    Iron Man #80. Two 9.8 copies on the census; first recorded sale Feb. 8th hits $1,602.00. This might be the first 9.8 copy to market. Congrats @NewWorldOrder BTW.

    I've been sitting on this "9.8 potential" book for a while and was planning to submit one of these days. Referencing the comments above, would you predict 1/5th value if one or two more copies are brought to market?

    Regardless, one of my all-time favourite covers!

    I always liked this cover! Iron Man title is severely underrated

    I had a newsstand, and yet I wasn't sure if the time had come for it, a keeper Lord willing :) 

    Bought the variant for cover price the Wednesday it released. It was a weird being B&W but it was Spider-Man and a #1 so I bought it. Sold it for $100 yrs ago lol.

    See, I keep waiting for Wilcats/Aliens to pop. way back in the day, it was "hot" because it was considered the first Authority, as it finished off the old Stormwatch team. I have a few of these because I'm an Aliens comic hoarder, but so far it hasn't really popped enough for me to sell my copies. I have the single highest graded slab, a 9.6, but I'm keeping that one for the personal collection.

    I'm feeling like a genius for picking up a bunch of Stormwatch slabs at CLink last fall. Got most of them for $12-$17, many of them were one of only two or three slabbed 9.8s, a couple the only copies. I sent most of them to MCS a couple of months ago, put $50 on them, and let them sit.  I became aware of this announcement when I suddenly sold several of them. Good times! I'd held onto the Stormwatch 4 9.8, which I'd paid about $170. Put it up at $500 after the announcement and it was gone in a couple of hours. #5 and #6 also sold quickly for me at about $100 and $75.  Also finally cashed in on the raw Stormwatch 37's I'd picked out of dollar bins over the years. I didn't have many of them (they've been under the radar spec for a lot of people for a long time) but they flew outta here.

    So, thanks to Stormwatch and Authority, it was a very good week for me!

    ON the flipside, a couple of weeks ago I thought "You know, I should get a first Damien Wayne, for my personal collection". There was a 9.8 655 on MCS for about $160. I put it in my cart, intending to go back and get it. Well, I clearly screwed that one up, it'll never be that cheap again.

    The W/A variant is a good pickup
