I've been figuring out how best to avoid penalty points and all that other business, and I believe I have a solution that should work for everyone.
I propose that each contestant list his guesses by line groupings (i.e. Marvel Age, Atlas Era and Golden Age) and within those line groupings list the Masterworks in order by highest preference. Thus, if there any line reductions, their bottom selections are eliminated from their guessing pool.
Here's an example. I'll start off by guessing 12 Marvel Age Masterworks, numbered 1 through 12:
Marvel Age Selections
1 Amazing Spider-Man Volume 15
2 Daredevil Volume 7
3 Fantastic Four Volume 15
4 Iron Man Volume 8
5 Luke Cage Volume 1
6 Mighty Thor Volume 12
7 Avengers Volume 13
8 Doctor Strange Volume 6
9 Incredible Hulk Volume 7
10 Ka-Zar Volume 1
11 Marvel Two-In-One Volume 1
12 Sub-Mariner Volume 5
If 12 Marvel Age Masterworks are released in 2013, all 12 of my guesses count. If they release 10, then my guesses 1-10 count, and my guesses 11 and 12 don't count. If only 6 Marvel Age Masterworks are released, then just my Top 6 guesses count.
Now, in that latter example, the 6 volumes released COULD all be from my selections numbered 7-12, but because those released volumes were not in my Top 6, I would score 0 on my predictions.
To ensure that everyone is on an equal footing, I propose the selections are standardized to 12 Marvel Age Masterworks, 5 Golden Age and 5 Atlas Era for each of us. It's unlikely the program will exceed any of those thresholds -- both by individual line and total overall -- so we're pretty much covered under every foreseeable scenario.
