This is a new bump on account of the new ridiculously low price offer

nm (this is an old bump)

Offering chance to grab on eBay for $1549 plus shipping or 1st in this thread or via pm gets it for $1450 plus shipping but only through here. There are some other books I have my eye on so want to raise some cash. No probies or HOS members. Just to put this in perspective, this is about a $2000 to $2500 comic in 9.8 but I know it's a very specific audience that would be interested. Anyone that knows the 1988 set can attest. This is bargain basement stuff at my prices. If it sells on eBay before I have a chance to review this thread or my messages (i.e. someone hits the 'Buy it Now' on ebay, then that is out of my control) https://www.ebay.com/sl/success?categoryId=32767&draftId=835076257700&itemid=332469259961&mode=revise

Well they made me put trade value in the past since I said I'm intrested in trading however I am open to offers. I would sell for that price. As a matter of fact, I am lowering it as of now to $2400 outright sale now, or 9.8 Ms marvel 1 plus 9.8 Ms marvel 18 from the 1977 series.

Sale price: $2400.00 (was $2900) Trade interests: Option 1 - X-23 #1 Del'Otto or however it is spelled plus X-23 #4 Variant CGC 9.8 and X-23 #9 Variant CGC 9.8 from the 2010 X-23 series Option 2 - Ms. Marvel #1 CGC 9.8 plus Ms. Marvel #18 9.8 from the 1977 series Option 3 - Marvel Preview 7 CGC 9.8 1st Rocket Raccoon (I'd throw in $700 cash on that) Option 4 - Cash Rarity!: There are only 3 non-signature and one signature. I happen to own two. One of mine is not available as I have no desire to part with it, so that essentially leaves 3 (including my extra). Of those 3, the single signature series one is owned by the #1 set holder for Wolverine 1988 and he went to great lengths to own it so pretty sure that one is off the board. The other is spoken for by the current top 3 Wolverine 1988 set owner, MattK and I would be shocked if he were willing to part with it. I guess what I'm saying is this is it if you want one of these and I am thinking there will be very few 9.8s come along moving forward. Heck, a recent auction on ebay of a Wolverine 35 9.8 fetched over $1000 and there are more of those and Wolverine 145 Nabisco of which there are actually many 9.8s go for $1200 plus. I would value this at trade value of $2400 (I am open to offers too and it doesn't hurt to ask!). I've completed my Alias set, essentially completed my Wolverine 1988 set (I'd consider a decent offer of a 1988 Wolverine issue 88 CGC 9.8 True Non-Deluxe with something else enticing as I really need that to have all 9.8s as I currently only own that in 9.6.) I'm bored so there's that. Thanks! I'll be happy to answer any PM's, but the in the thread is king if we haven't come to a definitive agreement. If for some reason someone takes it in a PM while someone is taking it in the thread, the time stamp will determine who gets the book. Books must be specifically claimed in the thread or via PM. No HOS or Probation List members, please. I reserve the right to not sell to anyone Shipping: Shipping will be by U.S.P.S., packed securely in boxes, via Priority Mail and at cost. Sorry, no Media Mail. Sorry, only U.S and Canadian orders at this time. If you decide to check out early, I should be able to ship to you within 48 hours of payment. Payment: PayPal only preferred on this thread. Payment is expected within 3 days of an unless you check with me before buying. Returns: Returns....well, I only usually sell CGC graded stuff so if you are not sure you want something, then don't buy it because graded comics like this are non-returnable.

Although the above is true, you have to factor in the willingness of the seller to sell or negotiate as well as the current scarcity of the comic in the particular grade. Bottom line is how much is it worth to you and are you satisfied with the purchase after all is said and done

Best Presented Sets labratnotincluded - Wolverine (1988) I want to thank the fine folks at CGC for this special recognition. It is a fantastic feeling to win such a prestigious citation out of the tens of thousands of sets competing for a handful of awards. I love this hobby and the people that have found their passion in collecting such a noble art form. Special thanks to my fellow Wolverine(1988) set holders for the occasional banter and discussions (Mattn792, Frostking, Tooch81, Jimmy Mint, MattK3447). A huge shout-out to Gemma and Mollie for all their timely help when I needed it! CGC is the BEST!

