romanheart Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I thought this thread has been very quiet for some time and then I see an eye-popping 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That spine is insanely awesome looking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_react Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Killer spine, for sure. I'm really excited to see how it does. Hopefully it will be an outrageous, head-scratching result. Of course, since it's a book I'm selling and not a book I'm buying it'll probably sell for $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I totally hear you my man!! It's an INCREDIBLE copy Rob, it will do well. (Was in my top ten hardest DD books to create or find already slabbed, in NM or better) Could have been the year I was looking, but it still was so hard to find any worthy for subbing or for sale or auction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I never shared a photo of the #69. It's up on ComicLink now in the auction preview. Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMyAmadeus Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I love the description. "This pristine CGC 9.8 Near Mint/Mint is the highest graded, and is 1 of only 3 examples for which CGC has ever assigned this stunning top grade. As such, DD #69 is one of the rarest issues in 9.8 from this period of the run, and it has been more than 3 years since we've seen one. Further enhancing its desirability, CGC has assigned its near perfect page quality designation, Off-White to White Pages. " That's why I do it.

rob_react Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 By the way... I pulled the trigger on this tonight. It was expensive, but less expensive than the last #55 9.4 that sold at ComicConnect (that went for over $900) so I don't feel all that bad about it. I'm now down to 2 holes (#1 and #86) and 3 upgrades (#7,#72 and Annual #3) for the 1-157 set in 9.4 or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not with this one, but I'm sure your powers will be called on for at least one of the above slots. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Andahaion Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 That #55 cover is striking. Very nice. Might have to put it higher atop my priority buying list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_react Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 That #55 cover is striking. Very nice. Might have to put it higher atop my priority buying list. Yeah, it's a great cover. I can't wait to get the book in hand. I think the scan is a little light so it's going to be even nicer in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Holy craap! $900 for a 9.4!!! WOW!!! And I thought I bought some high priced +#50 issues!! A nice #86 is bound to be coming forth soon. Any in the pipeline? Or any #72s or Annual #3s in the works Rob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any in the pipeline? Or any #72s or Annual #3s in the works Rob? $975 http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=537141 I won five books in that auction and just watched that #55 spiral away from me. I think I bowed out at like $500. I have faith an 86 will show up at some point. I'm going to go full-court press on trying to find one since it's the last hole (other than #1 which is easier to source if much more expensive.) I don't have anything in the pipeline. I don't have anything for the #72 or the Annual #3 either. I don't mind the 72 as much as it's just a 9.2 but it's Western Penn, I think upgrading the Annual #3 is going to be beast There's one 9.8, six 9.6s and two 9.4s. That's tougher than 86 (one 9.8, four 9.6s and seven 9.4s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's tougher than 86 (one 9.8, four 9.6s and seven 9.4s) I paid a nutty price for my #86 in a Comic Connect Auction. Though I can't say I regret it too much. On the other hand, I bought my for my Annual #3 for $20 in 1998. I paid more to slab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
