We all have senior moments....mine come with increasing frequency! You've got all of the first issues across the eleven titles and ASM/ FF #s 1-10, so with patience and a bit of luck the 'missing' numbers should show up for reasonable prices in the not too distant future. Keep us posted on your progress.

I agree with all of those but believe there is actually a 'first eleven' of early SA Marvel titles which includes X-Men. Also, I wondered if you have AF #15 to supplement your ASM #s1-10 set? Still, it's quite an achievement to be just eleven issues away from completing first ten issue runs of those ten titles. Best of luck in hunting down the missing numbers.

As a matter of interest, could you let us know what you regard as being the first ten early SA Marvel titles?

Hi Brian Assuming we're going to benchmark future registry scores against Overstreet 9.2 values then I've identified a number of books where there there is currently a variance of circa 50% or more between registry 9.2 points and current Overstreet (Volume 52) value in that grade. As such I'd be grateful if you could review registry points on the following books. Many thanks for considering.

I remember it well. In fact Poyntons are still trading in the Derbion Shopping Centre and continue to carry an awesome array of new magazines, but not many new comics. Derby outdoor market on the Morledge in the 1960s was also a great place to buy 'old' American comics as well as copious quantities of Fantastic and Terrific. Everything was 6d. and the proprietor didn't feel the need to mark them up with a felt pen. Anything over two years old made you feel like you'd discovered an ancient -script!

Very informative and most humble of Buscema to say he learned from Jack. Interesting though that the two panels of Ben intimidating Sue immediately after the Thing/ Thor panel are in fact from FF #110...drawn by Buscema.

Thanks Brian, much appreciated. Look forward to further announcements as and when you have them, including criteria for making biannual adjustments to scores and what level of participation will be allowed for collectors.

Brian - this doesn't seem terribly optimistic considering this topic started over three months ago and the This Score Needs Fixin' thread was locked down last September. Many good and thoughtful ideas have been put forward since then so could you let us know if you have any timescales in mind to complete this review and institute a new Registry scoring system?

Thanks for the update Mike - much appreciated.

Can someone from CGC explain what the current problem is and when they expect to resolve it so that we don't have undertake these workarounds to update our sets.

+1 All requests were submitted in good faith under the review system as it was then understood and at the time the thread was locked down Brian did commit to fulfil all remaining requests. It would also be interesting if Brian could update us on any timescales for drafting and issue of proposals for a new Registry scoring model. Many thanks.

Hi Brian Could you take a look at a couple more Silver Age books which I inadvertently omitted from my previous post. Many thanks.

Hi Brian I'd like to request a few more reviews for Silver and Bronze books where Registry points have slipped behind current market trends. For convenience I've used the 9.4 grade as an indicator of market trends for specific books in order to compare current registry points with latest reported GPA sales prices as per the table below.

Thank you for all of the updates you've processed over the last few days Brian. Another tremendous job, it is much appreciated. Jon No problem, Sir. It is my pleasure,

Hi Brian In addition to the books in my previous post, could you also take a look at a couple of others where there have been recent sales in grades other than CGC 9.4 which suggest Registry points values have fallen behind current market trends: Fantastic Four Annual #2 - origin of Doctor Doom Recent GPA sales: 9.6 - $36000 - November 2021 9.0 - $4551 - September 2021 7.5 - $1875 - January 2022 Journey into Mystery #103 - first appearance of Enchantress and Executioner Recent GPA sales: 9.0 - $3720 - November 2021 8.5 - $2500 - June 2021 7.5 - $1325 - December 2021 Once again, thanks for considering.
