Wayyyy back on August 18 of this summer, after work, I had stopped in on my Mom and Dad to shoot the breeze and make sure everything was going well with them before heading up for some well deserved unwinding with the Significant other and little girl. As I usually do I was perusing the Museum and E bay to see if there was anything out there that I could add to the ever expanding collection. As I was scrolling thru the marketplace and auction watch I came across the post for the listing of the Holy Grails of Spidermen... I had to look twice, I couldn't believe it, not 1 but both right there to be had... Was I too late??? Were there other offers??? My mind raced... What to do??? Can I afford one of these??? Can I afford both of these??? Can I afford any of these??? I start my hectic search for the owner... Before you know it I had found my man... Derek A.K.A Megospidy... Let the negotiations begin!!! It seemed everything was all going on at 1 time I was doing everything... Penning the offer to message...texting my Brother to keep him in the loop... in the background my Mother and girl conversing and all I could hear was the Charlie Brown teacher voice coming from them waaa waaa waaa waaa. The first e mail was away " VERY INTERESTED, HOPE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT FOR 1 OR BOTH, MY LITTLE GIRL WAS ENAMORED WITH THESE AT THE MEET"... How long would I have to wait for a response? Would there be a response? Were they sold? Almost immediately there was a response... Opening the message felt like the opening of presents on Christmas morning... The anxiety, the anticipation to see what was inside...Response from Derek "I know I said I would never sell them because my boys loved them, BUT..." AND THERE IT WAS!!! The opening to the reality that if we could come to an agreement they would be mine 
, 3 more messages each, a few texts from my brother for moral support and validity of what I was doing was the right thing, the continued WAAA WAAA WAA WAA from the little lady and mother and they were both mine!!! First contact was 8:48 P.M. and by 9:13 P.M. the deal was done... The Diamond Suit Spidy arrived not long after September 28 and The Broken Circle arrived Yesterday. In 3 more weeks the Peter Parker should be in the Bronx as well. THAT'S A STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME LOL
Once again thank you to Derek!!!
