The 30 cent price variant issue is of X-Men 99 is rare enough but ultra-high-grade copies of X-Men 99 are impossible because of the total black cover. This issue is as nice as they come and is currently tied with two others as highest certified, although it is hard to imagine that this variant issue comes any nicer than this one.

ComicLink Comments:
This CGC solid Near Mint CGC 9.4 PRICE VARIANT is the highest graded, and is 1 of only 3 that CGC has ever certified at this top tier. Additionally, CGC has assigned its perfect page quality designation of White Pages, making this Price Variant the very finest example obtainable for this issue.
For the three X-Men 30 cent price variants, the highest grades are
Issue 98 9.6 (two copies)
Issue 99 9.4 (three copies)
Issue 100 9.6 (two copies).
I figure that the cost today if you could purchase the highest copy of each issue is around $10,000 for the set. It is only speculation, as the auction that contained all three of those books is gonna be a long time coming.

Finding a Needle in a Haystack Marvel Price Variant Style
Even though the Marvel Price Variants are very sought after, and even though they always bring strong prices, there are still unknowledgeable sellers out there, particularly on ebay who don't know what they have when they list something for sale.
Here is a case in point. The Marvel Reprint Titles like Marvel Tales and Marvel Super-Heroes are some of the toughest to find. Low sales and collector interest whene they were released led to very few being saved. Even today they are many more Incredible Hulk series collectors than there are for the Marvel Super-Heroes title which reprinted the Hulk stories. But two of the issues were issued as 35 cent price variant issues and are among the toughest to find. Recently an ebay seller listed this book correctly as Marvel Super-Heroes 65 but forgot or didn't know to mention that book was a 35 cent price variant. It was found by the best ebay variant hunter in the business and purchased for $8. After he received the book from the seller, he immediately relisted the book correctly on ebay and it brought $91 at auction. Yes, $91 for a book in Good condition.
The moral of the story? Sometimes if you look hard enough, you can find the needle in the haystack.

List of highest graded 30 cent Marvel Price Variants
Here is a handy list of the highest graded Marvel 30 cent Price Variants. I find it very useful as a quick reference. Books bolded in red are the ones where no copy is graded as high as NM-. Books bolded in blue are the issues found in 9.8. Champions, Ka-Zar, and Super-Villian Team-Up series are the only series that are complete in 9.8. Kull, the Destroyer is also available in 9.8, but it is a one book price 30 cent price variant series.

Price Variants and Marvel Value Stamps
A CGC board member asked me a good question the other day. "Oh! I also meant to ask you about the value stamps. Some issues have them and some don't, correct? Have you seen many issues missing them? Is that generally a concern or not really?" I have had a couple of books that had the Marvel Value Stamp cut out of them. It is a good question worthy of a good response.
The series A stamps are all in issues published before the 30 centers came out.
However, here are the fifty 30 cent variant issues that have the series B MVS in them. I must admit that I only know of a small number of variant books that have them cut out, but they are out there.

All about Marvel Value Stamps
Despite the fact that many a Hulk 181 was butchered for a MVS, I happen to love these things. Here is my stamp book.
Also, my friend, boardie Stronguy, did the coolest sketch project you will ever see and it is MVS based. Here is the link.

The series A stamps are all in issues published before the 30 centers came out.
However, here are the fifty 30 cent variant issues that have the series B MVS in them. I must admit that I only know of a small number of variant books that have them cut out, but they are out there.

Iron Fist 15 on ebay
This copy of the 35 cent price variant issue of Iron Fist 15 sold on ebay for $275. The transaction was a Buy-It-Now offer. Iron Fist price variant books remain some of the most sought after issues and always bring strong prices when they become available.
Kid Colt 206 on ebay
A decent copy of Kid Colt 206 was listed on ebay and sold as a Buy-It-Now for $255. For several years now, the secret has been out that western price variants are actively collected and bring the bucks. A regular edition of this book in this condition would be lucky to fetch a buck.

Another sensational Star Wars 1 CGC 9.6 35 cent variant auction
The second CGC certified 9.6 copy of a Star Wars 1 35 cent price variant was sold for $21,805 in the June ComicLink auction. This is the second sale of a 35 cent variant to break the $20,000 barrier (the first was also a Star Wars 1 CGC 9.6 in a ComicLink auction. This is about 170 times the going rate for a regular edition in the same grade.
I can only speculate, but I would expect a 9.8 copy of this book, if one ever shows up, to fetch between $40,000 to $50,000.
Here is the ComicLink write-up on the book:
STAR WARS #1
Section: For Sale / Golden, Silver and Bronze Age Comic Books / Marvel, Timely and Atlas / STAR WARS
Price: $21,805
Publisher: Marvel
Condition: CGC 9.6 NM+
Census Rank: Highest CGC Graded!
Page Quality: White Pages
Type of Holder: Universal
Degree Of Restoration: Unrestored

Item description:
1977, 1st Star Wars adaptation
ComicLink Comments:
This upper Near Mint CGC 9.6 NM+ is the highest graded example for the Price Variant of Star Wars #1, the most valuable Bronze Age comic book and it is 1 of only 2 ever certified at this top tier. We have to go back to the ComicLink Featured Auction of November 2009 to find the last, and only time, another 9.6 price variant has changed hands (at $26,250). Both that example and the one presented here leave nothing to be desired, with CGC's perfect page quality designation of White Pages complementing the highest certified grade of 9.6.
No Bronze Age comic books with comparably high demand can match the scarcity of the 35 cent Price Variant version of the first issue of Star Wars, and that it is why, grade for grade, it is the most valuable Bronze Age book that exists. Underscoring the rarity of this 9.6, is the fact that after nearly a decade of CGC grading only 4 examples of this key issue have ever even made it to the one grade lower tier of 9.4. On the demand side of the equation, the continued popularity of the iconic film franchise combined with the comic book medium makes for a large fan base. This is a unique opportunity to acquire the best example of this highly coveted issue.
