SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
2017 9.8 LOOT CRATE EDITION. PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR THIS COMIC IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THREE 9.8 COPIES. UNSURE IF OVERTIME THAT WILL ADD TO THE VALUE? WILL SEE. THIS COMIC WAS PRINTED ON LIGHTWEIGHT NEWSPAPER & HINDERS QUALITY. GOOD DECISION OR BAD $300? COMIC WAS LISTED AS A BUY IT NOW / BEST OFFER, WITH AN OFFER PENDING. HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE OFFER WAS. KNEW THERE MAY NOT BE MANY MORE CHANCES TO FIND ANOTHER 9.8. SO MADE THE PURCHASE TO LOCK IN THE COMIC.
THOUGHT PROCESS WAS IF MY OFFER WAS LOWER THAN THE FIRST I MAY LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THIS COMIC, DIDNT WANT TO LOSE IT KNOWING ONLY THERE WERE ONLY THREE CGC 9.8 GRADED ISSUES. THEY CAME IN A SMALL BOX WITH PINS AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES THE PAPER WAS SO THIN, FINDING HIGH-GRADE COPIES COULD BE DIFFICULT. THE CGC CENSUS POPULATION OF THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES, AS OF 7 / 2 / 2017 IS (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.
IT WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION PAYING TOP DOLLAR, THOUGHT WITH SOME LUCK FEW MORE WILL GRADE THIS HIGH. STILL A GREAT ADDITION TO THE SET.
12 / 23 / 2018 UPDATE, WHEN I FIRST LEARNED OF THIS ISSUE WAS LOOKED DAILY UNTIL FINDING THIS COPY ON EBAY. WHEN I BOUGHT IT THERE WERE ONLY 3 CGC GRADING 9.8. KNEW THERE WOULD BE PROBLEMS FINDING 9.8 COPIES BECAUSE OF THE PRINTING METHODS / PAPER QUALITY. SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST THREE CGC GRADED COPIES. PAID $300 HOPING NOT MANY MORE WOULD GRADE 9.8 BECAUSE OF PRINTING AND PAPER QUALITY. FEW DAYS AFTER BUYING THIS ONE THE CENSUS WAS UP TO FIVE. THE SHEER NUMBER OF QUANTITY PRINTED MADE FINDING 9.8s MUCH EASIER.
WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS A COUPLE has SOLD IN THE $65 - $75 RANGE, UP TO $15OISH AS OF 12/23/2018. ONLY A FEW HAVE SOLD AT THOSE LOW PRICES AND PRICES ARE ON THE RISE. THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE TO WAIT FOR A BETTER PRICE. THERE ARE NOW 143 / 9.8s, AND ONLY 4 SIGNATURE SERIES CGC GRADED COPIES, ONE 8.5, / ONE 9.0 / ONE 9.2 & ONE HIGHEST GRADED / 9.4. NO IDEA WHO SIGNED THE FOUR COMICS.
THIS SPECIFIC COMIC REMINDS ME OF THE TODD MCFARLANE SPAWN #228 SKETCH EDITION SIGNATURE SERIES, ALREADY HAD THE FIRST ONE GRADED, PAID $250 FOR THAT COPY DIDNT SEE A REASON TO BUY ANOTHER, TWO MORE BECAME AVAILABLE ON EBAY NOT LONG AFTER BUYING ONE I WATCHED THOSE TWO AUCTIONS CLOSE CLOSING @ $250 - $260ISH. HAD I KNOWN BETTER I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT BOTH OF THOSE COMICS BECAUSE AS OF 12 / 23 / 2018 THERE ARE ONLY 6 / 9.8s and 5 / 9.6 CGC GRADED COPIES. WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO OWN 3 OF THE 6 GRADED 9.8 COMICS. I ALSO OWN ONE OF THE 9.6 COPIES ITS THE ONLY ONE SIGNED BY STAN LEE. DEFINITELY COOL FOR THIS SET.
