Owner's Description
An utterly amazing book with near-perfect centering and pure white pages. This is a double issue containing one of the best Conan stories ever, namely the story about the Bull God. In my opinion Barry Smith delivered his best work in Conan 4, 10 and 13. Thus, regarding my comic books, Conan 10 at 9.8 is indeed close to being "my precious" (as Sméagol/Gollum described the Ring :-)
The book was purchased for US$ 5 at a flea market in Castro Valley, CA in 1980. For the next 30 years the owner kept the book stored at his parents house in the attic - until it was found and sent to the CGC.
Currently (July 2017) there are 14 CGC 9.8 books of Conan the Barbarian #10. I know of these 12 books:
0919393010, WP, Don/Maggie Thompson Collection
0037766029, WP
0051864003, WP
0162719001, WP

1055458012, WP
1162355010, WP
1211735015, WP
1211735016, WP
(WP = White Pages.)
I have photos/scans of 12 books, of these I would consider 0162719001, 0973877001 and 1055458012 to be great examples of (near-)perfect cover centering and orientation. You can see the 12 books here:
