Set Description
BooZeR's Kick-Ass Set
I am a huge fan of John Romita JR's, so when this came out back in early 2008 I had to get it. And it blew me away! Now I'm also a big fan of Mark Millar's.
I've not only been trying get this set in all 9.8s, but also signature series. The Umpteenth printings raws have been the hardest to find in a high grade, but I only need the #4 Umpteenth Printing in 9.8 (currently have a 9.6), and #3 Second Printing (also have a 9.6). The #3 Second Printing has also been a pain in the butt, but I have a few raws that look good that I will get signed by either JR JR or Mark Millar, or both, before subbing to CGC.
I was lucky enough to meet Mark Millar at C2E2 in 2018 and got to hang out with him a bit. I had cracked open seven of my blue label 9.8s to get signed by him and lo-and-behold they all came back the same grade. I also cracked three 9.8s for JR JR to sign at NYCC 2019, but those are still with CGC. The ones I cracked for JR JR were #3, #3 Umpteenth Printing, and #6, all of which were doubles. Too scary to crack open an Umpteenth Printing since they are so hard to find. If they come back 9.8s, then I will only need 9 more signed (out of 23) to complete my 9.8 signature series set of Kick-Ass.
