Who Watches the Wallet?

Well the bonus from work is coming in the next paycheck so I went on a comic link splurge for some X-Men CGC upgrades, I'll report back with the bid successes. I've got 4 books that are nice copies in the 9.0-9.4 range from the original run that I'm eyeing up. Those 9.6's and 9.8's are just too much for me to swing right now.

I've also got to get cracking on putting the other lesser grade copies up on ebay... hmmm... might be a good SuperBowl project. Also, I'm putting together my signature list for Stan Lee at Pittsburgh Comicon in April. I'm bringing one of my Marvel Omnibus hardcovers to have signed for personal trinket collection, but I'm contemplating whether I want to go rogue and get something worthy of a "Green Label" for my private stash as well. Stan Lee is Stan Lee, and having an old X-Men with his name on it would be priceless for me, even if the resale can't be verified.

And to plug the blog, I wrote my own 2 cents on the Watchmen Prequel Project from DC.

Have a great February everyone, and don't forget to set aside a portion of your upcoming tax returns for some comics!
