Picking a Grail

There are a few grails I would love to get in a high grade. Once upon a time I picked ten books that one day, I would like to have in a 9.2 or higher. A 9.2 is respectable, but a 9.4 is desirable and a 9.6 would be a blessing. Dare I dream higher? The two books that come to mind are both tied to Daredevil, although not Daredevil titles themselves.

I remember reading Amazing Spider-Man 16 over and over again. The Circus of Crime gave both DD and Spidey a battle. The only thing was, it wasn't ASM 16, it was Marvel Tales 154. When I first glanced at the original, I thought, "What tomfoolery is this?". I mean why couldn't Marvel just start over at a number one so I wouldn't be confused?

Eventually I hope to find at least a 9.2 of this great book and the other one is 34 issues later where arguably the best Daredevil villain was ever created. With space becoming an issue and a budget newly imposed, couldn't I go after the cremè de la cremè? Both issue 16 and 50 are on my radar and have been for a while. Since I already got a 9.2 of Iron Man 55, oh wait, an 8.0. I forgot that it dropped. It will be safe to say, once I get those grails...I won't be cracking...I hope.

Thanks for Reading
