GRAILS GAME

[comicdonna]

Welcome to the boards!

A nice idea for a game with prizes!

My closest book seems to be about 100,000,000 off.

Maybe next time.

I was hoping this would go the distance but it looks like we may already have a winner. To be fair though, I will keep the posted deadline just in case someone gets ONE number closer! I think the next number I am posting will be won even quicker since its fresh from the NY Con. In the event of a tie, (one number above and below mine) I will honor both winners and whoever posts a photo or scan of their book first has first choice.

How about 0016658020? I think that's pretty close.

 

Only two numbers out

 

I'm thinking you have your books in a database on serial #s as well

True. The search function made it pretty easy.

 

And it turns out I have another book from the same invoice. It's a small world, I guess.

Thanks, and the lottery isn't over yet, I will add one more serial soon.

How would an old label Surfer #1 be on the same invoice as a new label Sig Series?

It wouldn't be (I think). It was probably another submission slip sent in the same time by the same submitter. I assume Ghost Town bought the book from Grails at one point (or vice versa). Or somehow they acquired their books from the same seller.

 

Now that I think of it, the # given by Grails isn't a SS book. What is it Grails?

Ghost Town said he has another book on the same invoice with his Silver Surfer 1 not Grails book. Plus how do you know the serial number that he gave is a new label SS

Probably an old serial number too.

 

Amazing Spider-Man 25, 0016658001, 9.6

Avengers 23, 0016658008, 9.6

Incredible Hulk 102, 0016658015, 9.6

0016658018

Silver Surfer 1, 0016658020, 9.4

Silver Surfer 5, 0016658023, 9.6

I have 0034866002 superman family 165

[Ghost Town]

It's not. The new label Sig Series book is from a different invoice. Look at the scan in the first post in this thread.

Serial number differs by 0000000002!

 

Great book, too, GT.

[Mr. Zipper]

Dumb mistake... I should learn to read. I was thinking the serial number Grails gave was the number from the DD SS slab.

 

Knowing that Ghost Town will win, I can't help but feel like a cab driver learning that Donald Trump has won the lottery.

[Guest]

The serial number I provided for this lottery no longer exists. It was cracked out of the slab. This was the book though in case you're wondering.

Why would any sane person crack that book out.....when reader copies are plentiful? Eyes towards a 9.9?

 

Zipper....I've got to agree with you....trying to get a number close to a 9.8 like that means you've got a few other 9.8's laying around from the same submission....

 

The wheels were off the cart before you even pulled it out of the shed.

 

A random mid grade submission from an unknown source...and I'm in....

[Guest]

That's a good question comicdey and the answer to that kicks off our next game. Here is the new serial for the lottery. 0078629001.

 

[Guest]

Keep in mind gents, as I am sure we will have a near exact match on this one within 24 hours, that all prizes still go out on the last day of this month. GT also has the first choice. And just to be clear, the IM book is not a prize. That's the number you need to come close to matching.

Wow, that was brave. The slightest mishandling could have destroyed that 9.8 grade. Nice book! Beyonder really needs to be here for this.

 

My days of going for a 9.8 Iron Man #1 are either in the past or in the future, but definately not in the present
