I bought over 200 1st printing copies when it came out and about 10 variants. Held on to them all till now. Sent about half in so far! Cashing in a little on them now. I'm sure there are some newstands in there.

We had the deal negotiated in under 12 hours. I waited to pull it down until all money was sent. Fees are outrageous selling a book on eBay like this. It made sense to make the deal outside of eBay for both parties. Just sucks that it won't hit GPA I'll miss the book but I decided to get it of the collecting hobby. I've been holding an entire asm run including all variants and now it's time to move on to other hobbies. Next up is my asm 688 JSC cgc 9.8 yellow.... As far as the buyer, we spoke on the phone and I don't believe he is a boardie here.

Just an FYI I was the seller of the 9.8 that was just on eBay. The buyer and I agreed to a price outside of eBay that saves him money and didn't hit me with all the fees. The first 9.8 I sold here on the forums for $300 back in the day and now I finally sold my other one (for much more this time).

Now if someone would be kind enough to purchase it

Another thing, but I could be wrong...Just because a comic store orders 25 copies doesn't mean they "get" a variant. They have to order the variant, typically for cover price. I'm not sure if that's normal for a shop to satisfy a purchase and not pay the option for the variant, but nevertheless, i believe via Diamond order sheet you must purchase the variant in addition.

To the last poster that removed their post about rareness....I think the key here is 9.8 for rareness, not 9.6 and under (IMO). There are tons of these out there but finding one in 9.8 is the challenge.

Agreed! I bought both of mine off the shelf for $9.00 (pre-LCS discount)been released and both got cgc 9.8 blue labels. I need another score like that!

Never buy these books in the polybag without expecting less than a 9.0. The crease from the polybag seam. I've pressed countless copies of this to remove the creases and said printer grab dent on the front lower right side.

That's great congrats! Make sure you post it here when it arrives. Maybe someone should make and keep track of the boardie owned copies of this exclusive club after all. -J. DONE!! http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=8708798#Post8708798

Mine!

Because you, the fans, demanded it! For general discussions about this book see the other thread http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=8708783&fpart=1. 1.) Spidey78 - Blue - 9.8 (page 1) 2.) Snikt!1988 - SS - 9.8 3.) jump_ace - Blue - 9.8

Now if we could get more eBay sellers to stop selling them polybaged or at least screaming "brand new! NM+ because it's in the polybag still". 90% of the copies on eBay are 8.0 at best.

The only difference is Marvel Studios has their hand in it now.

Sweet, time to get these submitted then...

Bagged is a guarantee sell but for anywhere from $5-$20 (knowing the damage, I dont buy copies for over $9-10 each). Unbagged without damage I've seen sell for $50-60.
