daken2626 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etanick Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 i am guessing the cost of slabbing isn't worth it for most people more so than rarity. I bet if you post WTB raw 9.8, you might get a few offers. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Production defect. Ask anyone who collects Wolverine runs know how hard it is to find. I have been looking for years for a friend and cannot find a copy that comes close to 9.6, let alone 9.8. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daken2626 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Here is the best Wolverine set there is. Every book is a 9.8 or higher. Except one sole 9.6. #35. And he's been looking for years. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, there have been a lot of people looking for one for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, there have been a lot of people looking for one for a while! Yes, there are two to three tears on the lower left hand corner along the spine. If someone can produce a 9.8 copy, it will go for hundreds if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The entire print run was like this. It's also not the only book printed this way. There may be a small handful that don't have these tears, but it's not likely. BlowUpTheMoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youfoundjake Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Looks like i'm trying to figure out which freaking box i have my Wolverine 35's in this weekend Yup, same here, and 30 mins ago I was just in that box pulling out 3 #1's and a #10 to submit for pre-screening. Since I forgot the Swamp Thing issues, I suppose I should go grab #35 and see what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a small handful that don't have these tears, but it's not likely. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
