I bet that VH1 A&A #0 GOLD CGC 9.8 Signature Series would pull a decent price.

Well written article, but must mention that the 9.9 Magnus 0 sold for more than most of these...

EDIT, finally found it, $2K

I wonder if Greg can add that sale to the CGC sales records page. It currently shows the last sale in 2006 for $500. :hm:

Yes... we can verify that sale did occur, so I have added it by hand.

I won't be doing that for every sale on the board, but "grail" issues do deserve to be recorded when they sell here.

Just FYI... the Golden Tickets don't have 8. next to them (being #8 on your list).

Do you own it now? I will enter the sale in the records, if you want to say when and cost.

Sorry Magnus, while reviewing sales data I didn't see this sale, so the $500 is what I went from. Anyone have a pic of the slab?

Might add a note. :)

Nice. It's pretty cool to be listed in a Valiant top 10 list :headbang:

I wonder what my 9.9 Archer 1 1:20 Variant would be worth now. I think it's the only 9.9 Archer issue, and the highest graded (with a variant, no less). Not a key issue like Rai 0, but a nice #1 issue, nonetheless.

Might make another list for VEI before long; you should shoot me a pic via PM. :)

Yeah, the history on the Magnus 9.9 book is that I bought it with a BIN of $500 off E-bay. I sold it to *SQUEE* for $2,000. Apparently he sold it later to Rico for $1,500. The image of it is in my gallery. :thumb:

Also, I think there's an argument to be made for this book:

Image

Past sales don't tell the whole story. Lack of sales data history does not speak to what something *might* sell for it did come available on the open market. I think there are a lot of examples of one-of-a-kind books that are difficult to value. Look at those gold proof Solar books from Jay Jay. :thumb:

Hey, lol, I'm trying to keep that one on the down-low before someone bids me into the $1,000's for no good reason! lol!

I agree, and might like to discuss with you your thoughts on potential super-books.
