My first 9.9 and it's a BIG ONE!

nycjadie · Post by **nycjadie** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 6:34 pm

Honestly, I can't remember where I got this book. A few months back, I gathered all my Rai 0s, and I pulled my best two glossies. I put the better one in my raw "bests." The 2nd best I sent to CGC. Just got back the results that shipped today and I got my first 9.9 that I submitted directly (assuming this isn't actually an error). I know there are a few other Rai 0 9.9s, but I'm not sure which ones are glossy vs. matte.

RAI 0 GLOSSY 9.9

I also FINALLY got a Rai 27 9.8, and Mirage 4 & 8! Been trying to get those commons for some time.

Added 10 Acclaim books in 9.8!

Wow, Steve--it inspires covetousness (Old Testamently speaking): congratulations! To echo BTE: which Acclaims didja get?

10 ack-lames!!

I think the acclaims might be more impressive than the 9.9!

Nice, I still need a Rai 0 Glossy in 9.8 or better. I have a Divinity II 1 1:80 at CGC, hoping it comes back a 9.9 to go with my Divinity 1 1:40

I've got a Divinity II 1:40 at cgc too. It looked to be a 9.8 to me so I'll see! Also have X-O Manowar 4 and three copies of Eternal Warrior 4. Next up will be a Harbinger 1 and some Solar 10s but those will be getting pressed first.

You know, I wish I could say it was from that pile, but it wasn't. It was in my box of extra keys. A surprise buy from one of the many Valiant collections I purchased here in the Bay Area!

That's awesome! Congrats. I sometimes wish I had kept the one I bought but I sold it to help fund my purchase of Avengers 57.

nycjadie · Post by **nycjadie** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 4:02 pm

Avengers 57 is a solid book, and one that I do not have. I think of all the old silver runs I have, I'm most likely to complete Avengers up through 100. I got issue 1 in a crazy collection I bought last year, found unbagged in a lot. However, 57 is going to set me back unless I get extremely lucky.

I bought a CGC 9.2 a couple of years ago before prices skyrocketed. It's one of my all-time favorite covers.
