Kortoga Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Thank you Hudson for the insight of your experiences. I know right now I have nothing of value to offer anyone here besides my motivation to be in this hobby and interact in the past services CGC offers and sells by purchasing products they have produced. And maybe one day transact directly with CGC with the services they offer. As you described, I am on the same journey you began (and everyone else). Cheers! and thank you!

You have plenty to offer - just hang out and participate in the conversations. That's really what this place is about. The buying and selling aspect are a small part of what makes this place fun. Bringing what you know, and asking about what you don't know is the great part of what these Boards offer. Welcome!

Good luck on the quest. It looks like there are currently 105 CGC 9.8 copies of this book that are all signature series. How many are double signed by writer and artist is unknown but I'd think at least half? Anyway, good luck @Kortoga and welcome to the boards!! WHEN (I won't say IF) you find a copy, please let us know and post a pic! thehumantorch and Hudson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am trying to figure out what your post is saying. Is this comic available for sale somewhere? Do you own this comic? I have specifically wondered if I should purchase a 9.8 signed by Jerome Opena, then somehow get it signed by Rick Remender and re-graded. I have zero, absolutely zero experience in doing this. But everything is figureoutable and I don't mind trying! grendel013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have specifically wondered if I should purchase a 9.8 signed by Jerome Opena, then somehow get it signed by Rick Remender and re-graded. I have zero, absolutely zero experience in doing this. But everything is figureoutable and I don't mind trying! I actually went on the CGC registry and searched through the Seven to Eternity set. I went through every member who has a registered set and checked out everyone who had a graded 9.8 copy of issue 1A. I then took the cert number and looked that up on the census to get the details. Probably about 5 or 6 members had an autographed copy with just Opena's signature. This member happened to have this particular copy from Opera's personal collection. Nobody had a double signed issue or even one just signed by Remender. I don't know off hand if that member/owner is also on these boards but it is possible to contact them through the registry. But I was thinking along those lines. If you can't find a double signed 9.8 maybe get a signed Opena copy and then hunt down Remender for a sig.

Kortoga Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 grendel013, I had no idea that was a process that could be done. Thank you for sharing, I will use that method! And was already thinking of purchasing a signed Opena, then traveling down the path for Remender. I am assuming Remender is easier to track down. man, thanks a lot! grendel013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself work with data for my profession so I use those skills in my hobby. Hudson and Kortoga 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in my previous posts, you can find a LOT of great people here willing to help you find whatever you are looking for; people who have nothing to gain other than the ultimate satisfaction of helping another collector (a fellow human being) with attaining their dream collection. Many thanks to @grendel013 for taking the time and effort to provide this data. Kortoga, grendel013 and thehumantorch 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
