More Signatures

This time by Bob Mcleod

 

I had a great day today. I went to Baltimore Aquarium with a really good friend, so good in fact she had no problem stopping off at Comic to Astonish with me before going to see the fish. When I was there Keegan was in the midst of putting away some comics he just got back from CGC. Although I was still waiting for the Stan Lee signatures I did have the ones from Bob McLeod.

 

Issues #1,2,4, and 5 all came back in a 9.8 signature series. There are 11 signature series in a 9.8 for issues #1. As far as the other three I currently have the only signature series in a 9.8. I don't know why signatures became so important to me but I love having the yellow tag above the book. The other New Mutants #1 dropped to a 9.4 from a 9.6. Maybe I should try to add a Claremont signature as well.

 

I know there is a single New Mutants #15 in a SS 9.8 and hope one day to add one to my collection. I have not yet decided whether or not I will try to upgrade everything to a SS because quite frankly I am unsure if they will keep the grade. For instance I still have the only copy of issue #47 in a 9.8 as well as issue #81. I would fear getting them signed and dropping to a 9.6. However once I do find SS copies in a 9.8 I am sending another collector an e-mail telling him I will need a home for the unsigned copies. There is a number #47 under the signature series but couldn't make that 9.8. These are the only graded copies.

 

I also visited a second comic book shop on the way home but with so much to tell I will wait for another day. I slept only a few hours and right now I want to bathe in the glory of adding these to the registry and will work on taking the photos to update my registry.

 

Thanks for Reading.
