    Is there any reason to believe, prior to this, that Joe Bennett is an anti-semite? One dumb enough to put his anti-Semitism blatantly on show in a Marvel comic book? Has he ever said or done anything in the past that might lead one to believe he is an anti-semite or otherwise racist? I don't know anything about him, so am asking honestly. I'm not willing to jump straight to accusation and condemnation over what could have simply been a dumb, misunderstood mistake.

    That water damage seems way too extensive to hope for something near 4.0. A press would help the book look much more presentable, sure. It'd be a great copy to have as a reader, but I get you gotta slab it to get the most out of your money/time if you are planning to sell. I say it is a 2.0/2.5 at best due to the massive amount of water damage. But it's complete and looks really good despite that, nice book!

    I bought this book from Rick (G.A.tor), and he said that Stan Lee stopped by his booth at a show and asked if he had anything he'd like for him to sign. This copy of X-Men #1 was brought out and Stan signed it. It wasn't witnessed as it was an unexpected opportunity, so no gold label. I love it. It has fairly good placement (poor Ice Man lol), is legible and doesn't distract from the presentation at all. I don't think I could have asked for a nicer presenting 2.5 and the sig is just icing on the cake.

    In case there is anyone who might check in on the journal, I got the big one! I've pecked at the X-Men run here and there, but as usual I can't stay focused on one run for long and have filled in holes in my Thor, Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, Tales to Astonish runs. Last Fall I decided I should try to get an X-Men #1 before the price for even low grade copies made it impossible. I sold nearly my entire Parrillo collection as well as almost all of my copper/modern Amazing Spider-Man run (including a ASM 238 in cgc 9.4, a really nice raw 361, the rest of the McFarlane run including a super nice 316), and I scraped together the funds for THIS oh yeah baby! I've already posted it elsewhere on the boards, but thought I should update the journal, too. Maybe if I remember to do so more often it will help me stay focused on completing this run. Now that I have a #1 out of the way, the goal seems significantly more achievable.
