Sorry, it always makes me laugh when people collect slabs of books that I remember buying from my LCS when they first were published.

 

What is truly sad and scary is that the later issues (350-425), the modern drek as some call it, are nearly impossible to find slabbed 9.8. I took a look at my raw copies, the ones i bought from my LCS, and not many of them would score a 9.6. most would rade between 9.2-9.4.

 

They aren't nearly impossible, it just that nobody thinks they are worth slabbing. Even if they would grade out as 9.9 copies, collectors just wouldn't slab them.

 

Probably but I wish they would cause I would certainly like to add them to my collection being the completionist that I am. I also know a few others that would also like to add them to their sets.

 

I have to agree with Casey about that...but mine is because customs agents have no respect for the printed word 893censored-thumb.gif

You have no idea how green eyed I feel. Congratulations on getting the monkey off your back, but as a collector you know that another target(s) will be acquired. Maybe replacing the pre-Robin Tecs liquidated to enable this purchase?

Thanks Duffman! Yep, they are back on the list! But, the finances will have to recover for a while. wink.gif

I appreciate it GAC! Yesterday was my little slice of heaven! It was worth the 350 mile round trip drive to pick it up.
