Set Description:
DD V1 Complete Set, 1-380 with Annuals 1-10 and Giant Size #1
This set is focused on White Page issues of 9.8 or better with a bunch of SS copies too!
My goal for the year 2023 was to acquire 80 issues in 9.8 in the 1-100 issue range, I now have 77. Most are WP copies. The rest of the set is mainly 9.8 copies, with more in 9.9 grade mainly in the Miller Era. A few tough ones are in 9.6, with a few odd ones in 9.2 and 9.4, and a solo 8.5. Two slots, #16 and 359 need comics. I am waiting for 9.8’s.
Number 1 is in 9.4, with a slight restore, signed by Stan Lee. A few dozen more are signed by Stan where appropriate. I probably have the majority of the highest graded Stan Lee SS copies in the Daredevil registry. Later issues have more signatures, Frank Miller, Gene Colan, Klaus Jansen and others.
I did add Issue 133 in 9.8WP in the 30-Cent variant to the set, this is the only one. I also have the only issue 136 in the 30 Cent variant. These are tough. The 35 cent variants in top grade are even tougher.
This will eventually become my prime set in the DD series, even while I still hold the TOP CGC set in the MILLER era of issues 158 to 191.
Currently I have 17 9.9 issues, all WP's. There are less than 80 total DD issues in the 1-380 range at this high 9.9 level, and one solo issue in 10, issue 157. Another tough category.
In total, this set has over 330 issues in 9.8 White Pages. Most are in the Gallery. I focus on perfect structure, and most are pretty sweet.
I also have top sets in the Daredevil V3, V4, V5 V6 and now V7 series. But these I build when I have the focus. I try not to focus on other sets, but I also have the Top Nick Fury and Civil War V1 sets, which are basically complete. Too many comics in the world to try them all! Have fun.
Last updated in April 2023.
So Hang on folks, more to come! ...and if anyone has any I need, please email me!!

A 9.4 OWW SS Apparent (SP) Copy.
Restored using a small cover trim (not me) and then I had it signed by Stan Lee!!
Beautiful copy, easy to claim it is a 9.6 but I am sure the restore brought it down a spot.
For those into the SS issues, ONE Copy at 9.6 I think OWW SS copy, ONE copy at 9.6 (SP) also signed by Stan, and then this copy at 9.4, the only SS copy at 9.4. I also know there is ONE CSBS 9.6 comic SS by Stan. That's it for the top graded copies, only 4 at 9.4 or above.
CENSUS: 2 in 9.8, 34 in 9.6, 44 in 9.4, 67 in 9.2 110 in 9.0 out of 5994 graded copies.
541 SS copies, 1 in 9.6, the highest grade, 4 more at 9.2 as of April 2023.
ey Comments. Origin and 1st appearance of Daredevil, (Matt Murdock). 1st appearance of, Karen Page and Foggy Nelson.
Art Comments Stan Lee story, Bill Everett art, Bill Everett and Jack Kirby cover.
Published in April 1964.
The only 9.8 copy seen sold went for $250,000USD in 2021
Expect to pay $100k for a 9.6 copy now! A WP copy went for $150k in 2021.
Still looking for a 9.8 or 9.6WP copy...
