Been waitin' on this one

I got into CGC collecting about 3 years ago. I started with New Mutants and slowly branched out in my collecting habits. Transformers was a set I wanted to work on but they were far too expensive for what I wanted to pay for them.

So I waited.

Issue #1 was originally selling for around $400 in 9.8 back then.

So I waited.

Around a year and a half later, I got a 9.8 WP copy of #1 for $104 total! I've seen it sell for more than that just recently thanks to the new movies.

Issue #80 in 9.8 was selling for an astronomical $800-$900 3 years ago!

So I waited.

I have finally acquired a 9.8 WP copy of this rarer last issue for a mind-blowing $189 total!!! Holy cow! I don't believe it! And I know not everyone agrees with me but in my opinion it is an even rarer copy due to its being a news-stand copy! There were fewer of these sent out as news-stand than there were to dealers and those same news-stand copies would not have been treated as well as the direct editions, making THIS copy even harder to come by.

Say what you like, but I AM ONE HAPPY CAMPER right now! :) :) :)

Keep up the collecting folks!
