Rai #5 CGC 9.8, just picked this up

I have been looking for a copy for a while and haven't seen it at this level before. SNE has one currently up for $375 BIN and others I've seen ended at around $250 (or more).

So yeah, I am happy with this since it's a tough copy (only 21 in the pop).

Wow didn't realize they were that low on the census. I've submitted a batch of 50 books for pre-screening. If I remembered right, a Rai #5 was in the pile. Let's hope I hear the good word from CGC.... :hope:

I think you're right.

There's a CGC 9.0 that just went up.

I'm stunned this did not show up in the search results I get by email. I would have made you pay more. I got an offer I couldn't refuse for the one that was in in my registry set and I've been thinking now is the time to get a replacement.

I think I got it before the daily email went out. I hit the BIN 12 hours after it was listed.

Maybe Escaflown can get you a replacement.

:!: Oh, it was a BIN! I thought an auction went for a week and ended at that price. Now it all makes sense. Don't mind me - a bit slow today. :)

Thats a good price, if the guy had more I think he could get that price all day long. Quite a few people still need this one. :thumb:

IMO that's a tough get...that black cover is really difficult to find that pristine...the issue itself is relatively easy to find, but not in grade
