Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 2) Issue #1 Pg 24 ([ft Groot, Mantis, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Gamora, Star-Lord, Adam Warlock, Cosmo] Key naming page for the Modern Guardians of the Galaxy and early appearance of full team)

Congrats on getting this grail!!  

Thanks Paul. I have been working on this collection for a while and grabbing as many pieces to the puzzle I can find. There are a few of them left, but can't believe where it has come from when it started. I remember getting my first page for the collection that seemed to have slight importance because it talked about the Annihilation Conquest Star-Lord team coming together. The collection has come a long way since then and it has been fun having collectors like you along for the ride.

congrats on the personal grail and example from a GotG #1 issue, that feels like a big accomplishment for your collecting goals regardless of the key moment with Mantis being missing from the art board, it's still the art for THAT page and they still used his image of the character for that dialogue right? So we're up to 3 "naming" pages now...are there more!!?? haha :)

Only one more that I know of. I don't have it and my hope is that it doesn't come out for a while as I couldn't even move on it if it did. 3 of 4 ain't bad though as I was never sure I would even have one until a month ago. To me they are all epic. This just being a personal grail. Honestly, even though I posted these quick, as we all know with art, there are only one in the world. These will be a blip on everyones radar and will probably fall hidden in the collection over the next week or two. However, when you truly think of it. This is the beginning of a major pillar of Disney Marvel. In my mind it is incredible that I am the caretaker of these. An average Joe that took out an extra job to do stupid things like buy comic art and have an amazing wife that hasn't killed me for it yet lol.

It seems there are some holes in security.

I have holes!

So it's gonna be forever
And it's gonna go down in names
You can tell me Mantis over, mmm
If the buy was worth the pain
Got a long list of Pelletiers
He'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know raccoons are players
Drax you love the name

'Cause Guardians we're reckless
We'll take this page too far
Quill leaves you breathless, mmm
Or with Galaxy art
Got a long list of collectors
They'll tell Groot I'm insane
But Magyar has blank space, baby
And ink writes their name

Perfect pick up! Congrats!

Beautiful!

Huge congrats on getting this grail, and I am so glad it ended in the perfect home!!!
