This shows how hard this book is to get in high grade. Took me forever to find one. FYI, I did not bid on this.

I wonder how much it would take to get all 18 Unity chapters in 9.8?

There are all sorts of super crazy Valiant prices recently. Mostly VEI variants (look up the 1:50 variants of Harbinger 25 and A&A 25). And the 1:20 of A&A 1% that's still ongoing.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I think, what you have here, are collectors starting to squeeze in and gobble up what they can. Take a peek at the 1% book and its auction. Could end considerably high!

Was able to obtain (no small feat) a CGC 9.8 Signature Series copy of this book signed by Frank Miller for my PC. :D

I have about 4 copies of each on the Unity chapters, never been read and just recently taken out out the original plastic they came in. I only just transferred them to bags and boards. I'd be really surprised if they weren't 9.6 or 9.8. I might have to look at getting them graded.

Funny, this list corresponds exactly with how difficult it was for me to pull 9.8s.

I have ~100 untouched unread copies of Harbinger 8. Not one of them is a 9.8. The 9.8 in the master set was purchased already graded.

I had that same experience, but not quite 100. When I bought that untouched dealer stock years ago, I had dozens of copies of Unity books, along with other sources. I never was able to grade a Harbinger 8 on my own. If I recall, same with Magnus 15.

These days, I pretty much slab any non-prestige VEI book I can find. These books are so darn difficult to get in 9.8. It's killing my budget, but I don't foresee many of these happening in the future.
