I was one of the plurality that thought it must be ASM 300 9.4.  I wouldn't have thought that Spawn #1 would have had enough fans to get that number slabbed.  But it turns out that a majority of Spawn #1's were 9.8's whereas most other comics have a much bigger spread of scores.  Interesting thread.

Oh and wondering where you got your numbers from since they don't match up exactly with the numbers on http://cgcdata.com/cgc/cgctop/.  Were you just counting universal instead of universal and signature?

This is the key. The grades of all the other books were spread out but Spawn #1 had concentration in 9.8 .

Yes, I was separating blue from yellow to see what label is most common.

Correct, overall, Spawn #1 is 9th most submitted, but the concentration of 9.8s makes it #1 in label and grade combination.

It's pretty simple...

Make a list of books everyone already owns or they could easily find for under $10.

Now, for however many books are on that list, find the book that sells for the most money in CGC 9.8.

Submit that book.

But how many of those 9.8 Spawn #1s have a red modern label? 

About 216 would have had the red modern label... so it's still #1 if you remove those as "not being a blue 9.8 label".
