My copy has only one stress line. Both front & back cover look pretty good let me know how it turns out

maybe you should submit it and then once graded sell it to me

so your saying there's a chance???...YEAH!!!!!!!!(Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber!!! I do believe that there is a chance. I'm still looking (thumbs u

This is going to be harder than I thought Indeed

Got a couple of #35s in the mail today.....no luck:(

I seen that....very tempting...

I think we may have to inquire of a higher source Tom. I agree!!!

Is that the one that Worldsbestcomics is missing? If so, there have been a lot of people looking for one for a while! Yes, this is the one I am looking for (see my sig). The bindery tears resemble spine stress but if you open up the cover, you will see that they are torn through. I also questioned how an entire print run of hundreds of thousands of books could all have the same defect. They don't. But, like any common Marvel from that era, if it went out on the shelf or into a back issue box, it likely picked up other defects that knock it out of 9.8. And I don't know what was wrong with the quality control but over 99% of these books have the bindery tears. The 9.6s on the census all have the bindery tears I have even tried different print runs like the books that were printed for Canada instead of the US but no luck so far. I'm sure some will turn up. There have been a number of copper/modern books that had production/distribution issues that resulted in no 9.8s for a long time - Wolverine 102.5 and Wolverine 145 Nabisco are a couple other Wolverine examples - but copies eventually surfaced driven by the price for uber-HG CGC copies. The first 9.8 Wolverine 35 could sell for $500 even in this market. $500 geez louise!!! oh who am I kidding i'd pay it

How does that even happen where the ENTIRE print run has that exact same defect of a few rips in the corner? What was the print run for that book? I don't know a heck of a lot about printing but that just strikes me as a odd defect for the entire print run to have Because, contrary to what some have said in this thread, it's not just the corner. The tears can be anywhere along the entire spine. Marvel was playing with their cover stock at that time (1991), and this is the result. A lot of Nam #52s have the same problem, though not to that degree. People have been searching for a copy of this book for years without the flaw. As someone who bought them straight off the stand, with dozens of copies in my hand, I can tell you that every copy I have ever seen had it. Something just didn't mesh correctly at Quebecor that week/month. dang....oh well im going to keep searching.....

there is a CGC 9.6 currently on ebay that I could nab but its like $300 which is too much in my opinion I probably be on the lookout and at cons snap up all the issues i can on ebay and so forth....I live in Chicago so I have a few shops here i can visit too

can you elaborate further....where should I post at? in what section??

Why is Wolverine #35 so hard to find in CGC 9.8 condition....I noticed there aren't any 9.8's within the census...the highest is a 9.6...
