My collection is in storage at the moment on account of a move, but I'll have to check which version I already had when I dig it out. I'm not a variation collector so never paid much attention to this, the bat color differences, 'Perranoski' etc. on the other CLs. Is one of the #9 versions significantly more difficult in high grade than the other? All I know is it took me a long time to find a good one of either. Most of my set is raw but I had to pony up for the graded 8 on account of the dearth of clean, centered ungraded.
