Wolverine #1 Cgc Mint 9.9 White Pages

  
Feast your eyes on this puppy. The second best existing copy of Wolverine #1. We know a ridiculous 10.0 exists but there's NO WAY that copy has anything over this absolutely PERFECT Mint 9.9. This unrivaled comic book has snow white pages, insane cover gloss, unreal color strike, PERFECT corners and edges and the nicest spine you will ever see. Plus, the centering and registration are PERFECT! Yes, there are 12 other blue label 9.9's in the world but we doubt they compare to this one. Features the first Wolverine as Patch plus a great Wolverine pin-up by John Byrne on the back cover. With the success and critical acclaim of the current "Logan" motion picture, look for this comic book to soar.

From the Professor Pecora Collection. From Pedigree Comics who previously owned. Wolverine #1 showcases the 1st Wolverine as Patch! After a successful four part miniseries published from September-December of 1982, it took a little over 6 years before Wolverine was honored with his ongoing solo title apart from the X-Men! Published in November of 1988, right around the time of Halloween, not only does the dark imagery perfectly display the raw savagery of Wolverine, but it was very fitting that the Wolverine logo was inked in orange for superior marketing.

The cover art drawn by the late John Buscema is a certified classic! A victorious Wolverine is featured standing on a pile of dead bodies with his shirt torn off his muscular physique and his pants slashed open, while his razor sharp claws are being ejected from his forearms with a full moon lighting up the midnight sky! In addition, the full-length Wolverine back cover pin-up drawn by the legendary John Byrne is awesome! Officially graded in June of 2016, my copy became the 13th CGC Universal 9.9 in existence!

This is of MAJOR SIGNIFICANCE because prior to my copy being added to the CGC Census, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANOTHER WOLVERINE #1 CGC UNIVERSAL 9.9 GRADED IN OVER 5 YEARS!! So just how rare is this book? Well according to the CGC Census Report as of April 4, 2017, there are a whopping total of 7,243 copies graded to date! Out of those 7,243 copies, only 13 were blessed with the Universal 9.9 grade (with only 1 copy graded higher), which means that this copy represents 1/10 of 1% or 0.001% (one-thousandth percent) of the total population! The next question one might ask ishow much is it worth?

With over 7,240 copies already professionally graded and being a dark cover in which the smallest of defects are detectable, its highly unlikely that another 10.0 copy will emerge, let alone another 9.9 anytime soon (possibly NEVER)! Therefore, this book will definitely command a pretty penny! As a matter of fact, this CGC 9.9 white-paged specimen may very well be the finest known 9.9 copy in existence! It is PERFECTLY wrapped, cut and centered with perfectly inserted staples and a drum-tight spine!

The color saturation is deep and vivid and looks like it was printed yesterday! Not even the single 10.0 copy is perfectly cut and wrapped like this pristine beauty! Furthermore, if you compare this copy to other CGC 9.9 examples, you will see that it is more perfectly wrapped and centered and displays superior aesthetic qualities!

This specific copy of Wolverine #1 CGC 9.9 W; a world class example of one of the most significant issues to emerge from the Copper Age of Comics will shine brightly in any CGC collection of the most discerning collectors!
