The funny thing is that it only took 2.5 years to find all 5 issues. When I started it I figured it would take MUCH longer.

Here is one of the Shasta codes. Bonus points if you can figure out the issue:bigsmile:

It's from JIM 67. Tough to guess given the lack of clues.

That is interesting. My Shasta's date 3 months prior to the issue month. The JIM 67 is an April issue.  The 2-9 date, which I assume is Feb. 9, threw me off.

It's actually a pretty sophisticated use of color on Strange Worlds #3, to highlight the difference between seeing the monster through the glass or not.  Can't think of any other examples, especially from that time period, unless maybe this one.

Just saw this:

Best Silver Age Sets

Sweet Lou 14 - X-Men (1963) #1-#143
There has been a multitude of upgrades since this set last won "BEST IN SET TYPE" IN 2018. This is an extremely controlled, consistent condition set. It starts with a very nice 9.0 1st issue. Issues #2-93 are ALL 9.4. Issues #94-120 are ALL 9.6. Issues #121-143 are ALL 9.8. AMAZING! Nearly all are photographed for our viewing pleasure. Great job assembling this wonderful set! And thank you for sharing it with us!!

Big Congrats to @Sweet Lou 14 and all the other award winners!
