Thee Birthday Book by Tnerb

[CSJournals-migration]

Or Thank you RonnyLama

 

Getting my birthday books in high grade has not been the easiest thing to do. One of the most difficult to find was Wonder Woman#199. This was a comic book I found at convention after convention, but it was always expensive for the grade. After finally finding one and grading it through CGC, I was happy with a 9.4. I found a Jimmy Olson Superman's Pal #148 which graded a 9.6 SS and an Avengers 98 through Greg Reece which graded a 9.8. All three were pressed through CCS. I knew The hardest one to find in high grade was going to be Tomb of Dracula #1.

 

 

Tomb of Dracula #1 was another ridiculously easy to find comic book. And like Wonder Woman #199 the price did not match the grade. If it was graded already, the cost was even greater. I have received a 9.8 CGC copy of Tomahawk #139 from my wife as a birthday gift, but all the others I purchased raw before submitting them for grading. Now I am happy to say I own a copy of Tomb of Dracula #1 signed by Neal Adams.

 

 

I knew what was going on when I was in Seattle hanging with Ron. He told me all about his plans. He gifted me a few of my birthday books raw, but the Tomb of Dracula he wanted to go a step further. He stood in line for Neal with a witness in tow and turned the book over to CGC. This was a book I would have been happy with if I found one and had it graded a 9.2, but through the RonnyLama's generosity my latest birthday book will be a 9.6 SS. Ron I thank you, very publicly I thank you.

 

Thanks for Reading
