  1. Love Longshot. Love Gambit. Don't care about Jubilee though she was okay in the animated show. Good foil to Wolverine.
  2. Neither do I but if you want a ps5, you have to get twitter or else you will be behind the ball. Time is everything. You can always download twitter, get your ps5 and then delete it. Unfortunately, it's a necessary evil .
  3. I used Wario64 on twitter and thats how I got mine off amazon. Make sure you follow him and you will score one!
  4. So when it says Circulation Statement: 119231 what does it mean?
  5. That's an excellent question. I've been searching for the last hour but having a hard time finding it.
  6. So I just went back and reread my Giant size X-Men 1 as well as my X-Men 94 to make sure what I'm saying is accurate. As multiple boardies have mentioned and probably already know, It is definitely more nuanced why X-men 94 is such a huge key and it's place in the historical context. Yes, GSX1 has the first appearances but X-Men 94 was the actual establishment and insertion of the NEW X-men team and their adventures into the X men series. Sunfire leaves. In fact, the old team literally packs up and leaves the mansion in X-men 94 as Professor X finalizes the next X men group to take over in the mansion... there was no official team in GSX1. Also, you have to take in context of what is going on in real life with the series. While Stan Lee did a superb job with Spiderman, the X-men franchise was not faring nearly as well and playing second fiddle to the flagships....It was not as popular and if you reread some of the first 66 issues, you will see how terrible and hokey it was. Some issues are unreadable... trust me, I tried. It got to a point where Marvel was resigned to reprinting the old stories for almost 30 issues for 4 years until X-men 94! Boom! The series is rebooted with a vengeance! New team, new writer, new stories.... X-men 94 began Chris Claremont's 16 year legendary run until 1991. Gradually, this new team of X-men with Wolverine became insanely popular.... evolving it into the intellectual property juggernaut that it is today. The creation of the new (and much more popular) team made Xmen 94 the bronze age X- men 1 (or maybe Avenger 1?) For kids growing up in the 70s. Back then, people who read the series off the newsstand understood the book's importance as well as the difficulty obtaining a copy. It was the milestone issue in the run.... and commanded that premium. But it's definitely harder in a stabbed world where people don't read inside of the comic and just stare at the cover. The book is undoubtedly undervalued and the market is starting to correct which is why prices seemed to be shooting up. Historically, Xmen 94 was on a level playing field with GSX1 and Hulk 181. The NM copies have reached similar prices but what will happen with the lower and mid grades.... we'll see.
  7. Yes, I'd be curious to see what Overstreet says about the prices...
  8. Oh yeah, he is genetically engineered and his power is luck.
  9. Longshot is still underrated... he is an awesome character with a cool ability
  10. If you need a copy of Strange tales 110, try to pick it up sooner then later. Heading up a similar path to Xmen1. Just sold above 1k a point. latest sale is a 3.5 for $4555 https://www.ebay.com/itm/STRANGE-TALES-110-CGC-3-5-OW-PAGES-1ST-DOCTOR-STRANGE-NEW-MCU-MOVIES-HOT-BOOK-/274720396626?hash=item3ff69c9552%3Ag%3A8yoAAOSwJTNgTo4E&nma=true&si=ckOccXiyo6f7dj%2Bk65JA%2BjcZhgc%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  11. Looks like a nice copy too. I wonder what it sold for. Disappeared off the market in an instant.
  12. Meanwhile, X- men 1 was worth $4000 back then.... seems like that barely changed .
  13. Same in 1995. Both worth 300 and hulk 181 worth 350. "The Marvel Trifecta "
  14. I think the crypto art craze is driven by people who are made rich by crypto, so easy come, easy go.
  15. I don't dwell on my books but I do think about the bitcoin I sold off. Makes me a little bitter but such is life.
  16. You are correct. I typed in too many zeros in my calculator. 100,000 seconds = 1.1 days. The rest of it is correct.
