This was so much fun why do I have to stop at ten?

I looked over my books and wrote a list of ten. A month later I did it again. Then I looked over my original top five when Surfer 99 originally posted the question. Then I made my list again. Finally I listed the ten that you have spent the last couple of weeks reading about.

Here they are listed in its entirety...

With such books that include keys and memories what book could possibly push a book off from its spot. What do I possibly have that could even compete? Will these books still be here a year from now? Could my copy of X-Men#109 make the list one day? Will my Incredible Hulk make it if it can press from a 9.4 to a 9.8? Might my Crazy #3 in a 1.0 push its way in rather rudely if not violently?

So my runner up is...

My X-Men 109 9.8 SS is the lone copy out of the 830 graded, 48 of which reached the pinnacle 9.8 grade and this was the only one to have Chris Claremont's scrawl on a book I only purchased to get a multi book discount.

Thanks for Reading
