a hard rare book to get in 9.8?

[tinynascarfan-migration]

really, how many times do you notice books that folks list as rare, but you know they aint?

 

was lookin around the new mutants, for a second print of 87, found 3 on ebay, 2 of em said tough to find...what a laugh.

 

I don't care if there is only 2 copies of a perfect 10 graded hulk 181, if only 1 person wants this book, then the second copy is worthless unless the person wants 2 copies of it.

 

I have tons of 9.8's that only 1 copy is graded, but I must be the only person who wants them, cause im the only person getting em graded. so I guess that makes all them books "tough to get in 9.8"

I see that WAY to often on ebay.

[revat]

I think you want to look for comics with 20 or more 9.6 w one or less 9.8

Kind of like Walking Dead #1's with black lettering in 9.8 that are being pushed in the sales forum here as being rare by a certain seller?

[oakman29]

Creepy #32 in 9.8,only one.Only one in 9.6 too.

[Gotham Kid]

There are many, many books spanning all ages with only a single 9.8 on the census...

[Magneto]

I started to pay close attention to books that are hard to find and realized that many are not hard to find at all. What's hard to find is the money to afford them!

[tinynascarfan-migration]

hey, I got a Darkhold #1 graded 9.6, and that's the only one ever graded, somebody should have to pay me, lets see, 800 bucks for it, its extremely rare!

 

 

wish I could find that sucker!

BA Marvels are usually common as dirt but Avengers 103 and 105 are IMPOSSIBLE to find in 9.8. I haven't checked the census in awhile but I don't think there's a 9.8 of either of those books

[marino1]

i havent checked the census in a while but i remember around 2001-2004 amaz spiderman#301 cgc 9.8 was very tough to find and amaz#202 cgc 9.8 has always been a tough one.

[Gatsby77]

Agree with Marino.

 

I think the key is to look for books that have decent demand (mainline 70s Marvels, ASM, Batman, etc.) but are weirdly impossible to find in true 9.8 relative to their surrounding issues (be it a printing defect, etc.).

 

For awhile, such under-the-radar books included ASM 301, Wolverine 35, and Harbinger 1.

 

Sure, they might only be $1 bin or $10 fodder in 9.2/9.4 but well-worth slabbing if you think you've got a true 9.8 on your hands.

I'm having trouble finding a particular issue of Adventure from 1961 in 8.0 or better, much less 9.8.
