Very cool. Should be fun to see how the CAF community reacts to this. Should at least beat the 137 comments on your Wolverine page. Will this be the first CAF piece to break 200 comments? Not sure where your collection goes from here, but I can't wait to see you top this puppy. Congratulations!

I knew it existed, I heard the news, I tried to figure out the auction details to be a fly on the wall and figured I would never actually see this other than the fun video that Jim Lee made. It's soooooo great to see this on here in the CAF family of comic art collectors. Huge congrats doesn't do it justice, it's more than a grail piece, nuff said!
WOW!!!

I like to pretend there's a little metal in the paper, and Magneto is the one holding these pages together. Don't mind me. I'll mop up my own drool, and I'll barely take up any bandwidth here in the corner. Just pretend I'm not here. :drool:

I am lucky enough to have 2 personal precious Grail's, the 4 part Legion Giffen poster and the front & back of Adventure Comics 500 ( also Giffen) which took years to reunite, so on one level I can appreciate the sheer joy you must experience looking at the art on a daily basis. Beyond that, it is an iconic slice of X Men history and I know it is in the best & safest of hands. Congratulations and I hope your enjoyment of it only grows over time.
