  1. Same happened to me with my Heritage shipment. This will likely cause me to stop buying from Heritage.

     I called FedEx and they said there was a restriction on my package and they couldn’t hold it at a location. Called Heritage and was told this is company policy and they do this because they ship rare and unique items. I told the rep my previous shipment from Heritage was sent via USPS and it was left on my doorstep with no signature required. She didn’t respond to that.

     I called fedex back and was told after 3 attempts to deliver they will hold it at the location.

     I guess I will see what happens.

  2. X-men 133 used to be a pretty big key with the solo Wolverine cover, I remember in the 80s there was the X-men and then everything else. It’s about time the X-men run 94-143 gets some more respect. 

    I still think that 109, 120 and 121 are still very undervalued.

    I think the Miller DD run is pretty undervalued too, like X-Men 94-143, every comic collector should have the Miller DD run in their collection. 

  3. I like the app quite a lot, I am in my late 40s and buy collections and it is an easy to use resource when looking at newer comics to help me determine if there is any value.

    I am primarily a vintage comic collector and didn’t know much about moderns and this app has helped educate me in that regard.

    Speculation will always be a part of this hobby and one app isn’t going to change anything.

     

  4. I was at Spring Con in St.Paul, MN this weekend and I saw only one copy for sale, CGC 7.0 for 2k. It sold but I don’t know if it sold at the asking price or not.

    There were about four copies of X-men 94 at the show too, none were graded though. I picked up one of the 94s, probably a 6.5 or a 7.0.

    I wanted a raw copy for my collection.

  5. As a kid collecting in the early 80s, GSX 1 was desirable because it was the first new X-Men, not because it was an early appearance of Wolverine. That doesn’t mean perceptions can change over time though.

     I think all the X-men from 94-143 are undervalued given their importance and how that run has influenced stories for the last 40 years.

    One other thing that GSX 1 has going for it, that never gets mentioned is that Wolverine changes his mask from his appearance in Hulk, and that is how he looks going forward. For a character of such significance I think it is an important footnote at least.
