It's a sick, sick, sick set of books.

"The 9.6-9.8 "Barbarian Collection"
Bill Hughes has built up what is likely the absolute best Conan collection in the entire world. Never settling for anything less than the best, he even bought doubles to upgrade page quality when the opportunity arose. If he had an off-white to white page 9.8, and found one with white pages, he'd buy that one. Now these Conan's and the rest of Bill Hughes' "Barbarian Collection" (Kull, Ka-Zar, Astonishing Tales, etc.) are available in the For Sale section of ComicLink. 195 of the 269 Conan issues just listed have been graded 9.8 by CGC (starting from issue #1). All but 5 that don't grade 9.8 grade out 9.6. As for the other titles, they were also pursued with the same red-blooded barbarian passion as the Conan issues. He even purchased X-men #10 in CGC 9.4 (1 of 4 in 9.4) and Amazing Spider-Man #57 CGC 9.6 because Ka-Zar is on the cover!"
Josh has a knack for getting other dealer's "serious" listings, doesn't he?
