I sold my slabbed 4.0 earlier this year - regrets, but I just got another raw copy. Light stain on the cover but otherwise nice colors and eye appeal. Please enter my subscription to the club !!!

You should've. It went for quite cheap, to a boardie.
Hopefully I'll find a nice 5.0+ at the SDCC this year.I really want to be in this club

After realization that both aman and I are suffering from advancing Alzheimer's, we realized there was no 9.2 and what we were talking about was a 9.0 copy (which is the highest grade given by CGC to date).
Here's the Sid's Luncheonette copy. The cover went kinda opaque on me quite soon after i bought it. It's one of the few that ever did that and I have no reason as to why.
the Boards voted this a 3.5 in a Poll last year...
anyone remember what the 9.0s sold for? I barely remember what I had for lunch!
Tim & aman,
I agree on the 9.0. It is the highest graded. Unless it sold recently, I believe it went for $20k and some change awhile back.
thanx. 20K isnt so bad, especially if it stays top copy and no 9.4 or even 9.2 appears. Its a super tough HG book, but if I were a betting man, I say there IS a copy out there waiting in a mylar. We've seen nearly every other comic show up, why not Showcase 22?
