The first ones in!

I've got 3 cons worth of signed comics in process at CCS and CGC. But thanks to fast tracking one invoice, I have my first ones back now!

I only fast tracked the invoice so I would at least get SOMETHING back to enjoy while waiting on everything else to muddle through the 5 to 6 month process of pressing and grading.

There were only 4 comics on this invoice. They were signed in Tampa. Among these are the first 2 copies of Dazzler that I have had signed. I have 7 more in process, one of which Tnerb just did for me at NYCC.

Here are the issues I just got back:

Web of Spider-Man #1 - SS 9.8 WP signed by Greg LaRocque

New Mutants #63 - SS 9.8 WP signed by Bo Hampton

Dazzler #34 - SS 9.8 WP signed by Geof Isherwood

Dazzler #36 - SS 9.8 WP signed by Geof Isherwood (pic below)

Geof Isherwood is particularly difficult to get since he rarely does any shows. In fact, the only cons I've ever noticed him attending is the Tampa Bay ComicCon.

I've been working on my New Mutants to get them all upgraded to SS copies just like Tnerb, but now I have started doing the same with my Dazzler, Marvel Fanfare, What If and Marvel Graphic Novels.

I don't really have any personal interest in chasing after the modern artists and writers, though I think its cool to do so. I tend to stick with the old school creators from the 80s and earlier.

Tnerb went after a bunch of the modern guys with his issues for NYCC and that's awesome! I hope he is able to sell them all for good profit to help fund his collecting habits. But I would much rather spend my time and money on older stuff and older creators.

Of course, if my brother keeps this up, he may be able to finance a lot more cool, signed older stuff with the money he makes and that can be just as beneficial to his ultimate goals as my own.

Good luck, Big Brother, and thank you again for helping me out with my issues at NYCC!! It's amazing how much you got done there!

Below is the pic of my newly yellow labeled Dazzler #36! Both of my Dazzlers on this invoice are now OAKs!!!!
