SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
2017 9.8 LOOT CRATE EDITION. PAID TOP DOLLAR TO SECURE THIS COMIC AS IT IS ONLY ONE OF THE FIRST THREE 9.8 COPIES GRADED ON THE CGC CENSUS AS OF 8 / 26 / 2017. OVER TIME THAT PROBABLY WONT ADD TO THE VALUE WITH POSSIBILITY MORE COULD GRADE 9.8. THIS COMIC WAS PRINTED ON LIGHTWEIGHT NEWSPAPER MAKING 9.8s SCARCE. GOOD DECISION OR BAD PAYING THIS MUCH? THE COMIC WAS LISTED AS A BUY IT NOW / BEST OFFER, WITH AN OFFER PENDING. HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE OFFER WAS. KNEW THERE MIGHT NOT BE MANY MORE CHANCES TO FIND ANOTHER 9.8.
IF MY OFFER WAS LOWER THAN THE FIRST I MAY LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THIS COMIC, DID NOT WANT TO LOSE IT KNOWING ONLY THREE 9.8 GRADED ISSUES. THEY CAME IN A SMALL BOX WITH PINS AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES THE PAPER WAS SO THIN, FINDING HIGH-GRADE COPIES WILL BE DIFFICULT. THE CGC CENSUS POPULATION OF THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES, AS OF 7 / 2 / 2017 (25) COPIES TOTAL GRADED, BASICALLY, 12 IN EVERY 100 HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A 9.8. 12% FOR A COPY PRINTED ON SUCH THIN PAPER ACTUALLY IS A HIGH NUMBER, DOUBT THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE 5% PER 100 GRADED.
DEFINITELY, MORE COULD BE GRADED 9.8 SO IT WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION PAYING TOP DOLLAR, WITH SOME LUCK FEW MORE WILL GRADE THIS HIGH. AT BEST MAY HAVE SAVED $100 BUT OK AS THIS IS A GREAT ADDITION TO THE SET AND GUT FEELING FEW MORE WILL GRADE 9.8 FROM NOW ON...TIME WILL TELL.
