Ronnylama Strikes Again!

As many of you know from previous journals of mine Ronnylama generously sent me a number of issues that were part of sets I am putting together. He even sent me a 9.8 graded copy of Batman number 405 to help me complete my Year One set!! What a friend!!

He also sent me a few Vigilante issues since I am also putting together a set of those. This is not a set that most collectors out there are all that interested in outside of number 1. I however would LOVE to eventually have a full set of these graded.

That is a tall order since about 35 of the 52 issues in the set have not even been graded at all!!!

One of the issues he sent me just happened to be the only issue in the series with a cover done by Bill Sienkiewicz. After a slow start on my part I eventually came to love Bills art. I have also been working with Gemma to possibly create a Sienkiewicz cover set category. It looks like Gemma is gonna do it!

I did a lot of research and created a huge list to start with but since many of these dont even exist on the registry yet it may take a while before this new set rears its head.

Anyway this issue of Vigilante that Ronnylama sent me was number 28. I sent it in along with a number of other issues and guess what....?

Just like my New Mutants 47 that Ronnylama sent me this one also came back 9.8 WP!! It is the only graded copy of the issue now! OAK!!! It has a really dark cover too! This issue not only counts for my Vigilante set but also for the future Sienkiewicz set when it appears.

This comic may not hold much historic significance. But for me it is a wonderful gift from a wonderful friend that I probably would never have been able to own otherwise.

Thanks Ron! You are the best!!
