DescriptionI enjoy watching auctions, even if I’m not bidding. I learn a lot, and honestly, it can be kind of vicarious fun if you’re not too vested in the results. I think about what pieces should be worth, and then watch to see if I was close. Sometimes, I totally don’t get why a piece goes for what it goes for – up or down. For example, there were are a lot of people surprised by the bidding on the cover to the X Men Annual #5 by Brent Anderson. It certainly caught me off guard.

Congrats Ron on this incredible cover and improbable reunion story. It's a stellar action-packed cover, a masterful composition with full X-men and FF teams all using their superpowers. Bravo!

Great story! All this to say that I think many of us would love a second crack at a piece we sold or didn't buy when we had the chance.

I'm jealous of this beauty in your possession. But the historical context of the era and prior ownership makes me happy for you.

Great Cover and an even greater story behind hit. Congrats on bringing it back where it belongs. Quite a premium to pay but well worth the memories.

A huge congrats Ron. I truly know the pain of having to get rid of pieces you don't want to at a time, and how much it means to get them back. Nostalgia is a powerful force, and makes getting pieces back all that more satisfying. So glad you won this beautiful cover and that it is indeed in the collection it most belongs.

Sometimes you read something and it makes you smile - what a brilliant story, just wonderful and a top notch cover to boot. Do you know anything of the hands it passed through in finding its way back to you Ron? Where it has been and what it has seen....... That would make the story even more fascinating. Sincerest congratulations. Enjoy

As much as I enjoy your historically oriented write ups, reading the PERSONAL history of this piece was even more satisfying. I talk a lot about fate and destiny in my gallery, and I think this is the ultimate example of that. Felix's comment literally took the words right out of my mouth (or should I say, right off my keyboard). I don't think I could be happier for another collector acquiring a piece. Congratulations Ron! I'm glad it found it's way home and that it's home to stay.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you after paying dearly, it was meant to be. ;) I truly am very happy for you and congratulations on your re-acquisition!

Hopefully you have learned your lesson! Buy portfolios so you can store the art in and then nobody you don't wish to see it, won't. If my wife ever tried to lecture me on selling my key pieces I would probably get divorced! All jokes aside I am really glad you were able to get it back, because you are "Ron".

I vividly recall one of my school friends brought this annual back to boarding school after the holidays and it did the rounds as us X-fan boys devoured it. Pure nostalgia all the way. Great that it found its way back to you although shame the dedication didn't deter the competition. So your name is Ron? ;o)
