New Mutants Annual One: Take 3

The New Mutants were my favorite series. If you read any journals by me, this is something you most likely know. In the beginning I also disliked the art of Bill Sienkiewicz. However, on the annual, his only contribution is the cover. This stand alone story happens to be one of my favorites. I vowed if i were to ever crack open this book it would only be to get a triple signature by Bill and Chris Claremont with Bob McLeod. I cracked it even though I thought the book was graded wrong.

Once it was marked shipped/safe my disappointment began. Of course, is a 9.6 really that bad. After getting the book in my hand, I was pleased at the best signature placement I ever received on a modern age book. It wasn't enough though. I tried again and again on a book I questioned the grade. It too dropped to a 9.6. This time the signatures were not placed as well.

After winning another New Mutants Annual #1 to keep my 9.8 status, the question that begs to be asked, do I crack the slab to try again or do I wait for another 9.8 to appear. I will wait for three signatures again, or maybe I could wait for four. Eventually I will get a 9.8 SS, I just don't know how long it will take.

Are there any comic books out there that you would rather have designated as an SS, or are you happy with the grade all by itself?

Thanks for Reading
