Congratulations and kudos for keeping that copy in such nice shape! I've been looking for a high grade copy forever but I'm afraid it's going to run away on price.

Just got it back recently and was thinking of asking his opinion about the bend (which I actually don't see in the slab). Imagine climbing above the 9.2 mark.

Ya no worries and it presents great, I guess I was just curious I don't usually press except in extreme cases like a high dollar book and it opportunity arises I did buy a slab the other day that was a 9.4 and had an overlap bend, I guess I was curious if it happened after slabbing or if indeed it is a 9.4. I'll take it as a 9.4 for the win! jokiing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit of research and not many out there.. a few 7's and 8.'s sold on ebay recently but no data available on GoCollect and not much on the auction sites... good luck with your search.

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have been trying for years to get a 9.8 of this TPB. I finally got sick of waiting and sent in this unread copy. Just got it back from CGC and was thrilled that it didn't get lower than a 9.0. Luckily I still have the copy I bought when it first came out so I can still enjoy the badass Totleben watercolor paintings that grace the introduction. Even though it's a 9.2 it's still the highest graded copy, however, it is the only one in the census so it is also the lowest graded copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Allen Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Managed to get this yesterday for £35.50 - still unsure on the exact print run though, RecalledComics have stated it to be - as well as the hardback version - low ~ I'm also unsure whether I should CGC, even in this condition ~ Spoiler JTLarsen, Skizz, Jasonmorris1000000 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonmorris1000000 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I don’t see how anyone gets 9.8’s on these trade paperbacks. People will pay over $1500 for the Olympus one. That being said, I think you have the right idea buying it raw and sending it in yourself. Edited June 11, 2020 by Jasonmorris1000000 Forgot something.

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 If I were you, I’d wait to send in one with a better spine. I have a feeling you’d probably just upgrade later anyway and this way you have a copy you get to flip through and enjoy. Bart Allen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 This one is even signed; just not by Moore. I had Jose Luis Garcia Lopez sign the first page of his story (a reprint of Batman #353). He hadn't ever seen a copy: Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
