Has or does anyone pre-order new releases stabbed at a 9.8 grade? I know beachbum comics may offer this service....not sure of the details. Are there others out there offering this service?

Stabbed no. Slabbed 9.8, yes, but only for 1-2 absolute favorites. Personally, I find it a lot cheaper to subscribe to Beachbum's service than pay for:

Raw 9.8 Candidates: ~$10-20
Proper Packaging: $5-10
Shipping: $20
Grading: $18 (Modern)
Return Shipping: $23

Alas, average condition at my LCS is 9.4. Sometimes I'd get 9.8 but then there are occasions when all available copies of one specific issue are 9.0-9.2.

Take note though, Beachbum only offers the 9.8 sub to collectors. He'll cancel your sub if he sees the slabs getting flipped on ebay.

Every once in a while Dynamic Forces will offer a 9.8 slabbed book. A while back they offered Death of Wolverine #1 CGC 9.8

Unknown Comics has started offering CBCS grading on their exclusive covers. Those tend to sell out quickly.

Yes, not looking to "stab" my books. Autocorrect fail.

I'm not looking to flip. Only looking for a couple books the next few months...waiting for a response from beachbum as to what the details are.

Has anyone else seen this? This was on FaceBook. Thoughts? "Special CBCS label" reminds me of CGC's Stan Lee label. Or the TMNT labels. I wonder what it will look like. I personally really would like to get one if I can afford it. I don't buy many moderns, especially variants, but I just might pick this up for the PC.

That is a sick cover!!! Can I ask who is offering the special label? I also doubt I can afford it, but it's fun to dream!!

@Jesse_O yes it is very cool. I like it a lot. I rarely if ever get into the modern variant craze but I like the character so much and I'm interested in what the label will look like. I would buy one for the collection, not to flip it. I'll PM you where I saw it.

I'm glad I have no interest in that character. Curious what the "special label" will look like though.

Is there a direct link to this 9.8 offer? I've searched the websites given and did not see it.

Ironically the new iron fist series is what I wanted to get a 9.8 copy of and why I started this thread. At $250 I'll pass on the special cbcs version....but now I want the 3000 limited edition version....will have to look into the price and how to order it as I'm sure I'm not near any of those shops.

I'd pay that if we're 9.8 signed yellow label. But not for a standard 9.8.

Where in the world did a $250 price tag come from? I haven't seen that stated. The 9.8 graded special edition is limited to 250 copies.

It was in the comments section in the link you provided above...someone said they had asked someone and said the answer they got was $249..so I guess it's not confirmed by any of the sites selling it that is the cost

Regarding the Dell'otto Iron Fist #1 - this is a variant from The Comic Mint. It is not listed for sale yet. It's my understanding that it will go up for sale on Sunday the 19th.
