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
You would be hard pressed to find a full set of Albedo (including all printings) in high grade.

Issue two alone would cost you several thousand dollars.

Charlton “Underdog” #1 is not easy to find in high grade for a few reasons. For one, I’ve heard these were produced with Poor paper quality. No surprise, with Charlton’s Poor overall production standards.

Plus, the target audience was grade school kids. There’s Just less of a chance a little kid would have taken good care of it at the time.

You are dead on about Charlton Underdog 1, Slim! I have a complete set and the best issue 1 I could turn up is in the Fine range. Actually all of these issues are pretty hard to find at all, and especially in high grade. Early 70s Charltons are under rated IMO. I also have sets of Dudley Do Right and Bullwinkle and Rocky. The Underdog is the most significant, naturally, since the Charlton 1st issue is the first comic book appearance.

I have a VG/VG+ #1 that was gifted to me by a generous member here. I’m always looking for a VF or better copy. I’ve been looking for a long time, and I’m still looking.

5 graded 9.8. Nearly 200 graded 9.2 and up. So people aren't selling, but they're out there....somewhere.

Prize Comics #20

There's one 9.4 copy (Church/Mile High); then it almost falls off the census chart. I was offered the 9.4 copy over a year ago, but the high five figure price tag was just too much for a rare title without a sufficient fan base of collectors supporting it. That said, it's one beautiful book sporting top notch GA cover art.
