  1. @Dr. Dankwhen did you acquire your copy? Nicely done!
  2. Based on census numbers and public sales Aliens #2 1989 would be considered the toughest. Myself and @ramrod44own two out of the five. I bought mine from @ironcorn and he got his from comic link. We both paid more for that book than we did for Predator #3.
  3. Some of the harder books to find in 9.8 in regards to Dark Horse Aliens, Predator and AVP books are Aliens #2 1988, Aliens #2 1989, Predator #3, AVP #0 and Dark Horse Presents 35.
  4. If a #2 came to market I’d wager that it would sell between $600-1000. I saw one sell for over $1k on comic link in 2019. I paid $775 for mine. Got a third print as well.
  5. Redneck 1, Nailbiter 1, Curse Words 1, Manifest Destiny 1
  6. Just need to get Best Cellars 1, Avatar Illustrated (1998), and Dream Walker 0. I kick myself for not grabbing these a year or so ago. I keep kicking the can down the road on certain books and then I regret it. I rarely get buyers regret, it’s usually failing to buy regret.
  7. Just a couple books away from my goal; Punisher limited series 1-5 direct, SS, newsstand, and Canadian 9.8 sets. If anyone has any leads let me know (#3 SS, #5 newsstand, #1 & #3 Canadian). Figured I would throw in some pics of my raw copies as well.
  8. This 36k sale has not been added to GPA. They’re usually diligent about that. I wonder if it’s the seller trying to manipulate the market. The book hasn’t been relisted but the price kept jumping every week for the past month or so. Thoughts?
  9. Have you been picking up 9.8 copies of this series as well? The covers are awesome!
  10. Looks like he already gave it a “good press” in the scanner.
  11. I would put them somewhere around the range of the #3 NYCC variant value. Not a mainstream book for the casual collector but a “must have” for a TMNT fan.
  12. Missed the DHC 13 on comiclink. When I clicked “yes, proceed” to confirm my bid my iPad zoomed in instead of processing my request. I was not happy but picked this up off eBay. One book closer...
  13. I knew Marvel was going to go variant crazy on Aliens. I’ll wait until they’re $10 a piece then I will grab them, lol.
  14. This right here is how I think about completing sets. That’s how I felt about the first Aliens mini series. Number 2 cost me twice as much as number 1 but I got number one on the cheap compared to current prices.
  15. @valiantmanI feel the same way about books. I generally wait till they’re graded by someone else. I have submitted books and gotten pretty lucky. But it’s just easier for me to get them post submission. I do have a pred vs Magnus TPB that is definitely 9.8 potential. I wish I didn’t pass on the one that sold on eBay. Oh well, hopefully more get subbed.
