Great stuff! Thank you for posting.

Do you think this means 24,000 sheets in total were printed?

Yes, I think that's what it means. Although I guess it's always possible that there was more than one production order.

Here's some pretty obscure info about this set...I believe these are the actual printing orders Topps gave to the Zabel Bros. print shop ordering production of the stickers.

Possibly later tonight. It's been a busy day. Are there any books in particular that you're interested in?

Yes, X-Men 114, thanks!

Are scans of the other books coming soon?

From time to time I see CGC slabs that appear unusual, and it makes me wonder what about the particular comic led to using a particular slab. I can't figure out what is going on with the Batman 248 below. I see that the microchamber paper has slid out, but why does the bottom of the comic seem so far above the bottom of the inner well? Does it indicate the comic was somewhat oversized and too tall for the normal holder?

This is the GSXM 1 I've had for 24 years now. Still in search of the 94 of my dreams...

The copy I bought off the rack in 1982!

Chipping away at my high grade Byrne X-Men run (which I've been building and perfecting since the early eighties). I think I need six more now...

I think this may be an improvement...

Sorry mate -- the only changes from worse to better seem to involve undoing a mistake....

Good Detective.....

Bad Detective....

Another logo change I was not fond of....

Love the first Avengers logo, hate the second....

Not on topic, but still seems appropriate

The 227 is a great 9.4!

Anyone own any Bat Montereys? The mid 70s Montereys are crazy perfect...

Bronze bats book of the evening...about 20 years ago, Showcase New England ran a CBG ad with an entire collection, every book graded 9.8. Surely over graded, I thought, but ordered a few modest books to assess. This was one of them, and the grade was legit!

Latest pickup....

Here's another thread you might enjoy...

Love them! Happens to be my own collecting focus as well!
