect Spawn because I enjoy the art and love the character. One man's trash is another's treasure? Like I said, I have lots of cash ready for slabbed 9.9s and would consider raw books if they had an honest-to-goodness chance. So if anyone wants to dump off any "garbage" then let me know. ..and yes, in a pinch these would make great kindling or toilet paper, so I don't feel like it's a total loss.

Thanks for the well-wishes Speedmaster! I know this might turn out to be a colossal waste of money, but I'm not sure if there is a better way to find perfect copies of these books. I guess either way this will be a learning experience for me. Wading through 1,000+ books is going to take me a looong time but I will keep you guys updated. ...anyone care to make an offer on my rejects?

I'm going to wade through them in search of gems. Otherwise I guess I will sell them for .25 a piece.

When it comes to 9.9 hunting you have to wade through a lot of and spend/waste a lot of money.

This is newshane's feedback thread for deals made on the CGC forum.

Wish me luck! I recently acquired 7 sealed boxes. They came straight from the distributor and have never been opened. The boxes appear to be solid and intact. Other than buying a graded book, I think this may be my best shot at finding the elusive 9.9 book. Does anyone have any advice? I don't want to open up a bag of worms, but should the candidates be sent off for pressing first? My plans are to put on some latex gloves and to carefully remove and examine each book. ...yes. My girlfriend thinks I've lost my mind! What do you guys think? By the way, if anyone has ANY Spawn 9.9 slabs...I've been known to pay top dollar. hahaha