Here is the list. I have corrected the Epson GT model and added the 15000...also, do NOT mistake the workforce gt-1500 for the GT-15000!: Epson GT-20000 Epson GT-15000 <-- very nice HP 7310 HP 7400 (7710 is the actual number for a search) HP 7410 All-in-one. HP 7780 AIO HP Scanjet 8200 HP 8250 HP 8300 HP 8350 HP 8390 (according to HP specs) Microtek Scanmaker i800 plus Microtek V6UPL Microteks 9600-9700-9800

Epson15000 is my suggestion. Easy to replace the glass if scratched and produces great scans with the free scanner app that comes with tve driver download for windows. I took my time reading up and have not been disappointed

Comics Verification Is there something going on today? 04/24/17. I checked 4 slabs I got off ebay and not in database. Double checked using slabs that are part of my sets and they are not in database either.

I recently bought an Epson GT-15000 on ebay for $199 plus shipping. It came $267.70. So I discovered it had shallow scratches which when you scan larger images ends up showing up like a sore thumb. I tried polishing etc using brasso and various other things. I guess I didn't have the patience to wait and kept hearing how too much can warp/distort the image. The other day after weeks of dwelling and researching, I was about to pull the trigger on getting this: Epson Assy-CVR-Upper+Glass, Item#1261364. After much searching, I think I found a replacement for about $340 shipped but it was thru an overseas company and I couldn't even tell if they really had it available as this is a discontinued model. I finally opted to remove the upper assembly myself (as I discovered, the lid lifts right off and there were only 4 outer case screws plus a 5th on the back. After removing those, the upper assembly lifted right off. I could see that the glass was attached using some kind of adhesive. I first slowly used a mat cutter blade to ease between the glass and the plastic ruler/guides that are adhered to the surface. For the larger one on the end, I had to undo a screw from the underneath side then loosen the adhesive bond carefully with the razor blade. I utilized the mat cutter blade and worked from the underneath side in between the glass and plastic lip every so carefully and tried using a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive bond. After much patience and effort, I was able to remove the glass. The glass apparently had a 5/8" gray paint border on the underneath that was apparently there to conceal the areas where they use adhesive to adhere it to the case. I found a local glass/mirror shop (they do auto glass too apparently) and brought the piece in. They cut me a new piece and buffed the edges for me. It cost all of $16 and some change. I was rather pleased. I went to the hardware store and spent another $11 on blue painter tape and gray spraypaint that is made to adhere to plastic and other materials. I measured and taped all areas not to receive paint and spraypainted the uncovered areas. After removing the tape, it looked pretty darn good.....until I tried to mount it to the case again and I'd positioned it slightly off so tried to move and the paint flaked/peeled off where spots of adhesive had come into contact. Arghhhhh! Well, I ended up using the blade to easily scrape off the paint job I'd done and then used it to cut the top of adhesive that had attached itself to the paint that was left on the case. I decided that I didn't need the border. Well it looked off and really began to bother me after a while. The scans were perfect now but the adhesive showing bugged me to no end. I started searching for some plastic strips that I could attach to the borders to cover the unsightly edges. Nobody has anything apparently that I could find anywhere online or in office stores, walmart etc. Just when I'd about given up hope, I decided to go to Hobby Lobby at the suggestion of my girlfriend. Well, I finally found something I thought would work....self-adhesive vinyl. It comes in packages of 2 sheet that are 12" x 36". I proceeded to cut them in 5/8" wide strips down the long length of the sheet. I peeled away a little bit of the backing to check how tacky the adhesive was and discovered it was also gray/silver on the back! I grabbed a piece of scrap glass and tested it out to see how it looked from the other side. It was exactly what I'd hoped. I cut about 5 to be safe in case I screwed up attaching which I did so good planning. When I attached along the bottom outer edges to match what the original scanner glass looked like, I began by attaching one end to the corner edge and slowly used a cloth to press down along the side as I attached it along the length of the glass to ensure no air bubbles. I cleaned off the under glass surface to make sure no dust or fingerprints and then reattached to the scanner upper assembly and reattached the plastic guide/rulers I'd carefully removed previously. I cleaned the surface of the glass and reattached the assembly to the scanner. It looks good as new and functions like new. I actually prefer the stock Epson Scan software to the VueScan especially because the Epson software was free and I compared samples set to some settings someone on here recommended for VueScan to default settings for Epson Scan (well, actually I selected the professional view options then did the 'remove dust' option and one other)... as far as I could tell, they looked pretty much the same. Here are some pics of the vinyl self-adhesive package as well as the finished scanner bed and a scratched glass scan and then new glass scan. Hope this helps someone else that has run into scratched glass on one of these. Only costs a little time and $20 to repair to like-new. I also cleaned any dirt off the case and cover but here you go: Self-Adhesive Vinyl Scanner Bed with new glass and under border Scan pre-glass replacement Scan post-glass replacement

