Was it this guy? donrosacollection (708)
Yep, that's him. I believe his name is Steve Wyatt.
I love this place. That's the info I was looking for. I think a thread was started about it as well.
He had all the slabs at SDCC that first year (2005) for viewing, as Don Rosa wanted all the slabs sold on eBay. However, all the mags were purchased by Bill Hughes during the con.
The raws were sold at the show. Too bad I did not concentrate on buying up the hard to find picture frames at that time and instead worked on my DC list. I also bought the whole Skywald collection that was complete except the romance issues.
Greg, didn't you buy the Don Rosa X-Men #79? And I think I might own that book even thought the designation didn't make it on the label.
Yes, I bought it and sent the certificate along with the book when I sold it.
It was part of a bunch of higher end raws that Steve Wyatt held back from the initial exclusive raiding by Ewert and Brulato.
