  1. Daredevil #181 features the “death” of Elektra + the 10th cover appearance of Bullseye! Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $65. According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 22, 2023, out of a total of 5,984 Universal copies graded, only 1,459 copies were graded in 9.8 with ONLY 6 copies graded higher in 9.9! With these statistics in mind, this represents a RARITY FACTOR of 24.38% of the total population. However, this is the much RARER Newsstand Edition Variant, which means that you can estimate that ONLY 2-4% of all 9.8s are Newsstand Edition copies! ___________________________________________________________ Published in April of 1982, the legendary Frank Miller (penciller) & Klaus Janson (inker) rendered a classic Bullseye Vs. Elektra battle cover! Frank Miller continued to push the envelope, as he decided to have Bullseye “kill” Elektra in this historic issue! In turn, this tragic event would add onto Bullseye’s resume of all the qualifications that make him Daredevil’s undisputed arch enemy! On that note, Daredevil #181 is an absolute MUST-HAVE for any Daredevil, Elektra, or Bullseye fan and/or collector! In my opinion, Bullseye is one of the most psychotic and deranged villains ever created by Marvel! As a result, Bullseye’s early cover appearances are some of the most violent, brutal, and entertaining in comics and are HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! ___________________________________________________________ First 20 Bullseye Cover Appearances: 01. Daredevil #131 02. Daredevil #132 03. Daredevil #141 04. Daredevil #146 05. Daredevil #159 (not in costume) 06. Daredevil #160 07. Daredevil #161 08. Daredevil #169 09. Daredevil #172 10.

I was ecstatic when I was informed that I landed the coveted CGC 9.8 NM/M grade! I am super proud to own this immaculate copy and look forward to watching it appreciate each year!

  2. Daredevil #172 features the 9th cover appearance of Bullseye + the 3rd appearance of the Kingpin within the Daredevil title! Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $38. According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 15, 2023, out of a total of 357 Universal copies graded, only 82 copies were graded in 9.8 with 0 copies graded higher! With these statistics in mind, this represents a RARITY FACTOR of 22.97% of the total population. ___________________________________________________________ Published in July of 1981, the legendary Frank Miller (penciller) & Klaus Janson (inker) rendered another dope Bullseye & Kingpin cover! In just his 9th cover appearance (12th appearance overall), Bullseye is featured leaping towards Daredevil in midair with a long multi-spiked blade! The Kingpin, who only makes his 3rd appearance in the Daredevil title, is portrayed dominantly in the background holding a lit cigarette, while he watches Daredevil take on the New York Mob & Bullseye! In addition, the beautiful dark and light blue background really brings out the white, yellow, and red colors to make this cover POP! On that note, Daredevil #172 is an absolute MUST-HAVE for any Daredevil, Kingpin, or Bullseye fan and/or collector! In my opinion, Bullseye is one of the most psychotic and deranged villains ever created by Marvel! As a result, Bullseye’s early cover appearances are some of the most violent, brutal, and entertaining in comics and are HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! ___________________________________________________________ First 20 Bullseye Cover Appearances: 01.

  4. Daredevil #81 features the 1st meeting of Daredevil and the Black Widow + stories featuring the Black Widow begin! Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $160. According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 1, 2023, out of a total of 298 Universal copies graded, only 21 copies were graded in 9.8 with 0 copies graded higher! With these statistics in mind, this represents an impressive RARITY FACTOR of only 7.05% of the total population! ___________________________________________________________ Here is a KEY Daredevil book you do not see every day! To be quite honest, I consider Daredevil #81 “under the radar” in terms of its historical significance and importance in the Daredevil run! As a result, it hasn’t experienced the buyer demand that it will one day command! DID YOU KNOW… • Daredevil (in Daredevil #1) and the Black Widow (in Tales of Suspense #52) both made their comic book debuts in April of 1964? • Daredevil 1st met the Black Widow in Daredevil #81 (although it’s not noted on the CGC label)? • The Black Widow was featured in 44 consecutive issues spanning Daredevil #81—#124? • The Daredevil title was actually renamed “Daredevil and the Black Widow” from issues #92—#107? With the aforementioned facts delineated above, it would have been super cool to have seen actor Charlie Cox (Daredevil) teamed up with actress Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff AKA the Black Widow). Unfortunately, that won’t occur, as Johansson’s Black Widow died in Avengers: Endgame (2019), after she sacrificed herself at Vormir to obtain the Soul Stone. However, since Marvel isn’t afraid of straying away from the comic book storylines to adapt to the MCU, there is a possibility that they could incorporate Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova (the current Black Widow) into the Daredevil series! Furthermore, the Gil Kane (penciler) & Frank Giacoia (inker) picture frame cover is absolutely stunning! The bright white background border coupled with the blue green water, golden sand, and Daredevil’s red suit with the Black Widow’s black and dark blue highlighted suit make this cover POP! In terms of the color coordination, the red Daredevil title matches Daredevil’s suit and the caption DEATH IS A BLACK WIDOW matches the Black Widow’s suit! Even “The Man Without Fear” matches the color of the sand! It’s definitely one of those covers that has exceptional eye appeal! In closing, I WON this PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED copy in Comic Link’s Focused Auction in June of 2022! I’m super proud to own this immaculate copy and look forward to watching it appreciate each year!

