Owner's Description
Well, maybe I should not have bought this book. I already have one copy of this book at CGC 9.6 WP with the most perfect centering and cover orientation, but suddenly I saw this beauty with perfect orientation and near-perfect centering and being the weak man I am I could not resist buying the book (I guess the saying "the more the merrier" is so true in this regard ;-). Actually I have only seen one other Conan #9 9.8 WP book match the beauty of this book, since most Conan #9 books at 9.8 are badly centered and/or have non-horizontal cover orientation - so it is very hard to find a Conan #9 book 1) at 9.8, 2) with pure white pages, 3) with perfect cover orientation and 4) with perfect cover centering.
Currently (July 2017) there are 30 CGC 9.8 books of Conan the Barbarian #9. I know of these 24 books:
0919393009, WP, Don/Maggie Thompson Collection
1010462014, WP, Rocky Mountain pedigree
1027525010, WP, Suscha News pedigree
1027530009, WP, Suscha News pedigree
0051819010, WP
0051824006, WP
0051852007, WP
0051864006, WP
0089536008, WP

0193305009, WP
0702579005, WP
0743086007, WP
0975863008, WP
1041671001, WP
1097584008, WP
1107011009, WP
1171309014, WP
1216916018, WP
1332675002, WP
0096990024, OW-W
0793043006, OW-W
0919987003, OW-W
0032581008, O-W
(WP = White Pages, OW-W = Off-White to White Pages and O-W = Off-White.)
I have photos/scans of 22 books, of these I would consider 0975863008 and 1171309014 to be the absolute reference regarding perfect cover centering and orientation. Although I have not seen 8 of the 30 books, I am guessing that chances are really really slim to find more beautiful books than 0975863008 or 1171309014. You can see the 22 books here:
