Personal Thoughts
This copy is not my original copy of the New Mutants. My original copy is graded a 6.0 and has that huge UPC code in place of Spider-Man's face. In fact this isn't even my first 9.8 copy, which was sold to another member of the registry. This comic I picked up at the same place I purchased the aforementioned 9.8 and I swore it would attain a gem mint 10, easily.
This naivety was based off the assumption I knew something. It was also because of the belief that the back cover has to be as nice as the front cover. So when I narrowed down a few books to get signed by Stan Lee, this was one of them. It came back a 9.6. I could deal with that, especially after what I learned from the experience. Many of my experiences with CGC were because I was willing to put my money where my mouth was.
I decided that this book should have another signature on it, so not even after a year I had it signed by Bob McLeod. This time it dropped to a 9.4. Now, the shame began to take hold. A 9.4 was like being a step-child. OK, I am a step-Child and to be honest, it feels great, but if you can't make fun of the idea of a red headed step-child being under appreciated, how can I show the despair I felt becoming the owner of such a low grade, by modern age standards.
At Wizard World 2013, I turned this book over with my Daredevil #1 (*see Daredevil #1...that is how you do it Marvel, with an "*" next to a foot note, not a brand new issue one again and again and again.)
I only wanted Matt Nelson to look at it, because if it couldn't attain a 9.8, I didn't want it pressed and graded again without asking him first.. I walked around, but it was too late. The only answer I got was that they both could improve in grade with a press. It was a long harrowing weekend not knowing what the grade was. I was in agony. Do you know what it is like to have to wait THREE WHOLE DAYS to get your grades back, I mean that is almost equivalent to being four weeks late after a promised 36 business day turnaround.
My Daredevil #1 went up to a four (check it out) and The New Mutants #1 went up to a 9.8. I have dabbles with the idea of selling it, but can i really get rid of a double signature?
