  1. Value for the average collector $300, for me its a different story. I paid $500 for a 9.8 third print (only copy on the census) so I would be willingly to pay more since its a second print.
  2. I remember when I purchased this you had told me that the remark was your idea and that I should frame it. It stuck with me, I had just been slacking on getting it done. Better late than ever I guess. I’m surprised you didn’t keep one for yourself to go next to the OA.
  3. Finally got this framed after 5 years!!! I’m moving soon and this will be center stage on the man room wall.
  4. Thank you! It’s been a long road (since 2016). Finding a copy is easy, the challenge is finding it in high grade. As of now there aren’t any copies graded at 9.8. The raw copies I find are not 9.8 candidates.
  5. Here is current photo of my Aliens 1988 9.8 set. #1 first, third, fourth, and x2 fifth prints (missing second print) #2 first, second, third, fourth prints (complete) #3 first, second, third prints (complete) #4 first, second prints (complete) #5 first, second prints (missing third print) #6 first print (complete, there was a rumored second print of this book but that has been proven to not exist) I have a first print of the Trade Paperback (9.8 candidate) that is off to joeypost for a press and then CGC.
  6. I would be very happy as well!! And you got the updated label, congrats! Was this an original copy you got when it came out?
  7. Recent pick up from a shop near my moms house. I only found two major flaws, blunted corner (looks way worse in the picture), and a spine tick. Not bad for only $20.
