Alriiiight, everyone! Its time for GUESS THAT ISSUE!!!

Its the gameshow where you, the CGC collector, has to guess which comic, Graphic Novel or Magazine that I, Bagofleas am getting signed at Baltimore! The winner will receive an exclusive contract to write a comic right alongside Stan Lee himself!

...Ok, not really. Just kidding. Shouldnt have gotten your hopes up... blahblahblah.

But seriously, folks... really, I mean it this time. I am about to attempt something never before accomplished here on the registry. at least I dont think so. Forgive me if I am wrong.

I have been coordinating with Tnerb on some items for the Baltimore show. He has even sent me some absolute beauties for Sal Buscema to sign, since Sal will only be there on that Saturday and Tnerb cant make it until Sunday.

I have told Tnerb about the majority of what I am trying to accomplish at the show, but there is one thing that I have not told anyone yet! But instead of just telling you guys, I will throw out some hints and leave it up to you to guess. Ready? Here we go!

There are two items.

They are from the same series, be it comic or magazine.

They are #1 and #2 in the series.

They were published between 1967 and 1980.

They were published by either Marvel or DC.

Both were written, drawn and edited by the same 3 individuals.

There are currently NO SS 9.8 copies of either one in existence!

They were part of a series with over 30 issues. Not a Miniseries or one-shot.

I will be getting them both signed at the Baltimore Comic Con.

With these hints, see if you can guess what issues these are. I will remove one possibility from your guesses by telling you that they are NOT Doctor Strange #1 & #2. There ARE SS 9.8 copies of those, and no one appearing in Baltimore had anything to do with them anyway. Besides, I just happen to be getting those exact two issues signed in Tampa tomorrow by Frank Brunner! So that is one possibility down the drain.

The fact that there arent any SS copies of these is pretty amazing to me. I figured somebody would have given these a chance at SS 9.8 by now, but apparently not.

Anyway, there you have it, folks! From these clues, take your guesses. Once I am back from the show in a few weeks, I will post another journal with the answer and a photo of the items. The winners can then pat themselves on the back or I can send my Fleas over to do it for you.

HAPPY GUESSING EVERYBODY!

Below is a pic of my favorite Starlog issue that I had signed at Megacon. I posted this pic on Instagram a while back but never in a journal, so here it is. I remember picking this copy up off the shelf in 1988. I was helplessly hooked on watchng ST TNG back then and could not believe it when I saw this cover. Were they actually going to kill off Tasha? NO! She was probably my favorite character after Data. Sure enough, a few weeks later, ixnay on the Ashatay! This was the first published article on the possibility of that event. Meeting Denise Crosby at Megacon and getting her signature on it was awesome! Having it get a 9.8 after having it for all of these years without even pressing it was astonishing!
