Yea... I bought that one before I even saw the 1:40.

I picked up a #1 1:40 a couple of days ago on Ebay for $24.99.

Thanks Brian! Now let's see what kind of condition it shows up in. Lol

Hard to say really. The 1st Unity #1 3-D Variant sold for like $350 or something raw via Bleeding Cool's eBay auction; I won't even get into what I paid for my Unity #1 Golden Ticket... (Likely THE current VEI record though).

Any SUPER rare/HTF/High-Grade VEI issue is likely already deep in the icy-grip of a collector with ZERO intention to sell.

Harbinger #8 Lemire 1:125 Line Variant CGC 9.8
Shadowman #1 Gold CGC 9.8
Unity #1 Gold CGC 9.8
X-O Manowar #1 QR 1:50 Variant CGC 9.8
Shadowman #5 Grampa 1:125 Line Variant CGC 9.8
Eternal Warrior #5 Mack 1:50 Variant CGC 9.8

Are all possible candidates for the title.

Y'know, not to brag (no, seriously), I just happened to click back a couple of pages when I read your post and realized that (with the exception of the SM #5 Grampa...since there still isn't one), I sold CGC 9.8 copies of every single one of those SUPER rare/HTF VEI books to exactly one very lucky collector here...and four of those six to another fellow boardie

Yeah, how did I miss that?

1A seems to be losing a little steam. I see some listed at $20.

Holy mackerel!

The slabs are showing up!

JCP · Post by **JCP** » Sat Jun 20, 2015 8:15 pm

I bought my 1:40 from Midtown for about $20 when it first was released. I need to slab it pronto. Oh my dear I'm glad I got it and on the cheap.

Now I'm hoping The Valiant #4 1:40 does the same once Book of Death is released.

Two divinity #1 9.8 slabs were just up on eBay. I had a bid on one and figured I would snag the other if I lost (it was BIN). And then the traumas starting rolling in and I got swamped at work. Lost out on both.

There will be more. Trust me.

Update: Two 9.8 1a sold on Ebay (not mine), each around $130.

130 is not too bad

Anybody notice that the Divinity #1 1:40 Larosa in CGC 9.8 with a BIN price of $649 (I think that was the price) on eBay has sold? Not sure if it sold for that amount -- the seller may have accepted a lower offer -- but that's a pretty significant sale if it happened.

The seller ended the listing because it is no longer available, so I am not sure if it actually sold or not.

I was thinking that meant they probably took an offer on it even if they didn't have the "Make an Offer" option enabled on the listing. Or maybe they took it down after it didn't immediately sell so it wasn't lingering around on there looking overpriced. It'd be nice to know if it's a confirmed sale or not.

Wow, someone scored a 9.9 on the 1:40

That is a grail! I haven't seen a CBCS 9.9 in the flesh, but I think that market is untested. If it was CGC, I'd feel much more confident (not at that price, though).

mkb28 · Post by **mkb28** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 6:12 pm

Seems like CBCS is even stricter with their grades, so that one maybe a 10.0 at CGC!

Owning a 9.9 would be pretty awesome.

Dr Noel · Post by **Dr Noel** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 7:09 pm

That brings up an interesting point. I haven't made the CBCS plunge either because I'm not sure about their longevity. It sounds like they're pretty strict in their grading, but a new company is always on shaky ground. I've seen some great slabs show up from them, but never buy since I don't want to have a PGX type book a year from now (bad comparison, I know, but you get the point). I'd like to hear everyone else's opinion...

Dr Noel · Post by **Dr Noel** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 7:10 pm

And a 9.9 in that book would definitely be nice.

Especially next to my 9.8...

nycjadie · Post by **nycjadie** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 7:36 pm

I haven't witnessed that CBCS is stricter on grading. I'd want consistent first-hand knowledge of that before investing in a CBCS 9.9, personally. Others have had that experience, but I have not. My Nintendo CBCS slabs in 9.8, in my opinion, would not slab in 9.8 or 9.6 at CGC. This is based on my experience with screening those books at CGC. The creasing on the fold on the early thicker binding on the early Nintendo books is very hard to get in high grade, and I think CBCS inflated those books, in the slabs I've seen.

Has anybody ever seen a copy of Divinity 1 that wasn't in pristine condition? VEI really nailed it with the cardstock on that book.

nycjadie · Post by **nycjadie** » Tue Jul 14, 2015 12:46 pm

I can't find a Variant 4 that doesn't have a bad middle spine crease. I had the same problem with The Valiant 4 1:50. It's an amazing cover, but it does scratch easily and once you get a crease, you're screwed.
