jmg3637 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Nice Duck I am officially down to under 100 books needed to complete Both Series 2 and 1 A couple of years ago I decided to add in to the wants were about 250 books that I felt needed to be upgraded . of course those were secondary to filling in holes. Here are some of the graded books that were added to my collection as well as the registry PopKulture, AJD and kaculler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 On 2/25/2020 at 4:09 PM, jmg3637 said: Now that I have so much more data accessible I have been doing more statistical analysis My longest unbroken streak is between 598-672 for 75 consecutive issues. the next best ones are only 45 and 43 issues the average grade of my books is only 4.63 with the lowest grades in the below 100 section as we would expect, in the low 3's but the highest grades are in the 6,7, 8 and 1100s all of which are just over 5. My goal for 2020 is add at least 25 missing books and upgrade at least 50. Would love to bring the average grade up to at least 5.0 as well With the pandemic and way extra stress at the office as well as at home I have not touched my tracking spreadsheets since this post. I have added quite a few books so I am sure it will take me a while to bring everything back in line. Wondering how i did for the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmg3637 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I did pretty well for 2020 especially I did absolutely no in person transactions. I now have 1257 issues I am now down to 8 first series needed and only 82 second series for a total of 90 give or take an issue. I did not do as well on my upgrades as i still need 217 of those. As soon as I typed I knew that there was no way I was going to improve the average grade anywhere near what the .37 I threw out. i quickly determoned I would have to pick up over 450 grade points to accomplish that. I would have had to upgrade 90 books by an average grade of 5 points while keeping all new books at or above 5. I was able to raise the average grade to 4.71 so there is hope that I could eventually get to 5. by longest unbroken streak is now 93 from 111-203. I still have not completed a single hundred series as i need 1 book for the 100's and 600's and only 2 for the 1000's Here are a couple more 2020 additions courtesy of harley Yee kaculler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decade ago I contemplated that run but I ended up deciding that postage to Australia for 1,400 ish comics was going to make it a non-starter. but I have sure enjoyed watching your progress!

I think that a couple of those were in person transactions back in February before the pandemic hit here. I have already picked up 6 issues from Series II in 2021 to bring the total that I need down to 99 Series II issues and 19 Series I issues. I'm not looking to upgrade any issues so thankfully don't have to worry about that. I haven't completed any hundred series either, though #694, 1016, and 1164 are the only issues I need in those particular hundred series. My longest unbroken run then is from 1017-1163, a run of 147 issues. If I can get a copy of 1164, the unbroken run will extend from 1017-1252 or 236 issues. I need 2 in the 300s, 3 in the 400s, 2 in the 700s, 3 in the 800s, 2 in the 900s, and 2 in the 1200s. One of the issues that I need in the 900s is the Smokey the Bear that you got from Harley. The other is a Leave it to Beaver issue (999). My goal for 2021 is to get down to needing 50 issues for Series II and 15 issues for Series I. That's a bit ambitious for Series II, but we'll see what happens. Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live for that stuff and have a running tally of these stats: I have closed 2 hundred series. I have the complete 400's and 600's. My longest unbroken is 193 long from 378 to 570. I am down to needing only 1 for the 300's, 500's, 700's, 900's and 1000's. Once those are done, it's working on the start and the end I am not collecting the first series btw. Kudos to both of you for adding this to your chase! kaculler and bobpfef 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 well prior to adding upgrades to my wants I added the missing four colors. Since my spreadsheet is numerically based i would only have to reslot in the missing books so I could have those on the same spreadsheet. Speaking of the Missing FC's these came in today kaculler, AJD and OtherEric 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 This is my current Four color WANT LIST The first Column and a half are missing books the next four columns are of upgrades desired with current condition place holders shown. For filling out the last column I have it set to Fill in with whatever of the first hundred will fit. I have currently set my upgrade target at books in 2.5 or below, but can easily change that to make it higher or lower. I after entering the info for new additions I can update everything with the swapping and sorting of 2 columns. It is so helpful to have the name of the book along with the number to really know what you are looking for OtherEric and kaculler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaculler Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It had been a while since I last crossed a Four Color issue off of my list, but this one arrived today. 97 to go for Series II, though I have another issue en route.
