No question. Jean had better hair than Sue. Oh yes, nice book!

Love that cover!

Nice book! You have books like that in your long-box?

For some reason, the 6 and 18 are shown as missing in your registry page. Perhaps because the system is in the process of switching in the new books. In any case, beautiful books. CG

Are those the last two holes in your 1-66 run? Congratulations on completing an amazing run of high grades! Very, very nice.

Very nice! The book presents very well for its grade.

Decent price on that too. I only bid on one book in that auction - the #35 in 9.2 . The bidding went WAY higher than what I was expecting at $575. My bid was well under that. Does it seem like higher grade SA X-Men books are getting really high prices lately? CycleGirl

Kudos to mikeyriffhard wasonff Johnny G

That will be a one-of-a-kind book!

Seems like a while since we've seen a new book on this thread. I bought this at C'Link.

You're welcome!

<< waiting for the photo Sheesh..she is so demanding Moi? Before i answer...have you sent those 2 x-men yet? Look, here is Wolvie in the X-Jet getting ready on Tuesday morning. I told him, to fly west and south until he saw a whole lot of kangaroos. Then land and give you the X-Signal on the X-Phone. So yes! It went out Monday or Tuesday! CycleGirl

Congrats MD!

Wow! In a major key, no less!

Nice book!

Congrats on that sweet pickup from Doug... I was the underbidder I need to get myself a Pac Coast thought you only went for moderns... since your criteria is 9.8 you can find a few early X-men in that grade... you can always make an offer for Doug's no 1 PC copy..... i think a modest offer of 400K will make it yours Yes, I saw that book in Doug's "vault" (Pedigreecomics.com in case anyone hasn't been there) too. It's definitely good for a

Thanks for the kudos on the Pac Coast book, everyone. This is my first SA ped. It's kind of cool to have a book from a famous find. Anyway, I guess I got us from Phoenix's Claremont thread. Yes, Claremont was brilliant. I would say groundbreaking. I suppose that superheroes, in the 20th century, fill the same place that the ancient Greek and Roman heroes, demi-gods and gods filled in the classical age. The characters are arch-types and always bigger than life. However, what Claremont brought to the medium, more than any other, was real tragedy. The tragedy of Jean and Scott is as significant of a legend to me as the stories of Achilles or Oedipus. Unfortunately, I have not read a lot from the more modern writers. I will look for TPBs of the writers mentioned on this thread. However, the two that I love are Frank Miller for the Dark Knight series and J. Michael Straczynski for ASM. Brilliant! When it comes to modern books, I would like to talk about the art! My favorite is Greg Land's Phoenix Endsong. The story is told in images. The dialog and narration are secondary. CycleGirl

kudos to frederic9494 Very nice X-Men 16 & 17 kc120us Beautiful SA X-Men, as always jonjesper DK Strikes Again - What a great read! Mutantkeys CycleGirl

Well, I really went overboard this time! I've been frantically selling books on ebay to make up for the cash needed for this one! Cycle

Thank you! Also, very nice #30 MD! Great pick up!

That explains the spikes a lot! Thanks!

Yes, #14 does have a really high census. I suppose that keys like #12 and #14 must have been recognised almost from the start as having potential as collector's items. However, the disparity seems to go beyond keys versus non-keys. For example, issue #21 isn't a key, but there are a lot more of them around than either the #20 or #22. Is part of this due to white covers versus dark covers? Does it seem like the white cover books have a lot more high grades in the census? CG
