census updated as of 7/30

47 posts in this topic

Hey, V-Man, a really great addition to your last post would be to go ahead and list the GRADES RECEIVED by the comics that have been newly graded on that Top 50 list. For example, if there were 14 new ASM #1s graded, you'd list 9.2, 9.2, 9.0, 8.5, 8.0, 5.5, 5.5, 5.5, 5.0... etc!

Hmmm... I just noticed this:

 

X-Men 1 - 10 recent (1.0 - 2)(1.8 - 1)(5.0 - 1)(6.5 - 1)(7.0 - 1)(7.5 - 1)(9.2 - -1)(9.4 - 1)

 

Care to guess what happened there? tongue.gif

Is that a 9.2 being removed from the census and a 9.4 being added to it? If so, it looks like somebody might have resubmitted with the label and got a nice suprise.

And what about this line?

 

Amazing Spider-Man 1 - 14 recent (0.5 - 1)(2.5 - 1)(3.0 - 1)(4.0 - 1)(4.5 - 2)(5.5 - 1)(6.5 - 1)(8.0 - 1)

 

14 recent, but only 9 new grades???

 

Universal grades only in the (counts - X)

So, 14 recent submissions, 9 are universals.

It's an actual sighting of a comic being REMOVED from the census!

 

Oh, and your highlighting is probably your suggestion that it was a resub that moved a 9.2 to a 9.4!

That would seem very likely!

there was also a 9.4 Avengers 4..or is that not a "top" book/

Avengers 4 is not listed on pg 107 in Overstreet Annual...

so I guess it's not a Top 10 Silver Age book (value wise)

according to those who make the rules. grin.gif

You are the MAN!!!!!!!!

 

This is great info.

 

Look how many many new HULK #181 there were in NM (9.4).

 

And look how many Conan #1 there were in NM or better.

 

Shows that there could be tons of High Grade Books Key Bronze-Age that's not graded.
