Or should I say, "Strikes Again"!!

I have had a number of occasions where I've purchased raw books from Mile High online and wound up with gorgeous copies that wound up as CGC 9.8 books! In some instances I've gotten 9.6 but usually with books still worthy of owning in the grade.

Heck, the one 9.4 I got on a book from them was my Special Marvel Edition #15 which is now SS 9.4 OW/W and signed by the great Jim Starlin!

So I'm never gonna complain about these guys! They are the reason my graded Dazzler set is complete now, though I still need 9.8s of #24 and #25. They are the reason I have a Machine Man #19 in 9.8 WP, as well as my Micronauts #1 which is now SS 9.8 WP and signed by Michael Golden, and my Marvel Two-In-One #3 which is SS 9.8 and signed by Sal Buscema......

Anyway, you get the idea. All of these were raw, unseen purchases from Mile High! Not bad if I do say so myself. And now they have done it again!

I purchased a number of Vigilante issues from them to try for some 9.8 copies. Once I found out that Keith Pollard and Marv Wolfman were going to be at Tampa Bay CC, I just had to get some of the first issues double signed by them. I already had a 9.8 of #1 and #4 that I just didn't feel like cracking, but the #2, #3, #5 and #7 raw copies from Mile High were worth the try.

I got both of them to sign #2, 3 and 5, but only Wolfman on #7 since Pollard left the book after #5. But the jet black cover of #7 made it worth it to me if I could get 9.8 on it.

Well these four books are back in my hands and here's how they came out!

Vigilante #2 - SS 9.8 WP Pollard and Wolfman

Vigilante #3 - SS 9.8 WP Pollard and Wolfman

Vigilante #5 - SS 9.8 WP Pollard and Wolfman

Vigilante #7 - SS 9.8 WP Wolfman

Oh yeah!!!!!! Mile High definitely strikes again!!!

Below is a pic of #5. The others will be shown in the replies.
