Fyi:

Only three copies of this book exist (presently or likely) in CGC 9.8.

Zero owns one. Not likely to sell.

Dino owns one. Not likely to sell.

THIS ONE is the 3rd and final copy! Just saying. :wink:

Oh, so tempted, but I'm saving up for DBS Unity 1 Golden Ticket. This is a great deal guys!

There are very few of these in the census. A total of 5 have been graded as of 10 December 15. 3 were graded by Zero initially and all received 9.8s. The others were submitted by me and DBS. They did not receive 9.8s although they are solid NM books.

BTW, these books look great slabbed! Someone needs to pick this one up!

Did I get my info wrong? Did you sub the other book or did you pick it up from DBS?

Normally I would be all over this, but won't be able to do so until either some strong sales come in, or in a few months.

Someone needs to buy this. There are only so many out there in the wild, and even far fewer 9.8s.

I don't think so. I bought something else from Zero recently and I did not get that impression. I got the feeling the price of admission is going to be a market price regardless of the condition. It's one of those books where there is a floor...any copy is going to sell for it period. And I can't see why it should be any other way.

Why is that? Single source. All copies can be traced back to Zero. No one finding these in warehouses and dollar boxes and old store stock.

It's probably in Zero's best interest to destroy 2/3rds of the case...he would never do that, but you get my point.

That's what is so remarkable about the fact that he made these available to boards members. He could have easily cornered that market.

Sorry for hijacking the thread.

Long term we know more copies exist though we also know they are not in high grade..

However currently in CGC (and potentially forever in high grade)..

This book is more rare than a bloodshot platinum.
It's not that I don't have an avatar... I've just been working on it for the last few hundred years.
