  1. Purchased Star Wars #4 from Jeff and it was shipped very, very quickly.  The book was packaged well, the grade was spot on and the price was more than fair.  Jeff responds quickly and I highly recommend him.  Thanks, Jeff!

    just a year or two after this, i saw that xmen 1 was worth $400 in vf/nm condition in one of these price guides. i convinced my dad to give me $400 so we could invest in one for the future, and i went to one of the comic cons in nyc. no one had a nice copy on display there, and i returned the money to my father, disappointed. it was the most money i had ever held at one time. years later at sdcc i was amazed at just how many copies i saw on walls behind dealer booths. 

    That sounds really disappointing.  Did they have copies, but only in poor condition?  Did you and your dad get a 2nd chance at some other book, perhaps?  

    You do have a good point, though.  I remember trying to buy X-Men #94 several times from mail-order places but they didn't have it.  Back then you had to list alternates, and I frequently wasn't able to get every thing on my order.
