Three More to Go

Or Seriously, Only Three More to Go

 

I can't believe it's almost here and with only three more to go I can barely contain myself. I've been waiting so very long and now the time is upon me, hell the time may very well be upon you and you don't even know it yet. As soon as I noticed, I became almost as giddy as seeing that not only was my ASM #129 graded after my third signature, but it retained its 9.6 status. And now after actually typing the above I realize I feel EVEN more excited than I was then because after all this time I only have three to go, that's right three to go. And those three aren't even in my control and I wonder if Kaholo1256 had something to do with it. Did his statement make it happen even quicker? Does he even know what I'm talking about? Do you?

 

I have waited a long time for this, maybe too long. The love for this hobby, for these graded comics is what had me decide to do this; more so than having Stan Lee sign my New Mutants #15, you know the one graded a 4.5, and what a signature it is. Now only if I knew when that would be in my hands, But with only three more to go I can finally erupt into joyous chorus, me and my Smurf can dance and stomp on fleas. Karma can bow down to me because it is so close I can taste it. This is better than hot chocolate with Marshmallows on a cold winter day after sledding down the best hill in the neighborhood. It's better than the first time I got my first B....um let's skip that, my ex might not want me to admit that, even though it was decades ago, but what a memory...and as great as it is with only three more to go...now that I'm really thinking about it, it isn't...but I DIGRESS.

 

After all this time, the waiting, the long constipated waiting. The numerous cups of coffee and the single dozen invoices that were sent to CGC and returned to me I now only have three more to go. I checked. You can check too. It's there in black and white, well maybe black and eggshell white, or off-white, damn off-white to white, curse you. How dare you grace my New Mutants #16...oh wait!!! I digress again because at the end of the day I only HAVE THREE MORE TO GO!!!!

 

Thanks for Reading

PS. I still need to post that entirely different post but once I found out the above, how could I post anything else?

Dude, you are trippin. What ARE you talking about?

I'm glad you said it because I was so confused about his excitement it almost reads like babble.

 

But I think he's referring to DD signatures... early issues to be signed by Stan Lee.

 

If it's not that then it's New Mutants.

 

And if it's not that then I am stumped.

I believe it may be a reference to New Mutants 58, New Mutants Annual #4, and... wow #3 would be hard but I'm going with Magik #3 to round out the New Mutantness. Who knows may be closer than he thinks.

I guess I read this the wrong way

 

"As soon as I noticed, I became almost as giddy as seeing that not only was my ASM #129 graded after my third signature, but it retained its 9.6 status."

Alas, none of the above. I have hinted at this periodically in the journals and hoped and prayed that a set would be created and soon it shall be. On a Pale Horse was written by Piers Anthony and picked up by Innovation to be published as an entirely painted comic book. The art was beautiful. I don't remember the chronological order of events but did I pick up this comic book just because I knew the story so well, or did Joe Jusko's Marvel card set have something to do with it, or maybe this book helped me move over into the card market.

 

Either way I recommend for a good read that you spend the money for the novel and then look around dollar bins for this limited series that was never completed. A journal for another time.
