Can you please provide a link or screenshot to a recent sale? I will need recent sales from reputable sites/auction houses in order to update the score. I have not found any recent sales with my main sources. Thank you

I understand Matt. Thank you for the fast updates. 
 

The 9.8 for this book has only sold once (to me) during a private sale. I do not expect that it will be sold again. I will see what I can find WRT the other sales. Many thanks. 

Hello Matt, 

Please update/adjust the scores for the following book:

Set: Harbinger (1992)

1. Harbinger: Children of the Eighth Day TP Second Printing

Justification: This book has an estimated print run of 15,000 copies (quite low for the early 1990s) compared to the 150,000 copies of the First Printing that were printed. 

To date, only one CGC 9.8 copy has ever been graded and for a very long time it certainly  appeared that a 9.8 would never be found. A 9.4 was graded a while back (sold in 2019 for $165) which was the highest graded copy until a 9.8 was finally graded (after more than two decades) also in 2019.

The only  9.8 was privately sold in the amount of $1,500 in the fall of 2019, and would sell easily today for $2,000 with very little effort. 
 

Hands-down the most difficult of all Harbinger (1992) books to find in high grade. 

Can you please provide a link or screenshot to a recent sale? I will need recent sales from reputable sites/auction houses in order to update the score. I have not found any recent sales with my main sources. Thank you

CGC awards time is upon us. Anyone care to weigh in on who is the best choice for Best Forumite? Or is there a registry set that you find particularly impressive? Let us know what you think 

The modern set(s) I have focused on this year that I hope you will find impressive are: 

1. Divinity
2. Harbinger
3. Savage

Considerable time and effort have gone into these sets, and each is 100% and top set; however, my Divinity set is in the best position to score a 2019 Registry Award. 

Please, have a look at let me know what you think! 

I love Ricomortis and Aport. 

Hi Mollie,

Pls add the following books to Savage (Valiant). I believe that this is the last book from that series to be slabbed.

Set: Savage (Valiant)

Book: Savage #3 Second Printing (2039317010)

Hi Mollie,

Pls add the following books to Divinity (2015).

Set: Divinity (2015)

Book: Divinity One Dollar Debut #1 (2039317003)

Please NOTE: To avoid confusion, there is also a Divinity One Dollar Debut #1 which was released in 2/16 that already exists in the set (different cover art).

The *NEW* Divinity One Dollar Debut #1  was released in 3/19 and looks entirely different on both the front and back than the Divinity One Dollar Debut #1 released in 2/16. 

BOTH Divinity One Dollar Debut #1s should be listed in this set.

Set: Savage (Valiant)

Book: Harbinger Renegade/Savage Ashcan Double Feature #nn

Certification Number: 1450113021

Britannia #2 original cover art by Adam Gorham.

Original cover art for The Savage #1 by Lewis LaRosa.
