Or these aren't the X-Men your parents told you about.

I've decided to narrow down my sets.

At one time I took over the first place position of the New Mutants. I did this by having a single book more than the previous holder and a lot more signatures. This has since changed. Bagofleas regained first place without looking back and I helped him do it.

I also built my set by his rules. Nothing under a 9.8 was posted. That is about to change. I'll have three sets and I hope that will dwindle to two. My primary set will be my desire to have a full signature series. My secondary set will be my universal copies, of which I hope to get signatures for, as well as any doubles.

The third set will be my original set, a combination of signed and unsigned graded books. Some will even be personalized, and all of these will be graded all over the spectrum. Most are only worth one point. At the end if the, with this set, the grades don't matter.

I am hoping that one day they will allot more points for this set. There are almost as many first appearances in the first twenty issues as there are issues. I do have it obscure and I know I won't win an award, but the joy I'm getting at rewriting everything and taking pictures through Instagram are bringing a renewed joy that I have been lacking. Once I am finished I will then change the status of my set to allow all to see.

Thanks for Reading

Ps. Bagofleas...I'm still coming after the first place spot.
