Fallen Angels , that is!!!

Being a HUGE fan of the New Mutants, I have been looking into acquiring some of the Fallen Angels 8 issue mini series.

I have scoured the web in search of any of the copies that I felt might have a chance at reaching the high grades. As many of you know, doing this over the web is NOT easy.

Not being able to actually hold and closely look over the issues makes it extremely difficult to know exactly what you are getting. You have to rely on what the seller tells you, and I am sure I dont have to tell you that what one person feels is 9.8 worthy is not what another feels to be the same.

I have had my share of triumph and tragedy doing this before, so I was extremely selective this time around. I managed to find what appeared to be worthy copies of all 8 issues in one listing.

When they arrived, I tore eagerly into them, pulled out my loupe, and proceeded to examine them intensely! After a thorough eyeballing, I came to the conclusion that these were all 9.8 possibilities!

#1 was the only one I was not totally sure about, but I believe even it has a good chance after a pressing!

But instead of just racing out and getting them submitted, I looked up the creators in order to search for SS opportunities. And I found some!

So as of right now, I have 5 of them in process and 3 waiting until the Baltimore show.

When it is all said and done, here is how my Fallen Angels will FALL OUT...

#1, #2, #3 and #7 are currently being graded.

#4 is currently being processed by Desert Wind Comics for Val Mayerick SS

#5 will be double signed at Baltimore by Mayerick and Joe Staton

#6 will also be SS x2 at Baltimore by Mayerick and Mike Mignola

#8 will be signed at Baltimore by Joe Staton

Ok, my unstoppable Flea Ring Circus! Get on over to Sarasota and MAKE those graders give them high grades! Haaaahahahaha....

Anyway, hopefully these will all come back 9.8s, but if not, I will still put them into my registry set. After all, most of these will be OAKs no matter what the grade!

Below is a picture of the 3 issues that are awaiting Sigs in Baltimore!
