# 6 on my PSL....

New Mutants Annual #2 SS 9.8

So here we are with the first issue on my list from the greatest series ever produced by Marvel Comics. At least I think so.

I have been putting together a graded set of this series for the entire time I have been collecting CGC comics! This is one of the keys from the series and also one of the toughest ones to get in 9.8! For two years I kept my eyes open for a copy to show up and finally was rewarded with this copy appearing on Ebay. It cost me $200. I was ecstatic!

There were only 9 available in this grade at the time I purchased it. But this happens to be one of the hardest first appearances of mutants to get. It is the first appearance of Psylocke! Tnerb tells me that the light pink cover makes it a tough issue to get in higher grades.

Earlier this year I decided to take a BIG risk and crack this beauty open to get signed by Chris Claremont and regraded. I was shaking in my boots during the entire process but Tnerb encouraged me and rooted me on.

It came back SS 9.8!! I was ecstatic x2!... If there is such a thing. .

There are currently 11 copies of this thing in 9.8 with only one other being SS. This baby is staying right here!!
