My First 9.9

I finally own one...

After 3 years of submitting countless books and never receiving that seemingly unattainable grade, opportunity arose and I took advantage. I finally went out and purchased a book in cgc 9.9 that I felt was worth it. It was also the only Uncanny X-Force #1 J. Scott Campbell variant in 9.9 condition according to the cgc census.

So why this book? For starters, I happen to like the new Uncanny X-Force series. I think it is pretty well written and the cast of characters blend well enough to create intriguing stories for years to come. Secondly, rarity... this varaint was only available in limited qauntites to comic shops thus this version of the variant is highly sought after (plus it's JSC who has his own following of collectors in his own right). Also this is the only one graded in cgc 9.9!!! The deep solid red background makes any imperfections along the corners and spine standout and would be immediately visable... thus attaining this high grade is a feat that may rarely be duplicated. But lastly, its price... I think the seller undervalued the book slightly therefore, if in the future, I wanted to resell the book I could gain a small profit (or a large profit if enough demand is present).

But for now its gonna go into the collection and join the rest of the slabs in its new home, and maybe, it won't be long before its joined by another 9.9.
