I set out certain goals for my CGC sets so I wanted to see how they match up with my results.

1.My goal was to move into second place in All American Men of War. I wrote that first place was "completely out of the question" but I was helped by a few tops sets being dismantled and managed to reach the top spot. This is the first set I've ever reached number one in. It's not a particularly competitive set but it's also not an obscure one so I'm proud to be at the top. We'll see if I can maintain my position.

2.Write up an essay on All-American Men of War. Done.

3.Move up to fourth spot in Captain Marvel Adventures. Again, I was helped by some barricades removing themselves so I now find myself surprisingly in second place. This was definitely the set I invested most heavily in.

4.Maintain my second place position in Western Comics. I actually was bumped down to third place for awhile based on a competitors single high grade 9.8 issue which was more valuable than my combined collection. I have since reclaimed my second place position although I lead by only 11 points.

5.Get one more nice Golden Age World's Finest comic. I have my eye on one but never ended up getting a single issue in 2012. There was just too much other stuff attracting my attention.

6. Improve the images and description of my comics. The descriptions are much better but I discovered that most home scanners cannot scan a CGC case so I still continue to use images I pulled off the web when I bought the comics.

All in all it was a darn successful year for my collections.
