(Almost) Complete Pre-Unity & Unity 9.8 CGC SS w/Variants!

Post by ZephyrWasHOT!! »

Well.

Almost 10 years, huh...?

Then this is, I suppose, rather poetic.

Back in 2009, I was just getting into Sig Series, and went to the last NYCC to be held in Feb.

Shooter was there, and so was JJ.

I got 4 Harby #1s signed, and got 3 9.8s. I sold all of those over the years. Needed the $. One of those copies just recently sold again.

Ever since then, I wanted to get a complete 9.8 pre-Unity and Unity 9.8 set signed by Shooter and Layton.

Finally, earlier this year, for the first time, I had the opportunity. Layton was at Indy Comicon, and Shooter was at Silicon Valley Comicon the next week. So, I went through my boxes, and gathered my books.

I'm missing Solar #10 (no shock there) and Harbinger #3, of all books.

Here, then, is what I got:

Most impressed with the archer and Armstrong golds and the harbinger 8’s!
