  1. Since this is turning into a Cable lovefest, a book that is underrated is X-Factor 68. This book is essentially the origin of Cable. Especially with movies coming up titled X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Force. I wouldn't be surprised to see little baby Nathan shipped off to the future at the end of Apocalypse and come back full adult for the X-Force movie.

     

    Of course Singer would have to find a way to get Cyclops and Jean Gray back into the movieverse first...

     

    I think the whole Whilce Portacio X-Factor run is a little underrated.

  2. Even if there are less 87s printed than 98, 87 has an advantage of being cared for as a collectable for a longer time. I think it was only like 7 or 8 years ago that I saw this board mention that 98 was heating up and I pulled copies out of long boxes for $5 each.

  3. Don't know if this got a mention yet; was watching a movie called Camp Hell on cable, about teens at a religious summer camp. There's a scene where a counselor goes through a kids bag and finds Spawn #9, he flips through it and the kid tells him it's Spawn... and Angela, and the counselor rips it up.

    Cool Runnings- Sanka reads a comic book in a scene

     

    00:47:32 And I hope you don't mind keeping quiet while I catch up on my reading.

     

    00:47:35 What are you talking about, reading? This is a children's book.

     

    00:47:39 - Oh, is that so? - Yes, that's so.

     

    00:47:41 Well, if it's a children's book, that means it's too advanced for the likes of you.

     

    00:47:45 What are you trying to say, that I'm not smarter than a little child?

     

    I think that's Hulk 282

  5. sorry to ask dumb question but where do you check order status?

    should have asked sometime in the first 9 years you were a member :baiting:

    j/k(sort of) it should be at your member homepage on the collectors society page.

    edit: if you look at your main member page, hover over submit now, then click on order status

     

    thank you.

    I don't have a paid subscription so I don't think this is available to me.

  6. How do you find sales figures for anything before 1991? Just curious how many of those are floating around. Sounds like you guys have a lot sitting around.

     

    X-Factor, at the point of issue #6 at least, was selling as much as Uncanny X-men, the #1 and 2 comic book at Marvel. I don't know what top sales in 1986 would have been. 200k?

    I was in a used book store a couple of years ago and they had no comics except for a stack of about 20 X-factor #6.
