#10 on my Top Ten "Purge Survival List"!

I really like the idea put forth from Surfer99 to make a top ten Purge Survival List so since Tnerb is making one, I figured I may as well do the same. I know, Im just a copycat.

For me, number 10 will be the more likely to go of the ten, while number one will have to be pried from my cold dead fingers. The issues that make my top ten list will be there for a variety of reasons. Sometimes sentimental and sometimes availability or demand.

I will put down in each of the ten journals my personal reasons for having the issue where I do. Being that my collection is now over 700 issues, my list is far more solidified now than it would have been two or three years ago. Of course that also makes it tougher to choose.

So without further ado, HERE IS #10...

Infinite Crisis #1 Retailer Incentive Edition SS 9.8 WP!!

I dont keep up with modern comics for the most part. I dont buy anything new off the shelf and dont even bother to read any of them for the most part. I tend to be strictly a collector now, and in that vein I am stuck in the past. For the most part if it isnt from 1993 or earlier, I dont bother with it.

I do have a few exceptions though. My Dark Tower and Civil War issues are some of them. But in the end if I had to get rid of all of my moderns except one, THIS would be the one I keep!

Out of 229 graded copies, 9.8 is the highest grade and there are only 14 SS 9.8 issues out there, and while I dont know if any of the others are like mine, I kind of doubt it. Mine is signed by all four of the creators of the issue!! Jim Lee, Phil Jimenez, Andy Lanning and Geoff Johns!!

The scarcity of these in this graded state combined with all the sigs make this easily #10 on my list!
