1st Silver Samurai posted by B. Koski

Just checked the census on this issue, and by my surprise...

 

There's not many graded. Especially in high grade..I'm a little surprised. I guess it's not a huge 1st, but if there is a collector out there looking for mutant villains 1st app, this would be a huge one. And now with the new wolverine movie coming out this Summer, I'm curious if we'll see more graded. A couple year's back I remember when Surfer99 showing and talking about this issue and how significant it was, and I was just blown away by the cover. And now with the movie coming out and the fact there's not many graded, I'll be keeping an eye on this book.

And from my favorite title too, but my favorite Silver Samurai cover by far is New Mutants #6. I remember when I first saw it, I was amazed at the cover. It was the first one where the characters on the cover messed up the logo that I ever purchased.

Dear BK,

 

Very nice... high grade... key issue... and tied into Wolverine's mythology and potentially the movies... excellent! Congrats on the acquisition.

Cool book, I'm curious too about the impact the upcoming film will have on the character.

Hey B, yeah I agree. I would think there'd be more graded. When I picked up my copy in Sept 2011 there were only 50 copies graded. Now there are still just 66. Im sure as the movie gets closer we'll see more graded. Lovin the X-Villain appearance! Browsed your collection too, you've got some fantastic books in there!!

I don't know if I hate you or appreciate you, but because of your post and all of the comments I went out and got both this one which was amazing as well as Issue 2 of Wolverine CGC 9.8. I may have paid more than I thought I was for this one but it is one of those characters that was always cool to read in my old favorite series.

 

Great Post and keep it coming.

I'm tempted to get my own Daredevil #111 just to be in on this, but...getting a 7.5 just seems...wrong, I think I'll go read it again, after I get through with my X-men #140-#142.

Hey T, Wouldn't blame you one bit for pickin' this beauty up...It's a great cover!

[Cyclops]

Love this cover. I have a nice copy with deep color that I keep thinking I should sell. But every time I pick it up and look at it, I get absorbed into the cover and don't want to sell it. So back it goes...

 

I'll sell the beater without the stamp

 

Great book, sir.
