This is my first CGC acquisition since early September 2014 but it's a big one. Captain Marvel Adventures #56 is my second ever 9.6 and it's an issue I've been eyeing literally for years and it's likely to be my biggest pickup for the next few years.

I may actually be picking up a second, far less costly, CMA issue within the next week but after that I may have another half year break as I gather my funds. I have a very strict budget and my purchases are all plotted out for the next few years barring changes in availability. My goal remains gaining the top position in Captain Marvel Adventures and issue 56 gives me a very nice 1800 registry points. Currently I need at least 1874 registry points per year to achieve the top spot within my 10 year plan and this single issue nearly gets me all the points I need for 2015. This comic will also put me back into the top 500 registry points which I have a goal of staying within.

I haven't added the issue to my registry yet because of something weird in the registry. When I go into an individual issue and modify the OWNER'S DESCRIPTION I have no problem. However, when I tried to add issue 56 by going into EDIT SET I got an error on 7 issues that I had exceeded the 6000 character limitation. I'm not sure why I can exceed 6000 in OWNER'S DESCRIPTION but not EDIT SET. The only solution I can see is to go into those 7 issues and modify the descriptions to get them under 6000 characters.
