Earliest 9.8 ever...

[Tsimanga]

What the heck is this book? Pretty high grade for such an early comic book... if there even were comic books back then...

The link isn't working for me. I just go to the collector's society page.

There's only one copy in the census and it's a 9.8.

 

Could the year be incorrect?

1900? Really?

[cheetah]

I think I remember seeing this for sale. Maybe on CLink. It is published by a company that does reprints. I expect the date is incorrect and that it was published between 1970 and today.

 

Of course, I could be completely misremebering.

[cheetah]

Nailed it.

 

Voodoo 7

Nailed it.

 

Voodoo 7

 

So CGC didn't know what year to assign, so they went with 1900?

 

Interesting.

Probably a database default value.

[Kawfeadikt]

I'd buy that for $9. Oh, wait, somebody already did.

Nice TEC work Cheetah.... figures you'd know about a horror comic swipe...

1900 is indeed their default.

Does anyone know what the earliest 9.8 regular comic is? I think I've seen some Church's from 1940 or 1941.

I think I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a 9.8 from before 1970.

[cheetah]

I don't really know which one is oldest but this one is pretty old.

Cool List... although I can't seem to find which book is the oldest 9.8, it did show that the oldest 9.9 was a ZIP COMICS #7 from 1940 - that's silly...

 

 

 

 

As far as 9.8's go... I found a Crackajack funnies in 9.8 from june/1938 - although Cheetahs is a much cooler book, anybody beat this early date?
