I don't even pretend to know that much about comics but how can even a cgc 9.8 go for that price?

Hey! Good luck John! Thanks for breakin the seal so to speak.

Dan, yes this is the book I got from you awhile back. I'd love to keep it but I need some cash at the moment and one trip to the post office is way better than 20 little trips if you know what I mean.

Supply and demand my friend. There are 2500 total of these books known, and only 4 at this grade. Although opinions vary there probably aren't a lot more around anywhere. So if a collector is hoping to finish off a 9.8 run or even have all the keys at 9.8, this auction will be your ONLY chance for a LOOONG time.

If he hangs around here long enough..... he'll learn.

Fairly rare book coupled with certified, ultra-high grade = big $.

so lets say in fairy tale land i happen to have a bloodshot platinum graded a 9.8. That would obviously go for alot of money. What would any of you pay for it if you had the money.

If I remember correctly theres already one of those in existance. I personnally wouldn't buy the book because Bloodshot was not a faorite character of mine (ducking behind desk.....) I'm sure a book like that would bring a grand easily enough.

one can only imagine what a 10 would bring

There's (I believe) 2 CGC9.8s out there. I've got 1 & the other sold for a little over $2,000 on e-bay a couple years ago.

Funny thing these key 9.8s...it seems that the first one to hit the market is the only one that will ever turn up...then a second turns up....then a couple more...all the time they keep getting rarer and rarer and more hyped and more hyped...I simply dont believe that these books are $1000 books in grade, but folks seem more than willing to drop the coin on them...

Can Someone help me? I am in possesion a 'Chaos Effect' alpha red in near mint condition is this worth what you say i spent 50p on it in a book depot today is it a reprintor something?

Rubiks-Q-Bert · Post by **Rubiks-Q-Bert** » Sat Apr 29, 2006 4:02 pm

What does 50 pence convert into in dollars? And no it is not a reprint. It is a variant.

I think a pence is like 5 pennies (or something to that effect). If that's the case the guy made a great purchase.
