Congrats! :applause:

Not really X-Men related but I thought I would post here anyway.

 

Just went up to Dallas for the weekend. I stayed in Cedar Hill and my friend recommended a place with comics in Duncanville. I believe it was called "Books and Games".

Anyway I went in and started talking with the lady behind the counter. Come to find out she is good friends with my LCS owner here in Beaumont. Small world.

Turns out that all the good stuff had been taken to the Chicago show so I did not have many high grade books to find. I ended up pulling these three from the regular long boxes.

I got all three for under $40 and had a good conversation about the comic business at the same time. If you are ever in South Dallas I recommend this store.

Just upgraded my 4.5 copy to this one. :)

Purchased from my local comic shop.

It's not a huge upgrade but if baby steps get me where I want to go then so be it.

Yea.

My comic shop owner said he was considering sending it in for pressing but was not sure how square bound books would do, if they could be done at all.

If that one came from the shop on Phelan, I don't think pressing would help.

If memory serves, and it originally came from the same collector that sold

him the huge lot of DC silver last summer, there may have been a glue

problem down the spine. I bought a pile of X-men and Wolvie Minis from him

had to pass on quite a bit when the money ran out.

Bingo.

It came from Scott at Comics Kingdom on Phelan Blvd.

Great store and owner by the way.

It is just a stepping stone to eventually get me to a 9.0 someday.

Greetings Jack.

Nice pickup.

I have yet to nab one of those in 9.6.

It will happen though.

 

Nice to have you aboard.
