Roger Cruz - X-Men Alpha 1 pg. 32 (Age of Apocalypse)

Well, this was one of those massive regrets from early on in my collecting days. Long before sniping services were available. I still vividly remeber this piece when it was on ebay back in the summer of 2001. I had it watched, and I kept reminding myself to bid on it when the time came. Then, in typical me fashion, I forgot. It sold for either just under or over 200. Age of Apocalypse is up there with Death of Superman, and X-Men 25, as the pinnacle of my adolescent comic book reading. I can't count how many times I've read that one shot. So I was GUTTED when I realized I forgot to bid on this... Now, 14 years later, the universe has been set right, and I have corrected that wrong... Albeit at a much higher cost!
