Hi Matt- Would like to request Daredevil #226 be added to the set: ‘Daredevil - Miller Run. Part 2’ Frank Miller has a writing credit, just like the rest in this set (219, 227-233). thanks- Slot added on 1/12/21. Thank you

Wanted to mention a couple books which have skyrocketed in sales recently, to consider for score adjustment: ASM Annual #1 increased on 1/5/21. Secret Wars #8 could not be increased. Our system works off an algorithm and I cannot change the score for the 10.0 without grossly overvaluing the 9.8 and lower scores. 1. Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 (1st appearance of the Sinister Six). All grades have been steadily increasing in price this year. CGC 9.0 Off-White to White Pages sold in ComicLink auction this week for $14,361 (current points in grade = 6000). CGC 7.5 Off-White to White Pages sold in ComicLink auction this week for $4,211 (current points in grade = 1500). 2. Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars #8 (Origin of Spider-Man’s Black costume which eventually becomes Venom) CGC 10 GEM MINT sold in ComicLink auction this week for $32,255 (current points in grade = 1500) This highest grade (1 of 4 copies exist) has also had sales in past 2 years as well (GPA), $9,000 in February 2018 and $14,000 in May 2019.

Hi Matt- I didn’t recall seeing this request before, so please create a set for ‘Batman: Three Jokers’ - containing #1-3 with all variants. thanks! Hello @Lookin4Newsstands, There is a request from 11/3 for this set. Thank you

Hi Matt- if you can add Thor Annual 13 to the ‘Thor #337-#382 Simonson’ set - it has a Walt Simonson cover. Also, was wondering if it’s best to change the name of that set to Thor - Simonson Run. There was one issue in the #337-#382 run on that’s not in the set, since Simonson didn’t work on it. Additionally, I believe Annual 13 is the only Thor Annual in his run that he worked on. Thanks- Slot added on 11/25/20. I kept the name of the set the same since we are only adding the one annual book. Thank you
