Maximizing your point increase.

One of the issues I took with me to Megacon was Daredevil #236. This issue is significant to me for a number of reasons.

It is an original collection issue. One that my Father and I picked up right off the shelf back In 1986. It has been stored from that moment on, for decades now. This makes it a sentimental issue for me.

When I looked it over about a year ago, to determine its grade, I put it at an easy 9.8 without a press! But I waited until now, so that I could get a sig on it.

The big advantage for me with having this issue graded, is that it benefits not one, but THREE different sets!!

It goes in my Daredevil set, my Bill Sienkiewicz Covers set, and in the upcoming Marvel 25th Anniversary Border Covers set, which is currently 42 spots a way from creation.

That's a lot of benefit from one comic! Having it come back exactly how I thought it would, with an awesome Sienkiewicz signature emblazoned on it, has me giddy with joy. I just wish my dad was still around to enjoy all of this.

I hope Tnerb, Ronnylama, Lee K, Shivabali and Surfer99 all have a blast at ECCC!! I'll shoot for next year guys. Meeting all of you will be quite a honor whenever the time comes!
