Can you imagine the prices of the 1st appearances of Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Storm had they occurred in 3 separate titles? X-men 94 is a great book, but there are no 1st appearances and it's not even the 1st time all those characters united to form a team. It's over-rated, and over-valued. Yeah, it is. X-Men 94 features the formation of the new team, made up of about half the characters that appeared and worked together in GSX1.

Nowadays it seems first appearances and cover art are all that matter. ☹️ The story in GSX1 is bad (relative to X94) or doesn't matter for some reason? We aren't talking about Incredible Hulk 271 (a nearly unreadable book) now being valuable. BrooksR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't talking about Incredible Hulk 271 (a nearly unreadable book) now being valuable. What I was trying to say is that new collectors seem much more interested in first appearances than in storylines, where as in the “old days” the fact that Claremont’s story starts here was a much bigger deal than it is in today’s environment. I like GS1’s story, I wish I had one! At least I have the facsimile 🙂 WolverineX, KirbyJack, Lazyboy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post herc2000 Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2021 I remember buying X-Men 94, Giant Size 1 back in late 80's early 90's, they were always similar value then, or in the shops they were. I remember having the choice for one or the other and at the time went for the 94 as it was part of the run and the set.

I remember because the shop owner almost changed his mind and kept the book. (I didn't even haggle, just paid full price). Did you get it slabbed later to confirm that it was a 9.4? Because NM in 1995 could be anywhere from 7.0 - 10.0.. I have a slabbed 7.0 that would easily be called a NM by half the dealers in 1995 (which means we have to take those OPG 1995 values with a grain of salt). I briefly had a 181 that I have convinced myself was a 9.4, but that was 27 years ago, who knows what it actually was. $500 at a show in 1994 got me a "NM" Hulk 181, a 5.0 FF 48, a 9.0 ASM 100, a 7.0 Avengers 2, an 8.5-9.0 Iron Man/Subby, a 3.5 DD 1 (that turned out to have a tiny tear seal on the back, uhg!), a 7.0-7.5 Silver Surfer 1, and about 50 mostly 20 cent cover price captain americas and other 20 cent books, and about 10 sharp copies of Black panther 2.
