It's an auction now...let's see where this ends.

 

Forever Evil #1 3D CGC 9.8

 

:popcorn:

 

 

Wow, and that's a 9.8. I'm still thinking there are going to be 9.9s somewhere out there. It's already higher than I thought it might get. How many are there ?

 

I thought it was one per store that ordered at least 300 copies of Forever Evil #1

nope...it was initially solicited as a 1:25....then qualifying orders exceeded the number DC produced, so they limited to one per store (all accounts got)....

 

there are still some out there, that were not distributed, that will make their way into the market sooner or later...

I don't understand how many of these can be lower that 9.8. Covers are made of plastic so bent corners and creases will be harder to get.

 

huh?

 

Plastic is harder than paper.

 

They damage differently (this was discussed some pages ago in this thread). While the covers are Baltic and May not be subject to bends and tears, the plastic is subject to scratches and scuffs. They are harder to see because of the lenticular covers, but they are definately there.

 

I can remember what issues it was, but I there was one comic that had the same scratch in the middle of the back cover. It looked like a huge dent but there was no change in the surface.

I saw plenty of copies with corner damage the past few weeks. The books can still take hits, and still be damaged.

 

The lenticular also is easily damaged and show production issues to boot.

How do you think these will hold up long term ? This seems to be similar tech to the old 3d baseball cards from cereal boxes years ago. A lot of those bent, folded, and cracked. I believe this year is the first time they've used this technology all the way around the comics. I remember the cut out 3d squares attached to the cover but never the entire cover.
