Just to confirm the "Best Custom Set" is considered a major category that also receives the plaque and grading credit too right? If so is the plaque sent to address on file? I only humbly ask because some of these other sets are next level! Thanks!

Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind words.

Thank you so much! It's a great feeling to see the warm reception people have had to this set. It took a lot of time and energy, so it a big sigh of relief to finish this project. How do I go about adding the annual #1 to the standard set or even a newsstand set for that matter? Are you in charge of this or do I have to make a formal request in one of the posts on this chat board? The Annual is such an interesting book for me. I stumbled on a box X-Men Annual #1 newsstands so I've been lucky enough to extract a few 9.8s from that box. I'll just say that that there weren't that many NM 9.8 copies in that box.

Here's my first registered custom set! https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/WCM/ComicCustomSetView.aspx?s=33402 I finally completed this Jim Lee X-Men (1991) blue label, white pages CGC NM/M 9.8 Newsstand Edition set! This set features all the connecting issue #1s, issues #2 to #11 where Jim had worked on the interiors, and X-Men Annual #1 where Jim drew the iconic cover that showcases the group running into battle. Some may appreciate how hard getting high grade newsstands editions can be, so hopefully can appreciate this 15 book newsstand set. It took almost two years to collect all 15 newsstand issues graded in 9.8 since I personally acquired each newsstand issue raw, pressed them myself, and painstakingly submitted to CGC over many months. Through out this period I resisted buying them already graded on Ebay as a personal challenge (but also because most were quite expensive and many issues were impossibly rare to find as newsstand 9.8s). While there were a few that I eventually purchased from other collectors and through Ebay to replace the "lower quality" 9.8 copies I owned, I'm proud to say I was able to personally press and grade each issue to get them to a CGC 9.8 grade!