UPDATED JUNE 9th 2017: Wolverine 1988... Filled in just in a nick of time!! link to WeaponXtreme! <--- I have been going into overdrive tweaking a bunch of my sets with colorful intros and very detailed individual issue descriptions. Let me know what you think and feel free to offer up any suggestions....always a work in progress! Not all have intros but most do that have multiple comic and a couple do that only have 1 or 2 in them. I did Alias, Capt Britain, Incredible Hulk, all the X-23, The Wolverine sets, Shadowman, Harbinger, Rai, New Mutants, Marvel Preview, X-Men, Psylocke, The NYXs and I think that is all of em. Link to my registry sets

Ok, I updated with the info everyone asked about. Hopefully this is good now, yes?

Well, if you post items in the want to buy section you get a nasty gram. I am offering these for sale where the currency is in the form of comics I am looking for. I am not currently listing any of these anywhere else. I seldom have any kind of response for anything on the want to buy forum, no matter how much I have offered (sometimes waaayyyyy over GPA) I would gladly post on the Want to Trade board.....if only I spoke Hovitos. According to the section heading it says: Comics Market - Forum Only Selling Area 40 A board specifically for direct selling offers to other board members without an intermediary (no ebay, or other outside sites, etc.), and for Want To Buy posts. We do not monitor buys and sells. Please check out your buyer or seller before you commit to a transaction. DISCUSSIONS IN THE MAIN FORUM - SALES POSTS IN THE SUB-FORUMS.

