Got my signatures...

Got a late start today, but dont feel like I missed much. The line for George Perez was only about ten people. I went and talked to the guys from CGC first and they told me to just give them a call when I was like third in line. They were really helpful as always and I wont lie, it was a little nerve wracking popping my two books out of their cases to get signed. Im thinking theyll be downgraded a tad after the signatures but Im good with it...I would rather have the signatures.

George is a REALLY cool dude. He is always smiling, always signing...sometimes stacks of books, taking pics with fans, and for a small fee doing sketches. As he was signing my Xmen 112 he pointed out this was the first time Wolverine had ever been drawn with hair on his arms...I did not realize that! Then as he is signing my Xmen 128 I asked if he could draw a small Phoenix logo, which he was happy to do. Like I said, really cool guy.

After this, the CGC person walked with me to Bob Laytons booth so he could sign my Xmen 112 as well since he did the cover with George. I mentioned to him what George had said about Wolverine and he didnt know that either...he said, wow, one more piece of comics history I didnt know I was a part of! He seemed like a pretty nice guy too.

I found a couple more reading copies from Avengers and my son picked up a couple TPBs but I wasnt able to find any other high grade Xmen appearances so I just submitted what I brought with me. On that note, these are the books I had graded...also used FASTtrack this time to avoid that 100 day wait...

Xmen 114SS formerly CGC 9.4

Xmen 128SS formerly CGC 9.6

Amazing Adventures 11 best guess 9.0

Avengers 48 best guess 9.2

Fantastic Four 28 best guess 7.0

Xmen 95 best guess 9.0

Xmen 126 best guess 9.6

Xmen 133 best guess 9.8

Will let you know how they come out when I hopefully get them back in the next month or so.

Til next time...
