    You've gotta be jokiing... Why do you have to drive to the post office? Walk or ride a bike.

    Two first startling issues for the summer of 1972. And if I may also direct your attention to the last panel of the left page, that is a very reasonable question for someone to ask.

    Superman #282 comes with a classic Superman gag:

    Snagged these books at a not-so-local comic shop before 2019 came to a close:

    Good start to the year. I saw that you picked up Venom #22 this week. I couldn't resist getting its variant yesterday. Sweet cover:

    Very nice. Never seen that edition before.

    This is the 4th-highest sale for a CGC 9.8 this year. There was a $4,150 sale for that book!

    Looking at the great books shown in this thread makes me realize I didn't acquire much of note the whole year! I'll have to up my game in 2020.

    I was only able to log on for about 2-3 minutes before it crapped out on me. For those that were able to use the site, are we still able to view a historical sales data for a particular grade and issue for each year as before? Previously, certification numbers were also listed. Is this information still available? I could not find this information when I was briefly on. Signed, Curious.

    That panel was the first one that came to mind.

    I'm no longer the lone top-census owner of this issue. I now have to make room for Greggy.

    Such a great resource. I really hope this re-emerges in the future.

    So glad they're finally reprinting these Spectre stories in an omnibus format. The Fleisher-Aparo run from Adventure Comics especially. Long overdue: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/NOV190560

    Doh! I'll see if I can knock those off those with my next submission (hopefully sooner than later).

    I put up a MCP #110 CGC 9.8 in the VCC earlier today!

    Aha! That was too easy! No longer any need to conduct a phone poll.

    I've submitted some of these MCP flip books for grading. My question is: when CGC grades a flip book, how do they determine which of the two covers goes at the front of the slab? I've noticed that in all the MCP flip books that I've had graded, CGC has always put the cover with the Wolverine title at the front of the slab. What, is he cooler? However, the 30th anniversary logos are only printed on one of the covers, which I've always considered the true front cover. I was thinking of setting up a phone poll to sort out this matter. Examples:

    Wow, this is an achievement. The back stories in putting this set together really shows how difficult it is to complete something like this. And when you're almost there, you never really know if you'll ever finish it. I've been chipping away at my TOD raw set in decent-enough grade for over 15 years and still haven't finished.

    Amazing set! I admire your dedication!

    Yup, in 2005 I started cataloging and maintaining my collection/hoard in Excel. I know exactly what I have, but I found it didn't help too much when I was at a store or con. I still picked up duplicate issues. I then sorted my spreadsheet and spit out a text file that I kept on my phone. I found that it was a pain to scroll through. Now I use a simple table that lists issues from specific titles/runs that I don't have or want to upgrade and that works best for me. When I get an issue, I just strike it off.

    Sweet!
