Four hours left for a 9.9 Deathmate, going really cheap at the moment.

Has anyone ever figured out where all the above-9.8 copies of this came from? I got the first two back from and then the flood gates opened. Where were they? I bought my copies from a CGC board member - never asked where he got them from.

I aquired a ton of these about 8 or 9 years ago and sold them off in bulk back about 5 ot 6 years ago. I am not saying that all of these came from me. But the copies I sold were mint. I finally sold the last 10 of them to Showcase NE last year along with a ton of other Valiants.

Just a guess.

I assume the copies you acquired were never inserted into the Ultra Pro page packets?

No they weren't. At least I don;t think so. I got them from TBS comics in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. I was buying some of their Valiants in the bargain bin and the owner asked me if I wanted them. She went back in the back and brought out the box from the back. There were 100 to 120 copies in there from what I can remember. I don't know where she got them from.

No they weren't.

Makes sense... the ones that came from inserts or other packaging probably didn't survive in 9.8+ very often.

I have a pretty low bid on it just for sheats and giggles. Im glad I saw this as I was going to bid high, but now I dont want it nearly as bad

Apparently I have been outbid for this.

I haven't actually bid nor was I even signed in but I am kinda disappointed now.

I think I may have really wanted this and not even known it.

Maybe my computer wants it.

What if ebay wants it and they are too cheap to pay the outbid screen to go away.

I confuse myself sometimes.

Only $52 + S&H for a CGC 9.9

Simply stunning, not for the comic but for the grade.

I believe COMICKings has had 4 10.0 ebay sales in the past 6 months or so (not including some 9.9 and 9.8). It appears he is sitting on a stock as well.
