B-Smooth Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 you know, someplace out there is a warehouse full of 10.0 Joe #21s, which will one day be found and dumped on eBay, ala Twisted Tales #1. Doubtful. Id settle for a 9.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Smooth Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 How much does a #21 in 9.6 go for now-a-days? 250-275+ and going up steadily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Smooth Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I now own this book. Its the nicest 9.4 EVER. CGC would give it a 9.6 everyday of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jduran1 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Why is it impossible. It is not like it is a red or black cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timulty Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) Apparently it is dark enough and the color saturation deep enough, that it must show off NBCs or BCs really bad. Edited February 18, 2006 by Timulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Smooth Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 if you look at the book closely, its heavily pixelated and even the tiniest fleck of color break will show. Its obnoxious. Look at a copy under magnification and youll see what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Smooth Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 A 9.6 just sold for around $350. Last month they were averaging just over $200. The bandwagon is growing. i just hope I find a 9.8 before anyone else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfh-migration Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 The checkerboarding in the background is an artifact of reducing the scan. The second print background really looks just like the 1st print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
