I've put in an offer on several sites only to have it accepted right away, making it seem like the standing offer on the sites were just shill offers placing a floor on the book. Until a book sells, asking prices and anonymous offers are completely meaningless to me. Sweet Lou 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CycleGirl Posted November 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2021 Here are the results of the C'Link auction that ended on 11/4/2021 X-Men #1 CGC 2.0 $9,151 X-Men #1 CGC 4.0 $16,679 X-Men #1 CGC 6.5 $38,511 The price on the 6.5 was a bit low as these have been selling above $43k . It definitely looks like sales are softening a bit along with the rest of the market. It might be time to pick up some deals.

It might be time to pick up some deals. thanks for sharing these results. i'd guess that the soft result on the 6.5 is mostly because it does not present that well for the grade. i've also seen worse, but it's quite toned all over and that top edge is an issue. the price for the 4.0 is in line with recent sales on gpa. but you're right, prices are generally down from springtime, with the exception of some key books. hulk1, af15, and all ff keys seem to be stronger than ever.

Bluemedgroup Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 With news of X-men 97 show from Disney + day, I won’t be surprised to see X-men reversing direction and going back to positive trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 That might cause a little bump. But for sure as soon as there is any kind of affirmative MCU mutant stuff we'll see upward trends again. RetiredOldMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6.5 looks somewhat underwhelming to me because of the marvel chipping and pre-chipping on the cover and the cream/tan looking cover (this , despite the seemingly excellent "ow/w" "pq" on the label. ) -J.

Popular Post srezvan Posted December 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2021 I had a goal of buying X-Men #1, which I accomplished two years ago, right before the prices skyrocketed. I funded it by selling items from my collection that I didn't really want anymore. I also slabbed my raws of #10 and under, except for #8, which I discovered had an ad page cutout. And given the current TATs, it's unlikely I'll ever submit again, or at least for a long, long time. Since I completed my run, I've wanted to line up all 544 issues (+ -1, + variants, + annuals, etc.) in one room and get an epic picture. I had a little free time around Thanksgiving, so my daughter helped me get all 544 issues laid out neatly in the hallway (with my wife's approval, of course). Well, we quickly ran out of room, so I stopped at #66, where the reprints started. Superman2006, Pantodude, alexgross.com and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having lead to millions of new fans and interest in Marvel comics, key issues have skyrocketed in value in recent years. X-Men #1 is an all-time classic key issue, ranking among the most influential and important comics ever. An 8.5 recently sold for almost $160,000 while a 9.2 recently sold for $250,000. X-Men #1 has been hitting record prices this year. What will it be worth after the next generation of X-Men movies and fans? remember how they said the 15% buyers premium awhile back was because a consignor wanted it?? yeah right, and airline baggage fees were a temporary measure too 20 years ago. more and more items on comicconnect have the buyers premium on them. but is it calculated for you when you bid, or do i have to do actual math when placing a bid? their little tiny buttons for 'next page' are infuriating, and the site loads slowly. imagine how many more bidders they'd have if their site was good and they had a consistent BP policy instead of jerking us all around. i havent bought a book from them yet and remain unlikely to do so. comiclink and heritage, who straight up cheat, end up getting most of my comics money. and private dealers.
