Is this one harder to find than the other X-Men Gold Pressman variants? I've found 5 or 6 copies of the X-Men #303 Gold Variant in the wild but have never found a copy of this particular book.

 

Absolutely!!! Like I said, "All praise due to Billy" as he's the one who went into the wild and found this, but I can tell you having looked myself that I have NEVER found a better than 9.2 copy on ebay. From what I understand this wasnt included in the Pressman board games like the others but had to be sent off for like the Nabisco variants. Theres 4 9.8s on the census out of a total 10 books graded. I'd be surprised if the 9.8 count ever goes over 10.

If it wasnt for Billy AKA PaperAirplane I dont think I'd ever have seen this book in a 9.8 slab. He is a rare slab ninja and hands down the best seller I have ever dealt with on these boards or off.

 

:foryou: Thanks, my friend. I've looked for these for years, and the odds of finding this book in 9.8 condition is very slim. Many times harder than the rest. Now if I could just zero in on the next NM98 10.0.
