X-Men #10

There are a few covers I like. Ok, there are lots of covers I like, but a few of them I can't explain why other than they are simply awesome. A few of these I want high graded copies but, I can't seem to get anything higher than mid grade. Regardless of the grade, having the first appearance of Ka-Zar in the silver age is a comic to have. The older the book is, the less experience I had grading them.

I purchased this comic book from a small dealer. He was willing to take a chunk off the price seeing how I really wanted it. My translation is he didn't want to take it back home.

I have spent money on books I have wanted but, for some reason I felt like I was hindering the dealer by asking. If I haggled to a price I wanted I felt obligated to purchase the book. X-Men #10 was priced right. Some of the defects however I was unfamiliar with hence the grade.

This book is part of my learning experience in grading silver age books. I'm guessing I learned a few things because I purchased two very nice Daredevil issues after I sent this one away to get signed and graded.

Thanks for Reading
