The bidding escalated quickly at the end. Was sitting around $800 for a while.

This book is both my nightmare and best laugh sometimes. 

Ive looked for this book for years with no luck. I could have bought 
it online many times, but whats the point there? I want to find it in the wild.

Now what his funny for me is when I am selling a normal Sandman 8.
I get the PMs that want to dance around the issue. Questions like can 
you send me a picture of the inside cover? Or what does the inside cover
look like? 

Most time I answer them straight out that its not it. But, every once in awhile
all answer what they are looking for and that I just accepted a very cheap
offer from the buyer right before you asking me the same question. The
responses I get back are hilarious.

You are doing the world a service, continue antagonizing those fools trying to rip a seller off

Don't give up on the hunt through, Sandman was the one series I also hoped to find in the wild and actually managed it! It wasn't this variant but rather the color error edition of #18. I ended up finding a mid grade raw copy hanging high up on a wall of a very small comic shop while visiting another town - where it was obviously hanging for years, as it was dusty and sun bleached save for whatever parts were covered by an old price sticker and other wall comics overlapping it   (I ended up bleaching the rest of it so everything matched - looks so much better now and goes well with the interior ink error)

Anyone believe this copy actually sold? Graded copies were up for less.

well it is a "year later" according to the post and the question of "they're for less?"

or am I missing something? I didn't click on the links, but just assumed the "down market"