  5. Daredevil #169 features the 2nd appearance of Elektra + the 8th cover appearance of Bullseye! Overstreet 2022 NM- 9.2 value = $70. According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, July 4, 2023, out of a total of 610 Universal copies graded, 149 copies were graded in 9.6 with only 53 copies graded higher in 9.8! With these statistics in mind, this represents a RARITY FACTOR of 24.43% of the total population. HOWEVER, this is the much RARER Newsstand Edition Variant, which means that you can estimate that ONLY about 2-4% of all 9.6s are Newsstand Edition copies! ___________________________________________________________ Published in March of 1981, the legendary Frank Miller (penciller) & Klaus Janson (inker) rendered another phenomenal Bullseye cover! In just his 8th cover appearance (9th appearance overall), Bullseye is featured boldly in the center with a spotlight highlighting multiple victims laying on the ground wearing a Daredevil costume! Similar to Frank Miller’s Daredevil #160 cover, Bullseye has a psychotic facial expression with his bulging eyes starring upwards towards the viewer, coupled with a radiant red halo around his head, to show the menacing and murderous nature of Daredevil’s archenemy! To bring this scene to life, the caption on the lower right-hand corner reads: HIS NAME IS BULLSEYE…AND HE’LL KEEP KILLING ‘EM TILL THEY’RE ALL DEAD! Furthermore, the beautiful light blue background coordinates extremely well with the purple, pink, black and bright yellow colors—making this cover POP! Moreover, although she is not featured on the front cover, within the pages of this classic Frank Miller issue is the historical 2nd appearance of Elektra! On that note, Daredevil #169 is an absolute MUST-HAVE for any Daredevil, Elektra and Bullseye fan and/or collector! In my opinion, Bullseye is one of the most psychotic and deranged villains ever created by Marvel! As a result, Bullseye’s early cover appearances are some of the most violent, brutal, and entertaining in comics and are HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! ___________________________________________________________ First 20 Bullseye Cover Appearances: 01. Daredevil #131 02. Daredevil #132 03. Daredevil #141 04. Daredevil #146 05. Daredevil #159 (not in costume) 06. Daredevil #160 07. Daredevil #161 08. Daredevil #169 09. Daredevil #172 10.

Daredevil #289 (in Daredevil’s costume) 19. Daredevil #290 (in Daredevil’s costume) 20. Punisher #102 ___________________________________________________________ COOL FACT: I was the one who vetted the KEY comment—“2nd appearance of Elektra” to CGC President Matt Nelson and the team, which got approved on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, to be added to the CGC label! In closing, I submitted this NEAR PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED Newsstand Edition Variant copy to CGC Comics in May of 2023! Although I was really hoping to land the coveted CGC 9.8 NM/M grade; I am grateful that I at least received the CGC 9.6 NM+ grade. Nevertheless, I am super proud to own this immaculate copy and look forward to watching it appreciate each year!

  6. Daredevil #161 features the 7th cover appearance of Bullseye and his 8th appearance overall! Overstreet 2022 NM- 9.2 value = $60. According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, June 20, 2023, out of a total of 629 Universal copies graded, only 117 copies were graded in 9.8 with ONLY 1 copy graded higher in 9.9! With these statistics in mind, this represents a RARITY FACTOR of 18.60% of the total population. HOWEVER, this is the much RARER Newsstand Edition Variant, which means that you can estimate that ONLY about 2-4% of all 9.8s are Newsstand Edition copies! ___________________________________________________________ Published in November of 1979, the legendary Frank Miller (penciller) & Klaus Janson (inker) rendered another pulsating Bullseye cover! In just his 7th cover appearance (8th appearance overall), Bullseye is featured drop kicking Daredevil off the top of the historic Coney Island wooden roller coaster—known as the Cyclone, with the Black Widow tied in bondage along the tracks! Furthermore, Bullseye’s ruthless killer instinct coupled with his psychotic nature is displayed on this late Bronze Age cover; once again cementing his ongoing rivalry with ol’ “Hornhead!” On that note, Daredevil #161 is an absolute MUST-HAVE for any Daredevil and Bullseye fan and/or collector! In my opinion, Bullseye is one of the most psychotic and deranged villains ever created by Marvel! As a result, Bullseye’s early cover appearances are some of the most violent, brutal, and entertaining in comics and are HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! ___________________________________________________________ First 20 Bullseye Cover Appearances: 01.

