Or Is it Worth it?

I don't know why but I have a fascination with books graded .5. It started with an Amazing Spider-Man, followed by another one, and eventually a copy of Avengers. Most recently, and most likely my last CGC book of the year I bid on and on a copy of Iron Man #55. It was the highest priced poor copy I ever got.

I will get more, I guarantee it, but will I send in a book knowing it will get that same grade? I have a copy of Daredevil #5. I purchased it originally because of the cover and I wanted a book older than my issue #7 and the condition made it dirt cheap. There was water damage, the first page is detached, chips, flakes, blunt corners, and well do many more defects that I would have to list everything.

I always planned in getting a better copy. I want more than anything else in my collection to have issues 1-10 in a 9.0 or higher with signatures. A next to impossible feat. I have one out of ten, the other nine will be somewhat of a treacherous journey to attain. But what if I tried getting one through ten in a .5, also a bit treacherous.

What do you like to get that possibly no one else does? What's your simple pleasure.

Thanks for Reading
