(Almost) Complete Pre-Unity & Unity 9.8 CGC SS w/Variants!
Well.
Almost 10 years, huh...?
Then this is, I suppose, rather poetic.
Back in 2009, I was just getting into Sig Series, and went to the last NYCC to be held in Feb.
Shooter was there, and so was JJ.
I got 4 Harby #1s signed, and got 3 9.8s. I sold all of those over the years. Needed the $. One of those copies just recently sold again.
Ever since then, I wanted to get a complete 9.8 pre-Unity and Unity 9.8 set signed by Shooter and Layton.
Finally, earlier this year, for the first time, I had the opportunity. Layton was at Indy Comicon, and Shooter was at Silicon Valley Comicon the next week. So, I went through my boxes, and gathered my books.
I'm missing Solar #10 (no shock there) and Harbinger #3, of all books.
Here, then, is what I got:
