https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/173311417601 ... 675.l10137" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

ended at $1527

only 107 Universal grade in Census

Harbinger #1 9.8 is 257 universal grade obvious difference

So has this shifted as THE BOOK to get in 9.8 Pre-Unity?

Has the book been this expensive for sometime? I thought it was going for around $700? Either way I’m glad I have a copy.

Part of the higher price is probably due to the fact that there has been a 10-week gap since a copy was available for sale. Lots of copies were available in the last half of 2017... just three in 2018 and none since mid-February.

Thanks! That is some pent up demand. It really makes a 9.6 a hell of a deal.

It has been 20 hours and I am still confused, but I want to say the word "desk" could be changed to "deal" and this post just might work.

I still keep checking ebay every so often for a raw 9.8 contender. Gotten lots of copies. Three graded 9.6 (one could have potentially gotten 9.8). The others I'm certain won't get even 9.6 so I'm not going to bother getting them graded. But I did sell my PGX 9.8 copy for right around $350 a few months back!

LOL! Amazing. Bought mine for $475 from a board member, which was a lot at the time, I thought.

I sold a 9.6 3 years ago for $128. Seems like a bargain now.

It's a shame that back in the day I never picked up a 9.6 or 9.8 Solar 10.... facepalm
