Yes, but only to me.

This book will never be worth anything to anybody except me. I decided to get all my New Mutants graded regardless of what they would attain. So far, the lowest grade is a 4.5 SS and the best of them I pulled off the racks was a 9.8. The two most sought after issues both are graded a 9.6.

After originally having my issue fifteen graded, it returned a 4.5, a grade that surprised me for no other reason then it was probably my most read book. I knew it wouldn't be above a five but I thought it would be closer to a 3.5. After turning it over to get signed by Chris Claremont it returned a 4.5. It might have received a one point increase for the registry.

Today I am on my way to Wizard World. Stan Lee will not be there today, but he will be there on Friday for signings and photo ops. I plan on getting another picture with him in my hometown. This will make four and although it will never surpass the first one I took, it will add to it. The signature on my book will be taken care of by someone else. But why have Stan Lee sign a book he had absolutely NOTHING to do with.

I have a goal. On the first page of issue fifteen is a list of names who are credited one way if the other, Stan Lee is listed as "Presentor", and Bob McLeod also listed as "created by", and since I already have Chris Claremont on the cover, what's two more even if they has nothing to do with this book, and while I am at it, why not have it personalized. I'll have a picture as soon as possible. Now, the next person will have to be Sal Buscema.

Oh and the cost is right there next to my father saying "what are you F...ing nuts...for a comic book?"

Thanks for reading
