I remember that All-Star 58. I'm shocked it graded that highly after I drooled on it.
Seriously, that was a sweet copy. After I pressed it, I knew you had the 9.6.
I have a nice copy, but yours was just fantastic. Congrats on the grades.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

Tough books to find in those grades.

I had all three in the same grades but sold two of them. Now I only have the Look Sharp book (my copy is below.

@Darkga - I should have either sold you this copy, or I should have sent it to Steve before I had it graded.

I remembered that you got that 9.4 on your other copy you submitted straight up, so I was pleasantly surprised by the 9.6 on this one. The press put it over the top though. You definitely should have pressed yours. In fact, if I were you, I'd gamble on a CPR for your book. You might luck out on a 9.8.
