Latest addition; up next...San Diego!

Well, I took my own advice and spent a little more on a book that has all the qualities I'm looking for: rare high grade issue from the Bronze age (only 9 of these on the CGC census to date...and it's the highest graded copy), a sweet battle cover, a guest appearance by my favorite character, and it even includes Chapter 1 of The Defenders vs. The Avengers epic battle (GREAT story!). Thank you finuga for parting with this one! The book also features a "bondage cover" showing Hawkeye and Valkerie trapped by the Red Ghost. Admittedly I don't understand the significance of this, but that's cool.

The only problem I have with buying this book now? I'm trying to save up for the San Diego Comic Con in July! Ugh! Oh well who knows, maybe I'll get there and I won't be able to find any good books. Yeah, that'll happen. Guess I'll have to get a second job to support my habit! Hey, don't judge me, it's not like I'm blowing it at the casino or at the bar or something. This is an investment! Besides, collecting comics is a blast and next to spending time in God's word or with my wife and kids, nothing else compares.

Til next time...
