gino2paulus2 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Quite an epic buy, Gino. I think we should start calling you Mr. Risk. Are you going to keep it slabbed, or crack it? Thanks Jon!!! Im assuming the comparison is because he is sharp, sophisticated, and FEARLESS!! As of now I have already read this issue on comicbookplus (so happy they have it) my plans are to keep in encapsulated. With a baby on the way, and 1 year old super curious little boy, and a 4 year old girl (with more friends than me!!) I like the added protection of the case for a book of this magnitude (for me anyways). Now my collection has a self installed keypad lock for the room they are housed in so the kids don't go in there frequently but every so often I leave it open. They do enjoy asking the age old question, "Daddy who and whats that?" So I let them hold and look through the books with them. My son if given a book however will act as a personal document shredder so as of now no touching for him. Maybe 18 yrs down the road I will crack them all out but as of right now I REALLY enjoy displaying them. I will be re-reading the issue for sure as its been 2 yrs or so since I last did. There is NO replacement for holding and thumbing a book like this but I am content. Signorelli said the book is extremely solid and thought it would garner a 2.0 but got hit hard for the staining and the piece out on the back so I have my piece of mind knowing that. I appreciate the kind words my friend!! And for your viewing pleasure!!.... Our Flag - "Who is Mr. Risk?" Super Mystery - "Meet Mr. Risk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino2paulus2 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks Gentleman!!!!! Family FUN for sure!!!...Im actually the player in the family...they are both what I call Piano Pounders at this stage but they do show interest and that is what's important. My daughter definitely has music running through her veins...she dances to a beat and sings in key...Its a little early to tell with lil Gino but if I give him a guitar pick he won't put it down for his life and his dancing is awesome!! They have a little piano and both have their own mini age appropriate guitars. My son has a little drum set and they both have childrens harmonicas. For as long as I can remember my Dad has been in at least one band if not two. He's a life long local yocal but is super talented and can play anything you hand him. He was one of those almost made it big stories from the 70s with his band Dixie Peach. Ive watched him play at the Rock Hall several times. He's opened up for Canned Heat back in the day, Joe Walsh, and more recently Ted Nugent down in Nashville a few years ago. Ive seen the Allman Brothers Dickey Betts sit in with their band several times as well as .38 Specials Jeff Carlisi. Ive gotten to hang out and buy a beer with Billy Joels drummer Liberty Devitto and even Tommy Lee. Im no prodigy or anything but Im pretty decent. I enjoy playing in my spare time and find it relaxing. If they can find the same joy in it that I do I would be a happy man. Well Im already a happy man...ah you get the point hehe Just living the Dream Edited to add: My Pops is the one who got me into comics as well he used to read em to me when I was a little fart. I will never forget when he read me the marriage of Aunt May and Doc Ock!!!!! Good times Edited June 14, 2015 by gino2paulus2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
