    Entry #1
     
    Superman: Man of Steel #18 all prints and a 9.9Hello, guys and girls. I just wanted showcase a few books. Figured if I start a journal then they can all be kept organized and easy to go through. Ill start this off with all 5 prints of MOS18 (including a newsstand first) and a 9.9. I picked up the 9.9 from Foolkiller, the 5th print from Thanos88, the 3rd and 4th from Paper Airplane (sup Billy!!) and the rest I picked up in the wild, raw and subbed. A year ago this book was on fire.....oh what a difference a year can make . When it was on fire though it really made finding all the various prints a lot easier than I thought it would be.

    G. I. Joe #21 Foil Renegar Edition
    This is actually one of my favorite books. I picked up 2 copies of this book back in 03 while I was on a temporary assignment to Biloxi, Mississippi. Shortly after I took a long break from collecting.
    Around 2013 I got back into the hobby and decided to send one of my raws in to get slabbed. Now this was before I had heard of pressing so I was happy enough when it came back 9.6. After stumbling onto a couple threads about how much a press can do for a book I dug this back out and decided it was worth giving it a shot and sent it in to CCS all by its lonesome for a squish and slab. To my amazement the presswork got a grade bump to 9.8!!!
    This is probably THE book that changed the way I look at raws when I pick them up. Before G.I. Joe #21 I looked at what condition a raw book was in before I bought it. Now I look at what a raw book CAN be.
