I like it!

I was obnoxiously pleased with myself on that phrase...

"And if we’re really dreaming, OMAC"

Fortunately, for me, I bought that series when it arrived at the LCS.

I'm glad I got back into collecting and buying back issues and the like (yes, including OMAC) back in 1992-93.  It seemed as though a lot of books (not all) had dropped in price (percentagewise) and I was able to grab stuff for a song.  This was all pre-omnibus, however, and pre-every iteration of "The Dark Phoenix Saga" under the sun.   

Apps like eBay allow everybody to see what others are paying whereas for years, the only really easy way to see prices at any given time were the yellow Mile High ads (always at a premiums) and maybe the price guide.

How many of us wanted to sell books based on the price guides only to be told, "It's like it says, it's just a GUIDE."

@JB: how much input did you have on the printing for OMAC? I remember the production quality being pretty luxe.

An Artists Edition of OMAC would be something.
