Grendel & Sandman

When it rains, it pours? Ask and ye shall receive? I dunno, but I solved the Grendel problem and somehow ended up with two complete sets for... well... for a very very nice price. :)
Then there's this book. I originally had a copy of this (it's a limited edition "Platinum" copy, which is why it's "special") back in the early 90's. At the same time, however, comic book trading cards were kind of all the rage. And getting the chase card holograms was considered cool by the kids I hung out with. (I'm looking at you Junior Duncan) I was in the comic store in Hickory where they happened to have all of the holograms I was missing from my set. For whatever reason, I decided that the first time I would have ever traded a comic book to a store would be to trade my original copy of this book for those cards. God, I was stupid. So the other day, I picked this up from someone at CGC as a 9.0/9.2. When it arrived, the mail wench had folded the freaking thing in half so she could shove it in the mailbox. Obviously it's no longer a NM book, which is extremely sad. But at least I've got it back. And signed in gold by Gaiman too.
