joeypost Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You could probably pick almost any nondescript modern out of a hat and wonder why there aren't more copies in 9.8 on the census. That might just be about the worst basis there is to overpay a large amount of money for a generic modern book. -J. I would tend to agree...until you get 5-6 people fighting for the best in set for a specific title. Everyone needs the same book and after 10 years of looking 1 finally shows up. At that point it is the sellers market. Unless you are selling to a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlowUpTheMoon Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 it just has a production defect, which many of you think it's hard to find in high grade. it's not. I don't think this book is possible in 9.8. I don't know if we can call this done yet on an assessment there will never be a 9.8 of this book. CGC has periodically taken production flaws into consideration. Even with the flawed copies shown here, a few folks mentioned looking at their examples and seeing very light defects in the common flawed area. Hopefully, they submit these books. Let's see as the census grows how many land at the under-grades. 5 submissions into CGC doesn't average a high sample of submissions for most any book. But the end story may be none achieve a 9.8 grade. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicquant Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Front looks like a 9.8 all day long and the back I see three small issues with the top corner being the biggest, but I just had a modern come back a 9.8 that didn't look as good as this book. And... I decided to submit a modern I found February 23rd and I just signed for it 15 minutes ago so now is a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteppinRazor Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have one that looks very similar to the last posted. What's the price difference between 9.8 and 9.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STORMSHADOW_80 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 front looks like it has a long color break above the cap marvel logo. Kind of hard to see. I'm thinking 9.4/9.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteppinRazor Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Color break is that little white curl to the top left of the logo, from the spine? Also looks like one above the black dot near the "CLAWS!" (Mine has these, too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B2D327 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I was wondering if this was still a htf book in high grade. May pull mine out for opinions too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labratnotincluded Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Crease on front thru the "O"? You have noticeable colorbreaks thru the black in the lower left logo. I know it is part of the printing issue, but the 9.8s I've seen have only a single super small barely noticeable color break there that look like less than 1/8" I have submitted personally 20 or so with way less defects that got rejected prescreen. I think some of the early 9.8s were graded a little less stringent. The later graded ones are in much better shape in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattn792 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It's probably been said before in this thread, but IMHO no copy of this book should make a 9.8. The production defect is too profound. Plus, it would stop me from buying copies out of the $1 bins, getting my hopes up that I finally found "the" copy, and getting a 9.4 or 9.6 in return. You suck Wolverine 35!

mattn792 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Definitely there. Maybe more subtle (or that’s just a scanner effect), but it’s there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William-James88 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 you guys are making me wanna check my copy. One thing I don't get though, I thought that if a particular defect was the norm than it would be fine for a 9.8. Like the small tear at the bottom of ASM 361.
