Only 4 9.8s ... not that many were submitted anyway, but I'm assuming thats the reason

[kidcolt]

Cap is hot right now + its a 9.8.

[alwaysbronze]

cause its byrne

[joe_collector]

Correction, its...

 

On of John Bryne's best covers

[Rodey]

Awesome cover. Awesome story.

And like Rodney said a awesome story arc, and also because I sold it. I probably could have held out for more, maybe even increased the asking price if I wanted to sit on it for a while as I bet I could have easily got full price on it (book sold in about 15 minutes after I listed it). I still own the Winnipeg 9.6 copy which I cracked out of the slabb so that is good enough for me. I think Showcase NE sold a 9.6 last week for $140?

That price is crazy, but that book rocks. I really enjoyed reading it (thanks shiverbones)

Poor Rodie.

[seanfingh]

 

The only sweet thing is that Rhoadie has got to be vaulting himself in to a custom title.

 

 

[General Zod]

I know of a band that needs a good roadie.

[Rodey]

You guys just keep them pouring in! Ha!

[the blob]

cap kills the dude in there, intentionally, how often did that happen with marvel heroes back then?

[Rodey]

BYe bye Baron Blood! Say hello to my little shield!

 

Yeah, good story. Wish Union Jack would get more props.

All of those Byrne Caps (247-255) seem to be scarce in high grade. There aren't many submitted and no grades higher than 9.6 for #247 and #253.

Have you seen the prices you get? I bought a few for $12-$17 each in CGC 9.4, so I can hardly imagine too many dealers getting excited over sending them in for a chance at the "CGC 9.8 lottery".

 

And BTW, these are far from rare in HG, as all Byrne books from the late-70's/early-80's were hoarded in quantity.
