Wonder Woman #199

I showed two Marvel titles in two days, both happen to be X-Men issues. There are so many more Marvel titles I would like to add, but this one seems worthy to write about. This was one of the books that helped me decide to go after any and all issues by Marvel and DC that were published in April of 72.

Wonder Woman #199 is an amazing cover that had me search multiple places for. I scoured the boxes at not only my local comic book shops (7), but I looked through boxes at the Philly ComiCon, Megacon Comic Con, Philadelphia Wizard World, NYCC, and the Baltimore Comic Con. I couldn't find any for the price I wanted to pay in the conditions the book appeared to be in. The cheapest I found one for was $225. I guessed even the best one that I saw couldn't be graded over an 8.0. After a year of searching I couldn't find one that was worth it.

Then at the New York Special Edition 2014, a week before another Philadelphia Wizard World I found a copy worthy to pick up. It was only $55 and at least an 8 or an 8.5. I purchased the book, pressed it, and had CGC grade it on site in Philadelphia. I have to say, I am happy with the results.

Thanks for Reading
