2017 was the year I finally found and purchased Avengers #93 in cgc 9.6.  Not just once, but twice.  Both are nice copies, but neither is arguably any nicer than the undercopy I sold on the boards:

I haven't done a census update for about 6 months so I figured I'd check to see if anything new has turned up for the hard-to find books.

Long story, short – not much. A few nice Westerns have turned up. Also 9.4 copy of Marvel Tales #40, and 9.6 copies of Hulk #158 and X-Men #76.

And now, a sabermetric analysis of Marvel Picture Frame books that would make Bill James throw up in his mouth a little bit.

Of the 388 Picture Frame books, there are:
126 books without a 9.8 or better
48 books without a 9.6 or better
14 books without a 9.4 or better
5 books without a 9.0 or better

Was selling some of my low grade kid colts but pulled this as a keeper.   Forgot it wasn’t a picture frame but the solid color copy might as well be?  sorry for the x-over post  only 2 9.4’s as top census
