Here is my newly acquired grail!! Can't wait to display it!!

Hey Guys,

Just picked this issue up.  What would everyone think a good price on it would be.  I wondering if I got a good deal or not?  I'm very excited about it and it is now the highlight of my collection.

Here is my new pickup!  Very excited!!

Echo what others have said with regards to GPA (worth it!) so you get a decent idea of appx market value.    Besides some of the keys, you should be able to put together a nice run without breaking the bank (unless you decide to go for only HG books).  

The #10 you picked up is a nice start.   I like those solid mid-grade books.   You still get a pretty nice book without the HG premiums.    For me, I've found that 7.0-9.0/9.2 is the "sweet spot".   Much more bang for your buck, IMO.   Although, as others have said, the higher grades (in general) appreciate at a better rate. 

I'd also suggest to go for the keys/bigger books first.   Try and get (some of) them out of the way before chasing the "filler" books.    Marvelmania posted this above:

 issues 67 - 93 were reprints of the some of the first 66 issues.

Those are books I'd hold off on, personally, and try and get the stuff with original material first. 

Thank you everyone for all the amazing help, answers and recommendations!!! I have learned a lot over the last few days and super excited about collecting.  1-66 is what I'm going for and 94 on up due to everyone's feedback and yes ofcourse come back and get 67-93.  I really want a nice 94 next!!

My first big purchase in the Uncanny X-men collection.... Should be fun hunting down issues and get the kids involved. 

Got this one after much debate!! Looking for #9 #94 next.... I also have #34,#98 and #150.  Off to a good start.  This is fun....

My second x-men in the 1st series.  Going for all 66 one day....

Thank you for all the great feedback.  I spent hours last night researching and I look forward to collecting #1 - #10 and I have been searching for #94.  Huge Wolverine Fan!  Also for some reason I am drawn to #9 right now.

Where is the most reliable source for comic pricing?

Looking to buy X-men #10 cgc 4.0

whats a good price range?

New to comics for the most part.  Wanting to start collecting X-men uncanny 1st series 1963.  Where do I start and what are the highlight editions?  Just got #34 from a comic book store and looking to buy #10 4.0 grade.  Should I look for higher grades?
