Description

Yep, Heritage got me with this one! I know a lot of the older/younger guys, who missed the 80's Transformers era, thought I was nuts for going after this piece. But after seeing this one pop up during one of the Heritage auction previews, I came back to visit the image on the site on a daily basis. Read this comic multiple times as a kid and the cover image was ingrained in my 11-year-old head. I knew I was going to have to pull out all the stops if I wanted this one in the collection. Especially since HA decided to put it on the cover of their catalog! I knew I was in trouble. Bidding opened strong and just as I was about to throw in the towel, HA's auctioneer told "me" I was going to regret it the next morning if I didn't put in one final bid (give that man a raise). If you consigned this piece, you owe the under bidder and that auctioneer a beer! It was a big chunk to put down on a single piece, but so worth it every time that nostalgia hits when I see it!
