3/26/2025 Topic: Longest Comic Run in Your Collection drsettleton	Been awhile, but I've got an update for ya- Amazing Spider-Man- 386 issues- 15 through issue 400. Only 6 issues away from completing the run! The X-Men run remains the same.
9/22/2025 Topic: Ruk's list-Who has the best collection drsettleton	Ruk, I know you are quite busy up North, but if you could find the time to update my collection I'd be much obliged. Up to 6,654 Comics, and the value has only trickled up to $106,504. All of these years and I never knew what the EEIG designation meant until you explained it to Marcer! I assumed it must be something very prestigious and didn't want to look like a newb. I'm glad that the price guide has stopped giving 9.4 grades to books across the board to be honest. Every time I reorganize my books I try to reevaluate and update the grades. All of my expensive books are catalogued correctly now, it's just updating grades on the lower value books that's time consuming. But hey, it's a chance to reread some old books and look for those hidden signatures and Mark Jewelers Inserts! Thank you for your dedicated work!
2/19/2026 Topic: Missing X-Force Newsstands drsettleton	Hey all, I am in the process of putting together a complete run of X-Statix and their appearances in X-force in NEWSSTAND and ran into some issues with missing issues on the site. These comics are REALLY rare on eBay and auction sites as they were on Newstands in the early 2000's on an underperforming book. X-Statix is a bit more complicated because it SEEMS like issues here and there never made it to the newsstand at all. Once I have those issues in hand and can send you scans I'll make a post about those. So I wanted to start with the X-Force appearances as I have finally collected the entire run and can verify that they do in fact exist. I am ONLY covering the issues of X-Force with X-Statix appearances. I only mention this because the website is likely missing newsstands from the earlier parts of that run as well. I just don't have those issues so am not the one to talk to about it. Title: X-Force Missing Issues: 119, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127 and 129 Country: USA Publisher: Marvel Publication Years: 1991-2002 Cover Price: $2.25 Newsstand Editions These books are even hard to find images of. I provided links to the sites that have good/ok images. I'll try to attach files from my personal collection for the other ones. 119- 122- https://www.comics.org/issue/1121454/cover/4/ 123- 124- https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/7825872/x-force-124?variant=6847752 125- https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/4785189/x-force-125?variant=3226840 126- 127- https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/2117794/x-force-127?variant=8301320 129- Thanks
