All Lot #1 books are now registered except for two I can't find a home for

None of the 18 books in lot # 1 were graded 9.8, but a few were graded 9.6 and only one was graded below 9.0 (8.5). Still looking for sets to place the Alpha Flight Annual (1986) issue #1, and the Vision and the Scarlet Witch, issue #1(both Marvel). Any hints would be appreciated!

A Journey into CGC comic book trading

This journey began in my youth as a comic book reader. I liked Superman, and Scrooge McDuck comics best. Probably because in both, I could imagine things that I could never do on my own.
