And the Runner up is...

[Tnerb]

This was so much fun why do I have to stop at ten?

 

I looked over my books and wrote a list of ten. A month later I did it again. Then I looked over my original top five when Surfer 99 originally posted the question. Then I made my list again. Finally I listed the ten that you have spent the last couple of weeks reading about.

With such books that include keys and memories what book could possibly push a book off from its spot. What do I possibly have that could even compete? Will these books still be here a year from now? Could my copy of X-Men#109 make the list one day? Will my Incredible Hulk make it if it can press from a 9.4 to a 9.8? Might my Crazy #3 in a 1.0 push its way in rather rudely if not violently?

 

So my runner up is...

 

My X-Men 109 9.8 SS is the lone copy out of the 830 graded, 48 of which reached the pinnacle 9.8 grade and this was the only one to have Chris Claremont's scrawl on a book I only purchased to get a multi book discount.

 

Thanks for Reading

Dude, the X-men #109 has to beat the New Mutants #47! That book you have is amazing! I was also surprised to see ASM #252 was ranked higher than New Mutants #1.

ASM 252 surprised me, as well.... hmmm.... it makes me wonder what my list might look like considering I'm in a completely different era... I don't feel like I have enough books to make a top ten, but may have to put some thought into it....

 

Thanks again tnerb, great journals!!!!

HammershipDown, make a top five. That's what I did when Surfer 99 first posed the question.

 

Surfer 99 The New Mutants 47 for a time was the only 9.8 and when i purchased it I was just getting into the the CGC side of comics. I believe if it wasn't for this book and the good nature of Bagofleas congratulating me on it's purchase rather than call me any sort of names showed me that this was indeed a community I wanted to be part of.

 

Let's see what Happens next year.
