2016 was a good year for my G.I. Combat set posted by richard8158

253 out of 289!

 

Nine months ago I wrote a journal after adding my 200th comic to my GI Combat set. I now have 253 graded and am closing in on 90% completion. I have 2 left to send in for grades and that will exhaust what I have at the house. Out of the 36 still missing from the set, I have 24 of them but they are mostly reader grade. I try to have a reader copy for each book in the set, however, some aren't worth the expense of purchasing just to read.

The copper portion of the set is all 9.6 and 9.8 except for a single 9.4. The bronzes are 9.0 or better except for 6 in need of upgrades (3 are in for grading now). The silvers are coming along nicely with many new additions and upgrades this year. The golds are in the worst shape with many missing still. There are plenty of the Quality issues to be had but most are in horrible shape. I'll keep hunting, after all, that's the best part!

Fantastic!

 

You're on your way to magnificent collecting achievement. You happened to have picked the DC Big Five war run with the most gray tone covers too- especially those done by Grandenetti

 

Best,

John

Thank you! I too am a big fan of the grey tone covers!
