The Grimm reality of number three!

Ok, for those of you who have not watched the TV series Grimm, the title of this journal is not going to make sense to you. It is the title of a particular episode from the show.

At one point during the show these three coins show up that apparently have been around for centuries and have some sort of controlling power over anyone who touches them or even sees them.

They give the owner power, glory and an undeniable charisma over other men. If the coins are taken from someone who has had them in the past, the person will be mentally compelled to do anything to get them back, even kill.

Now that I am entering the top three spots in my PSL, I feel like these are my personal coins just like those from Grimm, without the homicidal tendencies of course. These three issues hold the most nostalgia and sentimentality to me which makes them more valuable to me than any monetary amount.

So what is #3 on my PSL?......

New Mutants #47 SS 9.8

The process by which I acquired this issue is catalogued in it's slot within my New Mutants set, so feel free to go there to check out the story, but suffice it to say, this issue is single-handedly responsible for me meeting and becoming good friends with Tnerb, Ronnylama and a few other collectors in this wonderful CGC registry.

The generosity, encouragement and kindness of these individuals cannot be understated. It is because of these friends that I have this beauty. As of now it is an OAK being the only SS 9.8 copy out there, but I am sure it will soon have a brother when Tnerb gets his copy signed.

I hope he manages to do exactly that at some point and I wish him all the best in the endeavor just as he and Ronnylama did for me. Tnerb and I are usually the only two people out there with SS copies of this series.

So between it being an OAK (for now), a New Mutants rarity and a symbol of friendships acquired and journeys traveled, I will simply never let it go!!!
