| I’d say I had a VERY successful weekend at our local Con! First off, I knocked not one, but TWO books off my ASM 1-20 run. The other two were just bonuses. The #43 is fairly sharp. The others are placeholders, until I upgrade them.  A few early-ish X-Men books for good measure. After I finish ASM 1-20, X-Men 1-66 are my next goal.  Some moderns that caught my eye.  I saw Amy Chu had a booth, so, on day two, I brought this TPB for her to sign. She informed me that this trade was only printed once. She herself hadn’t seen one in years. I had no clue.   Tone Rodriguez (who also worked on the “Tremors” comic) did a sketch for my wife on his “Treehouse of Horrors” art book.  Then the big boy! After like four years of discussion, one of the vendors finally sold me his Tarzan #1 (DELL, 1948) from his personal collection.  |

 I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery.

| Spider-Man #1 Second Printing Gold Edition PSA 9.8. This is my first PSA graded book. The first thing I noticed was the weight of the slab. It weighs 1.8 lbs. versus 1 lb. for the CBCS and the cgc graded books. It's a noticeable weight difference in hand. The second thing I noticed were the Newton rings. There aren't a ton of them, but they are there. I don't hate it, but it is different. I don't like the label. The worst of the bunch. It's like the book is enclosed inside a fortress and then the fortress is inside the slab. I'd buy more if I came across something I wanted in a PSA slab. The bottom line though is CBCS > PSA > the cgc.   |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| @DrWatson they should make the front of the label look more like the back. That blue color is more appealing. | ||
