It used to be really tough in 9.8, but more copies of surfaced in the last few years.

 

Someone put up the census numbers when they get a chance. I am curious how many are there now. I haven't checked for years.

 

There now what 3 prints and a toy reprint?

For a long time there were no 9.8's. I sent in probably a dozen copies, and all of them were 9.6's. Based on some of the copies I've seen now, probably half of those I sent in would grade 9.8 at this point.

Yeah I sent in a pair many years ago and 9.4 and 9.6 and was floored I thought they were flawless.

 

There still isn't as many by now as I thought there would be.

Based on the lax standards this book has now for 9.8's, I agree.

I started posting here since near the beginning, and mainly because of G.I. Joe.

#21 (along with 24) was always my favorite book of any age. Why no club yet? (shrug)

I suppose there is one now. Let's see what you have.

 

Love the title!

 

:applause:(worship)

 

I remember when a forumite had the third 9.8 ever to be graded. I think the book was $400-$500. Someone offered him $750-$800 and he still wouldn't sell it. It ended up going for over $2K, I believe.

 

Crazy collecting times!

I'm surprised I didn't make this a decade ago, or that someone else didn't. I think the first 9.8 sold for 3K? Wasn't me. Sadly, I've never actually had a 9.8 to this day.

Surely there must be copies in people's collections to show? (Insert Airplane! joke)

Renegar silver foil variants also welcome. :grin:

I have a first and third print but yet to ever lay my eyes/hands on a second print.

That's a mighty fine newsstand firsts print you have there. The mysterious 2nd print thing is a good discussion to bring here. Has anyone found out anymore info on it, or if it even exists?
