I'm going to be embarking on the endeavor of creating an online e-commerce comic web site shortly and could use some help.

I appreciate all the assistance!

I'm interested.

Low grade but still looks good‼️‼️ And probably cheap⁉️

Cover is hanging on by a sliver. But no missing pages.  The price was right for a number 2. Last time I saw one was 5 years ago for twice as much in just a bit better condition.

Other than the girl books, here's everything Marvel published with a February 1966 cover date.

What software or site lists the books like that? I need to upgrade my excel sheets...

Sounds like a CGC oversight. You lucked out, not sure what you are asking. There is certainly nothing to complain about.

Oh, not asking anything, just sharing my experience in relation to OP's question.

As I am working on my own run, buy whatever you can when you can, whether its from people here on the boards in the for sale section, at conventions, local comic shops or garage sales.
I'm of the mind that I want a complete set, first and foremost.  Once that is done, then I can start upgrading key issues to slabbed versions.  i have duplicates of 144-350, so I may pick the nicest of the issues, and sell the rest to fund the remaining 30-ish issues needed to complete the run.  Unless a #1 drops in my lap at a seriously reduced price, I imagine that it will be the final issue I purchase to complete the set.

Anything before 93, I don't tend to spend more than $20 an issue, unless it's higher grade and low enough to spend the extra money.  i filled out alot of the reprints for $5-$7 each in at least 8.0 quality which helped out quite a bit.

My earliest is #4 and i think i got it for $45, and its pretty beat up, but attached.

My #94 I bought for $100 back in the early 90's and it graded at 8.5, so I'm good there.  I have a 105 that came back with a detached staple that I may upgrade at some point.

You folks finishing Xmen runs from 1-544, is it just the regular covers or variant covers as well?

I'm just doing the regular covers.  If I have variant covers, its through a bulk purchase, not on purpose.

In my instance, my X-men 94 was signed by claremont and mcleod on the first page, but NOT noted on the blue label.  The notes do however mention the signatures.

Everyone that participated, you guys are awesome! 
Any graphics designers in the house wanting to create some badges we can add to our sigs?

Sweet 16 sounds like a badge I would wear proudly!

Any way I can get back in contest?

I'm ok with it provided a X-Men #1 is magically donated to the prize thread.
