Jahag Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I am starting to think more and more that this book may bump in value in the near future. In a few other threads there were quite a few people looking to pick one up. X-Men was a big book throughout the latter part of last century and those individuals are getting more disposable income. I totally agree. I was into comics as a kid (in the 90s) , subscribed to Wizard, etc. I didn't know what AF15 was until I started lurking this board a few weeks ago. Before I started reading up on the SA Keys, in my mind X-men 1 would be my ultimate "dream book". I mean it honestly still is (even though I somehow want an AF15 , too!) The popular characters of the present, 10 yrs ago, and 20 yrs ago, should be somewhat a relative driver of future demand. (Especially if we are comparing blue chip characters to blue chip characters... X-men and of course Spidey were big in the 90s... I don't remember any of my 12yo buddies thinking the Fantastic Four were cool!)... just one anecdote but bottom line I consider X-men to be very top tier in terms of mainstream cultural staying power. Would put Batman and Spidey in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how old you guys are? As I feel similarly. I am 24 and the two books I have coveted most since childhood are XM 1 and AF 15. Admittedly I wanted an AF 15 more as I always loved spidey more as a kid but XM 1 is a close second. I know when I was younger I thought FF was boring. I have grown to appreciate them more and ff1 does have the second best cover, behind AF 15, IMO. But nostalgia trumps the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwog Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 23 is getting very close! I started getting raw at some varying grades but then decided to go CGC to ensure the condition I wanted long term. I have a first issue CGC 4.0 that I will eventually upgrade. Nice! The CGC route would be too expensive for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magneto Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm 36 and when I got back into collecting a few years back this was one of the main books I thought about as really wanting as I was a huge X-men fan growing up. The goal not is to get a complete run from beginning to end! 43 books to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