  7. Daredevil #160 features the 6th cover appearance of Bullseye and his 7th appearance overall! Overstreet 2022 NM- 9.2 value = $60. According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, June 20, 2023, out of a total of 622 Universal copies graded, only 107 copies were graded in 9.8 with 0 copies graded higher! With these statistics in mind, this represents a RARITY FACTOR of only 17.20% of the total population. ___________________________________________________________ Published in September of 1979, the legendary Frank Miller (penciller) & Klaus Janson (inker) rendered a strikingly controversial Bullseye cover! In just his 6th cover appearance (7th appearance overall), Bullseye is featured strangling the Black Widow with a hairdryer cord! As a result, the Black Widow is unconscious and collapsed to the floor, amidst a pile of smashed furniture turned upside down with Bullseye’s facial expression looking crazy as hell! For late 1979, this legendary Frank Miller cover can be considered controversial for the time, as it is just as savage as some of the unregulated pre-code horror covers! It certainly cemented Frank Miller’s style in steering the title into a darker and more mature direction! [IN THE HANDS OF BULLSEYE!] On that note, Daredevil #160 is an absolute MUST-HAVE for any Daredevil and Bullseye fan and/or collector! In my opinion, Bullseye is one of the most psychotic and deranged villains ever created by Marvel! As a result, Bullseye’s early cover appearances are some of the most violent, brutal, and entertaining in comics and are HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! ___________________________________________________________ First 20 Bullseye Cover Appearances: 01.

  8. WOW!! What an introspective and deep reflection of your personal life! WELCOME BACK MATT! I seriously connected with your journal entry here man...I'm not sure if you recall the time back in 2013 in which I wrote a very intense self-reflection journal about my failing marriage and my growing addiction to collecting high-grade CGC comics as a way to cope through the process? This journal entry of yours reminds me of that. Here is the LINK: ---> The Professor's Hiatus from CGC Comic Collecting: An Insider's Perspective Into the Life & Times of a CGC Comic Collecting Addict! I started dating my now ex-wife in 2010 and got married on July 6, 2012. I was officially divorced on June 13, 2016 (about 2.5 years after I wrote that Journal Entry above)! With that said, I just made my "7th" year anniversary of being single and happily divorced! I haven't connected with that special woman yet, but I am inspired by reading your admiration and love for your current girlfriend. I can relate to you on so many levels man. I just started my journey a few years before you did, and divorced a while ago in comparison to your timeline. However, you beat me on finding a special lady! I have been taking my sweet time. I have dated plenty of women but have not met THE ONE yet. I have a feeling I will soon though! I also wrote, recorded and executive produced my debut album entitled "A Dollar & A Dream," which was released on my 41st birthday on October 18, 2019! I wrote a very DEEP SONG entitled Changed Ways, which actually is a reflection of my divorce and giving my shortcomings to God in hopes of experiencing a better future with the woman I'll one day fall in love with. My Official Music Website Link: 2nd Life Entertainment LLC - Home of 2-Tone Eternal I haven't done much with my music since dropping my album more than 3.5 years ago. It's a long story, but I got really disgusted with the entire music industry and just didn't want to be a part of it like that. However, I am proud of my album! I made that happen post-divorce! It's now a work of art that NO ONE can take away from me! I dropped over 30K into completing the album...all thanks to selling my CGC Collection! No Loan! I also recently started my Professor Pecora YouTube Channel a few months ago! Here is the link---> Professor Pecora's YouTube Channel It's great to hear from you again man! Feel free to hit me up whenever you need! -Thomas AKA Professor Pecora

HOWEVER, this is the much RARER Newsstand Edition Variant, which means that you can estimate that ONLY about 2-4% of all 9.8s are Newsstand Edition copies! ___________________________________________________________ Published in July of 1979, the legendary Frank Miller (penciller) & Klaus Janson (inker) rendered a stunning Daredevil Vs. Bullseye underwater battle cover! The green, blue, and red colors POP vibrantly on this particular copy, as if it were printed yesterday! SIDE NOTE: I do not think most collectors or casual observers are aware of this, but Daredevil #159 features the 1st and only cover appearance of Bullseye in which he is not in costume! Furthermore, in only Frank Miller’s 2nd Daredevil cover, he chose to bring Bullseye back into the mix, but took a different approach of having him fight Daredevil underwater wearing only jeans, boots, and a spiked metal wristband! The scene is intense, as Bullseye is grabbing Daredevil by the neck with one hand and attempting to stab him with a dagger! Hence, Frank Miller perfectly displayed his darker and raw approach to the title! This trend would continue throughout his run, with a wicked follow up on the cover of Daredevil #160—where Bullseye is strangling the Black Widow with a hairdryer cord! In my opinion, Bullseye is one of the most psychotic and deranged villains ever created by Marvel! As a result, Bullseye’s early cover appearances are some of the most violent, brutal, and entertaining in comics and are HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE! ___________________________________________________________ First 20 Bullseye Cover Appearances: 01.
