Absolutely stunning...I wish I could afford some pages like that one. One Day...

I used to own the page 1 splashes to X-Men 5, 9 & 11. How the mighty have fallen

I think the one I liked the most was the Pre-Lim Giant Size X-Men 1 by Gil Kane you had. If I remember correctly it had Nightcrawler in a different outfit.

Yeah that was cool, the guy i sold it too still has it.

Was it just pencils, or pencils and inks on the Giant Size Pre-Lim? If it was just Pencils I would find it very hard to display. Just pencils tend to degrade over time. Is there anyway of displaying a pencil piece without having it degrade?

This is the one piece I regret not making an attempt to buy it:

1976 - Paul McCartney and Wings | Jack Kirby Museum Research Center

I remember the ad for it in Goldmine Magazine. My friend who ran a record store in Patchogue used to get Goldmine all the time and would give them to me after he was done looking through it. I think, memory isn't what it used to be, the seller wanted $3000 for it at the time. Right now that would be a bargain for a Kirby piece of this nature...but we're talking 17 years ago I just didn't have the scratch for it.
