I have one. I celebrate her every day!

Issues 86 and 93 are the DDs with black picture frames that have been especially tough to find in NM+ or better shape, and tend to be more expensive than the rest.  But the cover art on the 91 is sweet.

My former top copy was one that turned up at a comic show and that I later submitted.  The raw copy I still own is next to it, and is an example with just a bit of wear that keeps it out of being slab-worthy, but that has great eye appeal.
   

Game changer?  No.  Multiple copies?  No.
Familiarity was with the original X-Men team.  It took Giant Size #1 and several issues of the regular series to become familiar with the names, powers, and personalities of the new team members.  Yes, I was familiar with Wolvie from his appearances in Hulk, but he didn't strike me as a big deal from those first appearances.  It also took me time to come to enjoy the plots and scripting.
By ish 100, it was apparent this was a cool, fresh, and enjoyable team and title.  But by then, I was heading off to graduate school and starting a five year hiatus from buying and reading any comics.
