Dr. Balls Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Interesting story (at least, to me) about my X-Men #1. When I had my comic shop back in the 90's, I owned this book, and had it displayed at my store. When I closed up my shop in 1996, I sold all of my stock to a guy who lived across the state, including this X-Men #1 - and despite needing the money at the time, I always regretted it. Fast forward to 2012 - I haven't seen the guy I sold my books to for 16 years, and one day I randomly run into him at my LCS. I ask him about what ever happened to my X-Men #1 and he says "I think I still have it in one of my closets." So, I tell him that if he has it and was interested in selling, I'd buy it. I don't think I slept well for a few days until I heard from him. He found it (along with some other sentimental books from my shop) and said he would sell it back to me for what he bought it for: $400. So, a few weeks later he came back to town and I got my X-Men #1 back - taped and re-stapled spine just like I remember - 16 years after I sold it.

I'm sure things like this don't happen very often! Wish I could get some of my old toys and stuff back that I sold when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Men 1 was my first key I bought back in 1993 and has always been a top five SA key for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I don't think I've ever posted this here before... Amazing book! The inner cover ad really shows through on this one. I've seen this on other silver age comics. Why does this happen? Is it because the cover paper was slightly thinner on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