So after some input from others I've completed my modifications and am ready to relist my issues for trade and my want list. Feel free to message me with your offers via private message. I only wish to trade at the moment but you are welcome to make cash offers for later on if I decide to sell. I will not respond to those for now but will to anyone that lists a firm price they'd pay. Keep in mind that some of these don't come up often and just because I list a value doesn't mean someone won't pay that much and it also doesn't mean someone won't pay more. Shipping is covered by both sides. I pay for shipping to you and you pay for shipping to me. If you are not serious, please don't waste my time. Because we will be providing scans of our comics for transactions, there are no returns as these are encapsulated, CGC graded comics. I can provide scans of stuff for anything that someone is interested in trading for. Some of the issues have not yet arrived from CGC but should be here soon! I have available the following CGC 9.8 Comics either in my possession or on the way from CGC available for trade to see if I can fill in some of my blanks with other 9.8s: Issue Trade Value Alias 2 CGC 9.8 $70 Alias 6 CGC 9.8 $60 Alias 7 CGC 9.8 $60 Alias 10 CGC 9.8 $100 < Very tough Alias 11 CGC 9.8 $80 Alias 12 CGC 9.8 $80 Alias 13 CGC 9.8 $80 Harbinger 12 CGC 9.8 $50 Harbinger 13 CGC 9.8 $50 Harbinger 17 CGC 9.8 $50 Harbinger 18 CGC 9.8 $50 Harbinger 19 CGC 9.8 $50 Harbinger 20 CGC 9.8 $50 Harbinger 22 CGC 9.8 $50 Harbinger 38 CGC 9.8 $90 <Tough later issues Harbinger 40 CGC 9.8 $90 <Tough later issues Rai 7 CGC 9.8 $50 Rai 9 CGC 9.8 $50 Rai 10 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 1 CGC 9.8 $110 Shadowman 2 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 6 CGC 9.8 $40 Shadowman 7 CGC 9.8 $45 Shadowman 8 CGC 9.8 $45 Shadowman 8 CGC 9.8 $45 Shadowman 8 CGC 9.8 $45 Shadowman 9 CGC 9.8 $45 Shadowman 10 CGC 9.8 $45 Shadowman 11 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 15 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 16 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 18 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 19 CGC 9.8 $50 Wolverine 21 CGC 9.8 $150 Wolverine 45 CGC 9.8 $45 Wolverine 54 CGC 9.8 $45 Wolverine 60 CGC 9.8 $45 Wolverine 66 CGC 9.8 $45 Wolverine 68 CGC 9.8 $45 Wolverine 75 CGC 9.8 $75 X-23 2010 1 CGC 9.8 $275 X-23 2010 1 CGC 9.8 $275 X-23 2010 2 CGC 9.8 $250 X-23 2010 3 CGC 9.8 $250 X-23 2010 6 CGC 9.8 $150 X-23 2010 17 CGC 9.8 $90 X-23 2010 19 CGC 9.8 $75 X-23 2010 21 CGC 9.8 $75 X-23 2010 21 CGC 9.8 $75 I am looking for these in CGC 9.8: X-23 2010 1 Del'Otto CGC 9.8 $1,400 X-23 2010 1 Djurdjevic CGC 9.8 $500 X-23 2010 4 Djurdjevic Variant CGC 9.8 $250 X-23 2010 9 Thor Variant CGC 9.8 $400 X-23 2010 20 CGC 9.8 $90 Wolverine 1988 88 CGC 9.8 (True Non-Deluxe) $450 Wolverine 1988 158 CGC 9.8 $150 Wolverine 1988 176 CGC 9.8 $150 Wolverine 1988 179 CGC 9.8 $150 Harbinger Children of the Eighth Day TPB nn Blue Variant CGC 9.8 $300 Harbinger Files 1 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai and the Future Force 16 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai and the Future Force 19 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai and the Future Force 21 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai and the Future Force 22 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai and the Future Force 23 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai 24 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai 25 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai 27 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai 29 CGC 9.8 $75 Rai TPB nn Blue Variant CGC 9.8 $400 Shadowman 0 CGC 9.8 $80 Shadowman 0 Chromium Edition CGC 9.8 $40 Shadowman 0 Gold Edition CGC 9.8 $100 Shadowman 13 CGC 9.8 $45 Shadowman 20 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 21 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 22 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 23 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 24 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 25 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 26 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 27 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 28 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 29 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 30 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 31 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 33 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 34 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 35 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 36 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 37 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 38 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 39 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 40 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 41 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 42 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman 43 CGC 9.8 $50 Shadowman Yearbook CGC 9.8 $50 SORRY FOR THE XTRA WHITESPACE.....SOMETHING ABOUT PREVIOUS COPY PASTE WONT DELETE ALL THE SPACE...I TRIED!!

Whoever came up with the idea for Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe is not approaching this correctly. Trying to cram a ton of stuff and characters with low budget looking results. Would have been better off doing a movie focused on one character or negotiating with Netflix to get something done. A bad intro to non-Valiant fans is more likely to send momentum in the wrong direction. Do it right or don't do it at all.

I sure wish you had a Harbinger 40 9.8, Harbinger Bluebird TPB 9.8 and Harbinger Files 1 9.8

I was wondering if you were aware this is the second printing of Fat Freddy's Cat #1? I only ask because it appears the rest of the books you are posting are first printings. This was one of the comix that had a lot of info. lost in the old forums (all the Freak Brothers additional printings of the #1 was probably the biggest loss). I found differences in the back covers of this series that added an additional printing that wasn't posted before, if I recall correctly. The actual first print of this was in 1976 I believe and just has "By Gilbert Shelton" as the credit on the cover. If anyone has a 9.8 candidate or super nice, please message me with asking price. I absolutely loved this comic growing up
