or I might just give it a try

I went to my LCS today and not only picked up this week's books but last week's books as well, not to mention I DID receive my New Mutants #54 Signature Series in a 9.8. I felt like I had a hefty haul, something I haven't had in a long time...OK conventions do NOT count. I picked up the books I wanted to read, including the all black cover of ShadowMan. However, this was the first time I picked up two number ones in a long time.

I decided to give Iron Man a try, and right there next to the number one I decided to pick up and read was a gorgeous blank cover. There was another one for Deadpool and A+X. Money has been tight and is getting tighter so I decided that I would try the Iron Man #1 out and eventually try to commission a sketch Cover by Greg Land. I have become addicted to the signature series books and figure I may try just one; of course that's how I started Collecting CGC books in the first place with my Daredevil #90 and my Secret War #2.

After seeing the beautiful books that Kaholo1256 had commissioned I decided why not try it. I looked through the blank covers and picked out the best one possible. There are some minor flaws, like the corner chips and a bulge by the upper stapled area, but I hope with a press and immense luck it could achieve a 9.8 status with artwork rendered on the book just for me. But why Iron man and not Deadpool or A+X, it's because Iron Man was right up there with the New Mutants and Uncanny X-men, well at least till the climatic issue #200.

So Yes, Kaholo1256 I blame you, and I thank you too.

Thanks for Reading
