I've always wondered how all these new titles keep popping up. Are the majority of the new titles that show up in the census modern books? Good work, as usual

Superb job VMan! Like always!

[Murph]

I meant the 1,700 something increase in TITLES. I'm curious what new titles are being added, I would've thought at this point most pre-MA titles have had at least 1 book submitted but obviously not. Thx for the info.

Is there a way on your site that I can find out which 22 books form the 1930's were added?

 

Thanks so much for putting this all together!

[Timely]

Thanks Valiantman, the MMC #64 and 66 are my copies.

Ahh... ok.

 

The 1,723 refers to new books with the first copy CGC graded recently.

For example, Master of Kung Fu 39 was first graded in the past two months.

Not on the site... most of these requests are pretty tough to "automate" in a webpage.

But I can check by hand...

 

I just have a quick list of counts for these... not the exact grades.

You should be able to find the recent universal grades by clicking

"show recent grades" for any books listed on my site.

And how many moderns did you need to submit to achieve this statistic?

[EggsAckley]

Were any of the new 10.0's from pre-1980?

[valiantman]

Were any of the new 10.0's from pre-1980?

It doesn't look like it.

New CGC 10.0s: http://www.gregholland.com/cgc/New10s.txt

 

The oldest "new 10" is Amazing Fantasy 16 (1995)

All of the others on the list are 2003 or 2004 books.

[Darthdiesel]

Great job Greg! Thank you!

[dolphinsrwj]

it looks like there is another 9.8 for amaz spiderman #301

[sfilosa]

Just remember the New Highest Compilation list was my idea.

 

This is great info as usual. Pretty much all the new Atlas books (i.e. Spellbound and Mystic) issues are in Heritage's April auction. I'm glad they updated the census before then.

 

Amazing how many books CGC is grading in a two month period.
