STORY TITLE:

"To Hunt The Hunter"

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

This was the 1st one that started this Set. I had received an alert on my computer of a new New Mutants 9.8 was available and when I checked on there was both a Buy it Now price as well as a Bid minimum. Originally thinking I may get this one at a steal and simply bid a few dollars but instead opted against it and chose to hit Buy it Now. I guess the decision came down to the fact that it was decently priced anyways and really why take a chance on it and miss out if for some reason I can’t get back on later in the night/morning when the auction came to a close.

About a week later after already having input this one in my New Mutants Set I realized that there was another Set I could also place it in. The Liefeld Set. It was this Set that really opened my eyes to the “What are You Doing K???” of collecting as you can’t claim to have the best of something if you can’t show your dedication to it. So from this single issue rose the idea that I needed to own complete and hopefully one day at least challenge the two largest collectors of the New Mutants in Tnerb and Bagofleas.

SO HOW MANY ARE THEIR K???

So this one is a little better than the rest as far as availability. Total of 56 have been graded with 34 as 9.8’s and only 4 currently holding the coveted slot as 9.8SS. Rounding out the total there are 13 9.6’s, 5 9.4’s, and 3 9.2’s. Not to rare as I was able to locate three others for sale on the bay but still it wasn’t too easy in getting one at an affordable price.

ANY PLANS FOR THIS ONE???

Of course. This is one Set I would like to have signed by Liefeld on every issue. Some don’t really enjoy him or love his ability to draw feet or giant over-sized chests but he is the reason this Set is here. I mean it’s not called the Simonson Set right???

DID YOU MEET YOUR GOAL???

Nope, and aside from purchasing a 9.8 graded copy of this one I am pretty much stuck for now. The case itself has a decent enough crack in it so when I get back I plan to find out what Rob Liefeld’s next set of appearances are so that I can either meet up with him or have this slab sent off for a facilitator to get signed.

*Edit* DONE, this one was another one of the trifecta books I sent up for double signatures from Rob Liefeld and Tom DeFalco. Funny how things come together. To date the only individuals I need left to sign any of these would be Todd McFarlane, Fabian Niceza, and Mark Bagley. Love how many of these books have been signed double and or triple but having Liefeld sign everyone of them has been amazing. Although for my next trick if I win set of the year I plan to get the creators for this set to sign and then slab my certificate.

SO HOW DID YOU GET THIS ONE???

This one was all part of an ebay sale. I have my iphone set to receive alerts anytime certain issues are listed on ebay and this just happened to be one of those. Anyways so I see the alert and log on to see a Buy it Now price of roughly $20 or a bid opportunity. The seller notes there is obvious damage to the slab (Has a good crack in a corner) but there is no damage to the comic itself. Knowing I will eventually break this one free of its confines to be signed I initially place in a bid. Problem came when it stated are you sure? I saw that four others were watching this very one and in a moment of what the hell I decide to go ahead and purchase at their asking price. Figure it was cheaper than what I would have purchased anyways and at least this way I was relieved of the headache and worry when those final seconds of bidding come in.

MY TYPE OF SUMMARY:

I am currently waiting for this one to download onto my iPad. So once its complete I will recap everything shortly in the next few days in my own words.
