I guess I should have been clearer in my first post . . . this thread is not about everyone else's 9.9s, it's about YOUR 9.9s. Period. 

So if you don't own them, or you didn't self-submit and obtain the sacrosanct grade of 9.9, then don't post them here. 

Meta asked a simple question and I kindly pointed them in the right direction as the CGC boards search engine can sometimes be funky to use.

Also, you can check the link below to my Myslabbedcomics profile as the books I posted I also own. If you need more proof I can kindly pull them out and photograph them all together.

Anyone know the oldest printed 9.9 or 10.0 book out there?

There's images in this thread and then links to other threads with data.

While I'm at it, here's another great Stevens cover that you don't see everyday:

Still trying to upgrade to a 9.8 on this one. So, thanks for posting pics on the contents of the Back Issues catalog!

Oooooh yeah. $635 and over a day left in the auction. After giving it a lot of thought, I decided I'd make a run at it...but now it's way beyond what I'd be willing to pay. I made an agreement with myself that I could live with $500. Well, that ain't happening! It's not even a comic, it's a catalog! ha Still, it looks to be in nice shape, and it's a lovely image. I wonder what the record is for a Dave comic at auction? I can't think of many pieces that would go for this much, if any, even in 9.8. And this sucker is raw. 

My hope at this point is that this thing gets even sillier, and that brings more copies out, which would hopefully sell for less. Surely there are some hardcore Dave fans driving this thing up, bidding against each other. The next copy that comes up for auction (whenever that might be) would hopefully not go as high, as the buyer pool would be smaller by at least one copy. Fingers crossed we see some more soon.

Well whoever wants it is definitely not messing around.

I've seen pics of it before, but never seen one for sale. it's been on my checklist for many, many years, to the point where I was beginning to wonder if it even existed! So I can only imagine that there are a lot of eyes on it. This may get silly, price wise!

Oh its getting silly alright.

Agreed about the condition. It LOOKS nice, but it's only a front cover scan, so who knows what the back is like, or if there's any damage that might not show up in a single scan. If I was going to throw a lot of money at it, I'd want more pictures, I think. Then again, part of me is considering taking a run at it. I've not seen one up for sale, so I know there are likely to be a lot of folks willing to go hard to grab it. Then again, who knows when there will be another one on the market? Ugh.I need to just forget about it and walk away before I drive myself nuts! 

Never seen a copy myself. Can't even find a listing for it on MCS surprisingly. Now I need it for my DS collection. I rember the sketch of that image being in one of the Dave Stevens art books. Checked census. Only 2 graded so far. Bet that 9.6 is a beauty!

There's a truly rare Dave piece up on the bay right now. This one has been on my want list for many, many years. I thought I'd have a shot when I was willing to spend $250 on it. Well, it's currently at $405, and has four days to go. Really curious to see where this one ends up. I'd love to have it, but just can't justify the cost. Maybe another boardie will have a shot?

Been watching this. Book looks to be in excellent condition based on the scan. Curious to see the hammer price. Didnt bother to even bid in it.

What? You don't like chicken sashimi? 

Mike must be asleep.

Curious to know how it was packaged myself(if it even was). The dealer I bought the book from at the convention on sunday didn't have much information on how it was packaged or shipped either.

ya I see it on the label now, I was on my phone earlier, just assumed  

Well if it is the lone 9.8 2nd print, I hope there is a 1st print, if I go that route  

I think the first print would just be the original print. I just think cgc chose to label the Lionsgate reprint as a second printing for whatever reason.

This reminds me of a picture I've seen on the internet that I know Mike would not like me posting.
