Actually, I just started (unintentionally) and X-Men SA collection thanks to Pirate. So I think my New Year's resolution is going to be to work from that issue back to number 1. (which will take more than 1 year.) I'd like to slab each book as well.

Well Rob (great name ) you cannot find another bunch of great x-men-ites then the ones who frequent this thread to help you out with that goal

though watch out for KC and MK they be mean and nasty

New Years Resolutions:

 

1) to cut down the issues required for a complete run of X-men from 31 down to 15 (if not better)

 

2) to send to CGC my raw issues of between 1-94

 

3) to start to upgrade those issues i already have slabbed

 

AND THE BIG RESOLUTION

 

4) to finally get my holiest of holies grail...X-Men #1

 

What are your resolutions for the coming year?

 

My resolutions........

 

Continue my X-men upgrade

1) Fill in the few holes left in 100-201

2) fill the reprint holes 9.4 and up (slabbed of course)

3) continue the upgrade of SA X-books to 9.4 or higher.

4) pickup an x-men 3 in 9.4

5) fill in CA and Modern X-men holes when available.

 

I'll be very busy

I've got my for you to succeed (well except when we are both going after the same book...not that i would do that to YOU ).

The upgrading is the devil of it all, but it must be done if you want to settle fully on

Lower than expected but still my grail

 

Decent page quality for a 3.0 OW / W

 

 

a great grail get!!!

179 is one of the first X-Men I can remember owning... love the cover

 

Personally I think Kitty should've stayed with him...nice guy, and looks aren't everything ya know...

 

It's that same logic seen when you see a lot of

ugly kids walking the streets these days...

 

 

 

Yes but when he got his "make over" from Apocalypse, he was quite buff. Am sure Kitty would have loved it...

Books that I am working a trade for and will be mine very soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice books, Danny

those are excellent books, especially the #164 cover that you get them all

Crikey!

 

Thanks for sharing those Mr. Highgrade

 

They are beauts.

 

Hold on a second..Crikey!!! I am sorry but that's a penalty for use of a unique aussie phrase...where is your I'm An Aussie card ?

 

An apt punishment will be created...

 

Sorry, Mate. I was in the middle of an oilcan when I wrote that post.

Here's a new one for me........

 

 

Dude your buying too many books, Im never going to catch up

 

I agree. This is my last for the year. I promise. I think. I hope.

YES!!!! oops i mean too bad

Here's a new one for me........

 

Now that is very nice

Here is one that the postman brought today!

 

This is my absolute favorite Steranko cover. A Masterpiece

 

CycleGirl

 

Now that is an impressive cover!!

OK, since i am a nice guy...check out vintagecollectables.net ( assume that it's a good honest site overall)

 

I did a little comparison with a few other sites and the prices are not too bad considering the grades.

 

An example Metro has a raw #96 for $245 as opposed to the slabbed 9.6 for $440

 

Good luck. I'll have to pass. Maybe next year for me.

 

then i shouldn't tell you about #103 & #105 in 9.8?

 

 

 

have i tempted ya?

 

My heart says yes but my wallet is screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I have already have spent too much. Thanks but I'll have to wait until next year. What site did you find these beauties at?

Found them at Heritage. They've got arun in their weekly auction #92-109 plus some more. Lowest grade is 9.2. So they may not make it past this auction.

And like you my wallet is screaming at the ref for a 10 count, but i am going to make a play for one of them if not both.

I noticed you bidding on those books this morning, phoenix. I put a couple half-hearted bids in myself...

 

Congrats!

Thanks for that, I was surprised that i got virtually all of them

And by the way, love those early covers,especially that lurid red cover of #17

Congrats!! Where did you see the 96 in 9.6? I've been looking for that one in 9.6.

.don't you bloody well dare, you yank fiend you

Actually I'll let you know later when i get home to confirm because this site had 4 x-men titles #20, 38,96, 143(i think). the #20 was in 9.4, the 38 & 96 were in 9.6 and the 143 was in 9.8 ow/w

the moldy oldies from GA land...

 

Though i will admit to owning some of the GA oldies

just bought my first SA x men books 370 for the lot

Nice books. Congrats!

Excellent start well done

i think if you added up all titles collected in the 334 pages of this thread. x-men would win by a landslide

 

Goes to show you how plentiful they are out there

You cannot blame us x-men fans for respecting and looking after our copies, unlike the moldy oldies from GA land...

 

 

And you didn't go after the #92?

 

That was priced beyond even my deep pockets.

 

That final price was absurd

What did it finish at??

 

About $718 from memory..i know it was a 9.8, but still!!

 

According to the census, it's the only 9.8. so it wasn't that bad I guess.

Very true, i just wish it was mine
