Well it's time to check in on the HG Spidey Census and see what has transpired since January 2012...that's roughly 18 months folks! My intent is to show the toughest books by comparison of CGC graded books available in HG (high grade).

 

Sorry for the crappy presentation of the numbers (Sckao help!!!!). The columns read as follows:

 

Issue-9.8-9.6-9.4-9.2-9.0-total issues

 

The numbers are what they are less the usual margin for error what with re-subs and labels not being retired. Points of interest are as follows:

 

Interestingly the top 5 and the bottom 5 remain the same...although #11 opens a significant lead over #1 from a 1 issue margin to an 8 issue margin...all true ASM-aficionados know that issue 11 is the bane of HG collectors for their ASM sets... :insane::frustrated:

 

There was no change in the issues for the Top 10. Just some rearranging for spots 6-10...no change either in issues 11-15 except rearrangement... hm

 

Interestingly as well is 20 issues held their position in the Top 50! :o

 

Issue 17 gets top honors for rising from 23rd toughest to 17th toughest!

Issue 50 represents the book that dropped the most, or said another way, created more HG issues that made it more readily available in HG than in 2012 going from 38th toughest to 42nd toughest...this probably has a bit to do that it would be a much more submitted book than many others... :preach:

 

Issue 19 remains the only issue in the ASM 1-50 run with a single 9.9 grade. ^^

 

Issues 47 and 33 (warehouse find) were the only issues in 2012 recording with double-digit issues in 9.8...4 issues presently have double-digit copies in 9.8 or better...19, 33, 45 and 47.

 

There were 6 issues in 2012 recording without a 9.8 (i.e., highest grade was 9.6)...4, 7, 9, 11 14 and 28. Five of those remain with issue 9 scoring a single 9.8...who has the single 9.8 :o !!

 

TOTALs statistics...1038 issues were added to the Census in the last 18 months...only 25 new 9.8s so a little over 1 per month...142 9.6...182 9.4...237 9.2 and 452 in 9.0...

 

Rock the Spidey...I am analyzing the data a little further and will comment accordingly...on vacation this week so my next report may not be for a week or so...enjoy... :headbang:

It is nice to see copies without the right edge of the Comics Code stamp and the number box cut off. That's going to be a consideration for me when I look to upgrade. It's similar to the issue of the quotation marks on the right edge of TOS #39.
