Popular Post Msgarmar Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 I’m in my late 40’s and I recently brought a bunch of my childhood books to GalaxyCon in Raleigh to be signed by Jim Shooter. He was awesome - talked to me for 20 minutes and told me a bunch of stories about working for Marvel and signing with Stan. He was pretty surprised that these were from my original collection and he seemed kinda excited about it. I just got the books back and I have to say I’m really happy with my teenage self. My preservation led to fairly high grades and white pages for all of them. The rep at the show forgot to check pressing and I didn’t notice until it was too late, but the grader notes for all of the 8.5’s are pressable defects. Funny thing is that all i did was bag and board and put in a long box and wrap it with many layers of plastic wrap (for moving). I brought these books through 10+ moves over 30 years. Overall I’m happy with my 10-15 year old self! And gotta love Shooter’s sig placement. Chaz G., rrrxr6, DELTA 62 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexinnih Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Congrats, great collection. FYI my Secret Wars 8 was originally graded 8.5 and I submitted for Shooter in house signing at CGC with pressing. Came back a signed 9.6 so recommend if you got the time!

Msgarmar Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Thanks! I appreciate it! That motivates me to send in a few of them to be pressed and re-graded when I send in my next batch. Do you have before and after pics you can share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
