or the 501st + one

My favorite CGC graded comic book is on its way back home. This book has been graded so far a total of four times. The first time receiving a Universal Blue 4.5, each time after a horrendous yellow. I decided to get this book signed by anyone who was mentioned in the credits on the very first page which includes not only Stan Lee, but also the creators.

Five signatures now appear on the cover. I even had Stan Lee add a little more than his scrawl. Jim Shooter is the next possible name to be added, but the one I want most of all is Tom Mandrake. I hope that he will appear somewhere especially with his recent work in Sidekick.

This is more a labor of love creating a thousand dollar comic book not worth a thousand dollars. My 9.8 copy was also signed which I decided as Bagofleas did to have it go through CCS. I didn't do this to all if them, just some that I wanted to have that extra care. I already have 14 of my books from the Baltimore Comic Con in the received stage. Most of which are the New Mutants I decided against having to press, a savings of over $150.

My New Mutants is scheduled to be home this Tuesday sometime before the end of day. Fortunately, I am off. Maybe I'll lounge outside and wait while reading my first Omnibus that I purchased on sale at Wade's Comic Madness in Levittown, PA. Now I must go, I have to continue getting ready for the NYCC.

Thanks for Reading
