Oh wow! I missed that one. I think it was a real miss to not describe that properly in the title. I would have paid handsomely for it. That should have been a four figure book.

I didn't see it, that's for sure.
Who won, and more importantly, who are the other bidders that saw it and didn't bother bidding above $100?

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
That should have been a lesson for people on eBay, all he had to do is put the word Valiant in the title and I would have seen it. That normally how I search, Valiant CGC 9.8.
I am not sure if it is a 4 figure book, but it should have gone for at least $400.
I bought my raw for $150 as a buy it now. It is a solid 9.6 if I was to grade it, would have been nice to of gotten this book.

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
It may be worth noting that Ebay has done some changes that broke sniping software.
Not saying that happened here, since none of us even saw the auction... but if someone did set a snipe, it probably didn't fire.

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
Why feeBay is trying to make sniping more difficult is beyond me. I would think they would encourage it. Only 1 of the sniping sites I use is working properly right now so that might have something to do with some auction results we are seeing.
On the other hand I am not sure how much interest there is in CGC 9.8 VVSS books. I didn’t see this Eternal Warrior auction and would have bid more but last week I picked up a 9.8 VVSS Armorines 1 for $100.

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
I know CKB sold a 9.6 a year ago for $300. There is only 1 9.8 on the census, presumably this one. I would have paid 4 figures for it. I had four figure offers for my Harbinger TPB 2nd print, which I traded for a Cary Nord painted cover.
Refardless, the seller missed an opportunity for certain.

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
BTW, my anecdotal experience was this was the hardest Valiant book for me to find outside of the X-O Iron Man preview book. It took me years. I buy them whenever I can. They are great trade fodder.

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
Assuming the seller knew it was the only 9.8, you think they would have put it up for a buy it now to control the total amount.

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
I don’t doubt it went cheap but I don’t think at auction you would have had to pay close to 4 figures for it as in that range you likely would only be bidding against yourself. I see this as maybe a $250-400 book. It is quite niche (I like collecting niche things - it is easier on the wallet).

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
The 90s Harbinger TPB went to a 2nd print. There is no outward indication on the cover between first and second prints - the second print was not polybagged with the Harbinger 0 blue cover, so it looks just like an opened first print. On the first page it is clearly marked SECOND PRINT.syzhang28 wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 8:16:53 pmWhat is a Harbinger TPB 2nd print?nycjadie wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 1:21:21 pm I know CKB sold a 9.6 a year ago for $300.

It was me. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was with this. I just received it today and was waiting for a safe arrival before posting anything.

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
Whew! Glad it went to someone on the board and another old timer too lol
That is an amazing pick up and i think BTE is right should be a 4 figure book -
Geo please tell me your top bid was more than $300 so I can sleep better on missing this

Re: Who won the EW 27 9.8 VVSS?
I won't say what my max bid was but I'll say that I was bidding to win it given my perceived rarity of a 9.8 EW 27 VVSS but I also believe I would have been outbid if any of at least 3 other Valiant collectors had been bidding on the same auction.battlepark wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 10:11:31 am out of curiosity what was your max bid?
