I have always liked the uncanny x-force 5 Psylocke variant but have only looked randomly. I have known about Manara but he wasn’t firmly on my collecting radar. After this thread was started I began looking seriously for the x-force 5. I bought a raw copy on eBay yesterday and was planning on posting a picture once it came in. Today as I walked in to my LCS the owner said, “I bought a box of modern variants from a guy off the street and it had these in it. Do you know who the artist is?” I said yes and I’ll take em! Both easy NM. Great to hear you picked up that X-Force 5. Yes, please post it when it comes in. Wow that is a coincidence.. Great pickup on the two. I don’t have the Guardians, but probably when the time is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I find something new to me in the comic world, I go all in and research as much as possible. This right here is a very rare comic. Very, very rare!

There where only 69 copies printed of this virgin variant. There is one 9.8 on ebay right now, which I think is listed at a very reasonable price. I remember two listed in the past few years sell in the $800 range. Edited July 20, 2020 by SamPool Summydad1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out #8 I purchased it Raw at a local Comic show back in 2017, it came pre-bagged. I pressed it myself and submitted it for grading.

In March 2017 I purchased two copies of this from mycomicshop, beautiful copies. When I took them out of the bag/board to inspect the books one of them had the back cover folded. So, I sent if back but kept this one. I pressed it myself and sent it in to CGC.. Usually if I purchase raw books from ebay or other places I like to see that a seller has multiple copies, one for me to purchase and more likely for me to get a 9.8 copy.

Such a good cover on a tremendous series. It’s one of the better runs I have ever read. Definitely top 10. SamPool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
