Or I have it, I just don't own it.

What comic book fan doesn't jump at the chance to get a signature from Stan Lee. I knew I needed another book signed by The Man and what better book than Daredevil #2 to finish my complete Daredevil run, but I wasn't the only one to get signatures. Lee K (more on this story later) and RonnyLama both sent me books. In the case of Lee K, a single Marvel Tales of Suspense #65 (I know, Lee K with a Marvel comic) and Four books for RonnyLama (FF 9, FF 16, X-Men 3, and Iron Man #1), this doesn't include the three I wanted signed.

I handed over a total of eight books, two of which are still with CGC, both Lee K's single book and my pride and joy are still not yet in my hands, but I did get my two Daredevil books back along with the four RonnyLama supplied, one of which is a 9.6 copy of Iron Man #1, a book I used to have that I traded in towards my ASM #129, a much lower grade.

Ronnylama's book was a purchased 9.6 universal blue, untouched after cracked. And when it was opened fear overtook RonnyLama as he noticed a missing staple. Fortunately, it was a manufacturing defect, because there never was a staple, the pages underneath were hole less and only held together by the lone upper metal fastener. In this instance I think it makes the book all the cooler. Although I wonder, would the book be a 9.8 if it had the staple in the first place.

So this week as I am training at the new job I have to get to a FedEx office and ship his comic books back to him, not to mention the beautiful 9.8 triple signature copy of X-Men #140 to Lee K (and yet another Marvel issue for the Go-Go king).

All four that RonnyLama turned over were beautiful silver age specimens. They are still jaw dropping gorgeous, but now they are signed by Stan Lee. A couple of them were under that Very Fine/Near Mint designation. Fantastic Four #9 was a Universal 9.0 and returned a SS 9.0 so if a 9.0 SS is good enough for RonnyLama, then it's good enough for me.

Thanks for Reading
