It’s back! Because nobody asked for it!

My latest deep and dangerous dive into the CGC census.

(With thanks to Greg Holland’s cgcdata.com website and Excel's sort feature.)

I think Greg Reece and sons are responsible for a lot of changes with those awesome Westerns they uncovered. 

The last time I looked was in January of this year. Since then...
7 first time 9.8s popped up on the census.
2 first time 9.6s popped up on the census.
1 first time 9.4 popped up on the census.

For the first time, I noticed how tough some issues of Thor and Subby are to find in 9.8.

Of the 388 Picture Frame books total, there are:
103 books without a 9.8 (it was 110 as of 1/31/21)
44 books with 1 9.8+
35 books with no 9.6+ (was 37)
11 books with no 9.4+ (was 12)
6 books with no 9.2+
2 books with no 9.0+

Love when you do this! Such great info - can't believe there are still two books that don't have a 9.0.
