Hold one second... that one TTLR #13 only has 1.75%. This one, Confessions #11 has 7.02%. That should change this a bit, right?

Man, this has been fun. What am I gonna do without my daily wake up and get my Spawn update? Looking forward to where you want to take this next, and hope to see your other stuff on the boards here and elsewhere! Just buy what ya love and you'll always be happy. Bring on the lists!

That's a good top 5, well done sir!

Glad to help the addiction, I mean collection!

I got this from MCS, didn't even realize it was a NS until it was pointed out to me (on the left):

In addition to those MCS pickups, I added in these 2. Totally random, but I was reminded while diving in my boxes that I missed these 2 when they came out. Pull lists weren't perfect back in the day. The Kraven book was so popular that it went from a 7-issue series to a 6. Can't have a high print run. The Redemption book was part of the clone madness, of course.

Rolling on with the Hobgoblin collection! Picked up a new one that wasn't even on my radar, Spider-Man: The Parker Years. This one only has 16 in 9.8 and 22 on the census. Looks good in the slab with the wrap cover too. It's mainly a flashback book that was during the clone madness, but my man is front and center on the cover so it was an easy call. I didn't even realize it was a NS copy until it arrived.

Thanks! Glad it's approved, because I've got a new one! 1st Hydro-Man:

Thanks for the great Spidey slabs! Smooth and easy! Recommended!

Sweet new book in today! PPSSM #90 with an awesome Black Cat cover and Spidey all over the place. 9.8 WP (of course) and signed by Al Milgrom! 1st black costume in this title too.

I hope Spawn is still selling. I've got a run from 1-113 and other Spawn titles (Curse Of, Sam & Twitch, etc...) I'm looking to move!

Looks like Kim Novak likes to gamble...

Ok, we've got a new one! While not one of my favorite covers it is kinda cool. Spidey riding the back of Hobgoblin is pretty awesome! Also - and more importantly - this is the last Hobgoblin cover I needed in 9.8 below his "death" in #289. He did make a noted appearance in a few other issues (working on them) but this was the last "original" cover I needed in this title. I've got a #312 so from there I've go up to after his "resurrection" and get the newer ones. So here we go, ASM #286:

This is the coolest thing I'll hear all week.

Just going over the covers... this one: How jealous is she? I mean, she's hiding in the bushes like groundskeeper Willie! She's a 1/2 step away from being Carl from Caddyshack! And these 2 are in the grass and draped in tree cover. Are the making out or playing hide and go seek? I mean, can't they just go dancing and have martinis like everyone else?

I thought maybe we'd get 2 more, vote for best 3 of 10 and then another to finish it all off - but it's not my poll. Also - Thanks again for doing this @adamstrange! Now, let's continue to criticize everything that's wrong.

Ok.. 1 other opinion.... this one: Is a fantastic cover. You get 4 babes for the price of 1! But is it really a romance cover? It's more of a teen/humor book. The issue after it had a friggin' gorilla on it! Eventually it goes full romance, but whereas this is a great cover I couldn't vote for it as I don't consider it a real romance cover.

I love this one and it got my vote. The perspective, the MOON, the MANDALS! I love the TTLR run, but how some of them got in over this one I dunno.

I wanna say Cap... but Batman did have a gun for a bit too...

Power 2 @ $610 not bad for a 2.5. Spook 26 @ $562 sounds about right. Holiday 5 @ $455 is pretty darn good for an ungraded 4.0! I was happy to see that! 4Most v8#5 - $810!!! Holy shnikies! I did NOT see that coming! Ungraded, pretty well creased up TRC, and an often overlooked adventure title. The only think I can think of is that there's only 1 on the census in 4.0. It's a great cover, but that's one heck of a result! I didn't have my 4Most issues pegged to be in my next submission, but I may have to rethink that...

That's fair. I just think because the Hobgoblin story was going on since #238 and ran through #289 that his 1st app may be a well-known # to go off of, and #252 was in the middle of that. #229 was 6/82, and #252 was 5/84 if it sways opinions.

Then I have 2 more thanks to @wasonff! First up, 1st Spot! Next up, an UPGRADE! I still (for the moment) have my brown label 9.4 but now I have a proper copy for my 9.8 run - Spidey / Wolvie #1:

OK.... so I had mentioned that I was going to post another book (took me a minute to get it released to put into my registry set) but I wasn't 100% sure where to post it and if the above ASM #222 was in the right forum. I also posted #222 in the bronze forum and it seemed to get an ok. In the end (argue with me if you like, I'm open to ideas!) I decided that the line between ASM bronze and copper was #229. That issue starts the Roger Stern era, who did the Black Cat story a few issues prior to that, but then goes on a run for a few years. Also the Spidey logo in the upper right changes. It's not a big thing, but it helped me make a decision. In any case, here's another pickup, #235:

@adamstrange Is this correct for round 2? Popular Teen-Agers #15 - 17.95% Confessions of Love #14 - 16.24% True-to-Life Romances #10 - 9.4% Flaming Western Romances #3 - 8.55% Top Love Stories #10 - 7.69% Does that round out poll #2?

@adamstrange So do we have our top 5? Looks like: Popular Teen-Agers #5 - 12.96% Top Love #8 - 9.26% True-to-Life Romances #19 - 9.26% True-to-Life Romances #15 - 9.26% Confessions of Romance #8 - 8.33% Is this correct? In any case, if we disagree that these covers should have won I think we can agree that @PopKulture wins for sharing Anita with us...
