jimbo_707 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 While I have been collecting for most of my life it was only about 2 years ago that I actually got ahold (CGC 7.5 red label for $20) of Uncanny X-Men #142 - a favourite cover / story of mine (from alternate reprints and TPB) and realized it was published in the same month/year of my birthday! I think everyone has such an issue - out of all the comics that were published in your birthday month/year which do you relate to the most and think represents you and your collection the best? and do you OWN a copy of it? I'm not sure if this sort of thing has ever been done/posted but kinda interesting to me. Like I mentioned above, here is my birthday issue: February 1981! You can easily find out yours by checking this page out. Comic books by month/year $20 for a 7.5? Is that a key issue? I sold my late 70s/early 80s runs of X-Men raw for about a few bucks apiece about 10 years ago, and everything later than 77 or 78 had gone straight from the newsstand into a polybag, so they were all 9.4-9.8 unpressed.

The-Collector Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I collect high grade bronze and my most coveted ga book is tec 31 so obviously I have an affinity for Bats 227. It was distributed in late October so I have found a few copies with my Birthday 'October 20' as the date stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkowl Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 This is a cool topic. (thumbs u Unfortunately, I'm not sure If i have a "Birthday" comic. I do, however, remember getting Nightcrawler 1 for my 10th birthday, and I couldn't have been happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess it is now a key considering the movie coming out, but back when I bought it I guess it was only a 'real cool' issue Most of the cost associated with it was the fact it was already CGC graded (so $20 for it seemed like steal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro1974 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) It's been some time i've been planning on getting my birthday comic, but unfornutelly i always puted aside buygint it. Nowadays it's (more and more) of an expensive book to get, featuring 2 of my fav. characters. Maybe one day...

azureXchocobo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I think the 1990s Spider-Man animated series is still my favorite cartoon from my childhood. My favorite episodes were the Secret Wars and pretty much anything with a Goblin in it. Thanks to this thread, I am more than pleased to say my "birth comic" is this: April 1986 <3 And thankfully already had this baby added to my registry early last year. Never ever going to part with it now. Well... unless a 9.9/10 comes along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2staples Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 A pretty appropriate title for my birth: 8 months later, the Chernobyl reactor melts down and this baby basks in the warm glow of ultra-radiation...and that is origin of the mutant that sits here before you today.
