Not that one. I meant this earlier series: The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (1994) If not #1 then #2. It was available for purchase at newsstands.

Was it The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (1994) #1? It fits your description other than the anniversary issue detail.

Dude, not cool.

They owe $6000 to Diamond, $4000 to Lunar, and $200,000 (!) to Penguin Random House, according to the document in the original post. How can the PRH debt be twenty times the amount of Diamond and Lunar combined? Does PRH give stores a four or five month grace period to make payments on their orders?

The first half of this post reads like Oscar Wilde's preface in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Early issues of Wizard magazine seem to be doing well on eBay this month, according to my irregular check-in on sold listings.

It is (3), and (3) alone. Consider, too, that Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw both first appear in 129. All other factors barely affect the pricing of 129 & 130 relative to the rest of the Dark Phoenix Saga. It makes sense, in the sense that first appearance books have dominated the speculative hivemind for the past ten years.

That is an impressive haul. Were there any other collectors at the sale? Around here, at least four guys would be pressuring the seller for early access, either days or hours before opening time.

Does anyone else feel this cover is glaringly out of place in the final four ALF covers? The other three share a common theme of the title's cancellation, to the extent that each cover has no fewer than three references to it. ALF #48 has zero obvious references to the cancellation.

Near mint copies of War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas #1 were sold for over $50 each this weekend on eBay. My local shops had plenty of supply when the book was released. So far that has not held it back.

I am guilty of buying Generation X #1 when I see it for a loonie. Maybe it and Deathmate: Black will take 35 years to get hot. These days, who knows? The asking prices for the available 9.8 copies on eBay are certainly unrealistic.

Ah, the Reverse Rule of 25 at work again! At long last, nobody remembers the Generation X TV movie, and now this book can finally soar to the moon! Just like Kitty did in Pryde of the X-Men!! Good call on X-Men #129, JesterSB!

This is also anecdotal, but Simpsons Comics #245 seems to be in the same (print run) boat. Issues 243 and 244 are ghosts compared to 245. It was difficult to find a potential CGC 9.8 copy of the latter at the local bookstores, perhaps because other collectors had already looked through these newsstand copies. So for anyone holding the last issue of Simpsons Comics for the next 20 years, don't forget the antepenultimate issue!

Oops, I probably read about that in another thread. My bad! Luckily, these days if you can sell a few Valiant Nintendo comics here and some Thundercats comics there, then you can make a couple grand.

I had a similar experience with my copy of Ultimate Fallout #4. I would have sold it for about $80 in December 2018, but it was buried deep in my boxes and forgotten. Better to be forgetful than enterprising in that situation!

I continue to be astounded by sold prices on eBay. Today, I could sell my two higher grade copies of Amazing Spider-Man #316 for more money than if I had sold my entire comic book collection ten years ago. That may even be the case for my pile of Thundercats, SilverHawks, and Visionaries issues. How is this even possible when the two recent Thundercats shows were unsuccessful?
