Yes they have. Some that have done the guaranteed 9.8s and no raws have them sent to the grading company who destroys the remainder printed. Thing is, they always print more than they say to cover damage, comps and test prints. They always print more than is advertised. It's not up to the retailer.
Even Bulletproof is saying the virgin is limited to 1,000 and they will all be 9.6 or higher. But in the last they have accounted for 20% damage. So, they are printing at least 1,200 would be my guess.
