Doesn't seem worth the effort financially unless he's really into having a ton of X-O #1's 

I guess if he can get the current GPA for all the 9.8's it'd be worth it.

Really?  77% of the lot came back slabbed and it's still not worth it?  Jeez, tough crowd.    By my reckoning, at current average sale prices, I'm up over $2500.

But yes, I actually am enjoying just having a ton of X-O #1s.  It's my favorite title.

I'm not in any hurry.  Eventually, I'll put them up for sale one at a time; no intention of flooding the market.

Thanks for the update. What did the breakdown of grades end up at?

31 at 9.8

27 at 9.6

17 rejected at the 9.6 pre-screen.

1 of the original 76 was a junk issue that I presume the LCS who sold them picked from his bin and threw into the lot.  That was not submitted.

The auctions mentioned were mostly bid on by valiant board members. The winner of the X-O #1's is hoping for some 9.8s is the pile of 70+ copies for nearly $3k

Well, just for the record, I paid $2559 with shipping for 76 copies.  The books are in pretty darn good condition.
