Or Why isn't one enough?

Two of my first signature series editions were New Mutants #18 and #19. Although both were off-white to white pages (and stolen by the USPS) they had the signatures of Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz. My other signature series books only had one. I started to change that this year. I don't know with what book but my ASM #129 is signed by Stan Lee and John Romita. This book is not in my possession but at CGC after being with Classics Incorporated to hopefully improve the grade. Once done I have to make the decision to bring it to the ECCC and have Gerry Conway sign it, and on a side note I did not know until recently that Gerry Conway was only seventeen when he started to write for Marvel.

My first book to have three signatures on it will be my very own copy of New Mutants #77. I brought this to the NYCC for Louise Simonson, Bob Wiacek, and Bob Mcleod's signatures...if I remember correctly. I am guessing this book will achieve a 9.2/9.4. It is my own so I am ok with that. The other book I brought was a copy of New Mutants #19 for Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz that I cracked open a universal blue label. This one had white pages and I am trying to achieve the best New Mutants collection I possibly can. Of course what dictates the best?

The signatures I am getting might just be a passing phase. But the yellow labels just seem to pop. Some signatures are better than others but some books are more centered than others too. It's all a matter of perception. One day I might eve purchase another New Mutants #1 in a 9.9 and possibly try to crack that for a multiple signature copy all the while retaining a 9.9 status. Yea! And I might have just won that half a billion dollar lottery too.

Thanks for Reading.
