1 milestone accomplished
I haven't written a journal in sometime now, but this was something definitely worth sharing.
I have been sitting comfortably in the #2 spot in the J Scott Campbell registry for quite a while now. Knowing that i was fast approaching my 100th book for my main competing set, i had started thinking back in September about whether or not i should, or even could, make my 100th book something really special. I wanted too, but i knew it would happen around the holiday seas
....or, i can't wait to get my hands on you
Back in January, i made my first ever 30 book submission. I thought that i had sorted through and picked out the best of the best to add to my collection. It was a mixed return with 25/30 books coming back 9.6 or higher. I looked closely at the few books that received lower grades than i hoped, and studied why they were graded as such.

So in celebration of this milestone, i thought i may share a short tale of my greatest single find, so fa
I may have a problem
In my first journal,i blabbed about getting my 30 book submission back. What a rush that was. I am still drinking in all the goodness. But, like most of you, i still kept hunting for more goodies not 2 days later.
First off, i stumbled on to a nice, high grade Batman #1 1:200 at a very low price. No reason it should get lower than a 9.6. My #2 got 9.6, and they would make a nice pair.
A week later, board member Tnerb hooked me up with a great book. On that note i jus
Its also my first journal
Like anyone else here, it was Christmas for me to see my books were shipped today and my grades were posted. Other than my ColSoc coupon, all my books have been purchased, so i was quite interested in how my eye was for high grade books. I sent 30 books at once, and i was realistic enough to know they would not all come back 9.8 or up.
Now, i primarily collect J. Scott Campbell covers(and i am currently 2nd in the registry set), but i do have an near complete Batma
