:golfclap:  These posts are always appreciated, as they're the sort of thing I'd like to know, but don't have the patience or work ethic to find out for myself!

Agreed, but at the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth, is there any way you can put the grades after the titles in the "2 copies in 9.0 or better" list? :foryou:

Sure. Consider this a re-gifted gift horse. Or a gift horse with better teeth.

Another update from the Department of Useless Information:

Not many changes in the census over the last 6 months. I think just two or three really tough-to find books have been slabbed since I last checked. Somebody slabbed a Li'l Kids #4 in 9.4. And a 9.2 Li'l Pals #2 made its way to Sarasota as well.

There are still 14 Picture Frames without a single 9.4 or better copy. And 5 without a single 9.0 or better. Millie the Model is still playing very hard to get.

There are now 10 9.6 copies of Avengers #103, so while it's still one of the toughest hero books in 9.6, it's not so impossible anymore.

So now, all the information nobody has been waiting for:

Of the 388 Picture Frame books, there are:
127 books without a 9.8 or better
47 books without a 9.6 or better
14 books without a 9.4 or better

FINALLY and I do MEAN FINALLY - this book (and the JIM 84 of course) plagued me greatly.

Great book, Jason!

Thanks Barton, now if I could only get you to part with your DDs (worship) seriously thanks for posting all the great books in this thread. Marvel picture frames are this distinct era of just quality cover art throughout the entire line up. Might have something to do with Romita, Kane and Buscema :cloud9:

Agreed.  And Barry Smith, and Neal Adams, and John Severin, and Mike Ploog.  Just a great era for quality art, new characters and creative storylines.

I've got a suspicion I'll be releasing the picture frame collection back into the wild long before Barton ever decides to (and if he ever decides to).  It's not Barton's, but then none is.  (worship)

Not directing this at you Jason.

If you are slabbing for resale only and $2 on a modern or $5 on a SA book is the difference between you making money and not making money...... you are doing it wrong. Fact is that for resale, a lot of books weren't worth the grading cost. That number of books does not significantly change with this increase.
