My last try at a 8.0 copy was in late 2019 and was around 22K in a Heritage auction. I love the book and had planned on upgrading last year but it absolutely rode the hype train last year, even folks saying it is not going anywhere but up and once we see them join the MCU it will explode in value.... I doubt it drops to pre 2020 levels but if it does I will be upgrading. KCOComics and alexgross.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srezvan Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 What in the world is going on with this thread? I never thought I'd say to myself, "I wish they'd go back to arguing about recent auctions." And boy do I hate all the back and forth about the sales, but at least that's related to the comic. Or any comic, for that matter. PKJ and alexgross.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply awful...one day he will leave and hopefully the next one does much better. This guy has only begotten chaos in all areas. Obama was not even close to been this bad neither was Clinton. Biden is horrible just simply horrible. Yeah, I have mostly been ignoring the nonsense you post but this takes the cake. Political posts of any kind have no place here.

Albert Thurgood Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Yikes I got a post deleted and a warning from the mods for pretty innocuous remarks about Australian politicians that the overwhelming majority of you would never have heard of.

bullmark Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) A friend gave a Xmen 1 (UK variant) pretty rough condition but can't complain when it's free ... I noticed that the page 8 was detached and there is not the other page so it's missing I guess it's a ad page the story looks complete. I wanted to know if it is a ad page ? and if someone had a picture of it ? thanks Walter Edited September 16, 2022 by bullmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
