Re: RE: Selling the rarest CGC 9.8 Old Valiant released book on eBay!
For someone who was supposed to know everything about this stuff it was really just ignorance. I assumed it was equivalent to the other variants and when I saw there were no 9.8s in the census I used the other variants to decide whether or not to slab it. Given the existence of 9.9's for some of the others and the prices they were going for it just didn't seem worth it.
I didn't remember exactly where I had gotten it and that everyone else's copy had been bound into previews.
Basically I screwed up. Good for you on spotting it.

Re: RE: Selling the rarest CGC 9.8 Old Valiant released book on eBay!
My best recollection is that it was in a group of other books and was not anything specific I purchased. Now I did buy stuff from people who were very close to valiant and the valiant publishing process. So you never know.

I was the under bidder with a snipe at $2,222. Figured it would be high enough as it was sitting at 210. Problem with time set auctions on big items as they don’t allow for continued bidding like Heritage or ComicConnect
Anyone here win this book?
I did get the two deathmate greens, Deathmate epilogue and two X-O manowar books.

The buyer said he wasn't on the boards. Just a Valiant fan!

I tried and would have gone higher. I hate that eBay doesn’t extend an auction by X seconds, it’s the fastest sniper!

I assume you were the bidder just under me.
Having sat around $200 we likely all thought our snipes would have been more than enough. Had the book been at a live auction where time is extended with bids I think it would have gone for considerably higher as it is likely to be the lone copy ever in 9.8 for us completists

Indeed. I bid higher than any slab I ever bought. But, that last minute bid don’t go through. No regrets though. It is a comic.
I do think eBay missed the mark by not being more like a regular auction house. It probably would have made more for
Itself and it’s customers.

I feel for you, CKB. My equivalent is selling my AF15 about 10-15 years too early!
