    Fantastic books.  I usually collect Gold & Silver Age books, but I'm going to start with these books, GSX1 and X94.  I have a few questions, please educate me, send  a PM or post here.  I know GSX1 is the 1st app of the new X-men, why is the 9.8 CGC's less expensive than the X-men 94's 9.8 CGC (the 2nd app of the new x-men)?  Is it only because there are more GSX1 graded (total for 140, Blue/SS/restored)) at 9.8 than X-men 94's (total for 31 blue/SS/restored)?  Is it the 1st or 2nd app of the new x-men which is more important OR the QTY at the 9.8 level?  Thanks.  Nick

    X-Men 94 is just rarer in high grades than GS X-Men 1.  That commands the higher price tag.  I wouldn't consider X-Men 94 the more important book by any means.  I'd venture to say GS X-Men is the most important book of the bronze age, even beating Hulk 180/181.  I have both books (94 & GS 1), but if I had to give one up, I wouldn't hesitate to part with X-Men 94.  GS X-Men is just a must have for any bronze collector.

    That new pedigreed copy of the ST Annual #2 was incredible looking.  Not sure what it closed at, but I know I saw it close to 15k, which seemed really high.

    I just looked since I thought it was an incredibly nice looking book as well.  Hammer price was $20,600!  An incredible price for an incredible book...:whatthe:

    Some astounding numbers for Spidey last night for sure.  How about that 9.0 #14 doubling it's GPA?  The Molten Man has been discussed elsewhere, but that was another WOW result.  It appears the new pedigree definitely brought the buyers out with deep pockets last night!  The #51 for ~6K!?  Wow, people must really like those CVA stickers  :ohnoez:
