I bid early on but once it passed $100 I dropped out altogether. 

I too bid early , but like you dropped out as I have about 10 of these and pretty sure at least 1 or 2 may hit that 9.8, but just a minute or two after the sale I get a text from one of my local friends..  

I was shocked as well. I know the person who ended up with the 4th. Which all he plans on doing is trying to relist and flip for a higher price. 

Agreed.  More and more books we never really thought would command such prices, are again trying to price us out of obtaining them. Still hope , like you said that after the initial 9.8's hit their lone census prices the rest come back to earth a little to allow us to  complete our sets.

I had been watching that Adventures of Superman 498 4th printing and was sent an offer by the seller of $299.99.  I wonder if it went for full price?  That is a lot to pay for a raw book that you can't even see first hand... could be my imagination but the lower left corner looks like it has one, maybe two, breaks in it.  Certainly hope the buyer is happy at that price!

Really jealous of whoever got the Superman 77 2nd and 3rd prints!

 

That was my wonder which is why I have it shown as sort by sold highest to lowest. The range it fell in suggested it sold for full price. I too has been sent a similar , if not same offer, but seemed too steep. I also agree about the pictures as I thought maybe 9.2-9.4 only way I saw that a 9.6 was maybe a clean and press, as I agree at what looks like those spots as well as a dimple on rear cover just to the right of the " Y ".  I had the same thoughts about the # 77... Jealous..

This just happened.
