Just started adding my X-Men 1-200 run!

 

Well, 71 issues, 33% complete, for 6038 points and a rank of 54 in the run. I'm pretty happy with that for a start. I have most of the X-men 1-200 in my hands, but the CGC has another 30 in process and I have another 6 shipping to me. I'm not going to be winning any awards, but this has been an ongoing project of the past 2 years as I've concentrating my collecting on a legacy collection and investment.

 

Plus, I do have reader copies as well as Essential X-Men TPBs so I can revisit the mutants whenever I want.

 

Wanted to say hello and look forward to comparing collections.

Congratulations! I can imagine the thrill of trying to reach 100% for a relatively popular (hence, many competing sets!) set like X-Men. I am trying to do the same with my Avengers 1-503 set (coincidentally, I'm at 33% too), and struggling with whether to submit raw/ likely mid-grade issues I currently possess for CGC grading, or just wait for some of the issues I need to be made available in online auctions at an affordable price.

 

Not sure I can ever complete this ever, but then again the fullfillment lies in the journey anyway, no?

 

All the best in your efforts to complete man
