TheDanimal Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) 1-66 is actually the original X-men stories. 67-93 were all reprints of those issues. Sales were bad and they stopped producing new X-mens for I think 5 years??? Then of course Giant size X-men #1 came out and we had the new X-men and then they restarted with issue 94. I actually might even do the reprints after I go for 94-200 or so. I do want 1-200 eventually but 1-66 is most important to me and my original goal. Chris Claremont's era IS my favorite storylines though so that will be fun and a lot cheaper. I will probably have to go for NM on everything in that run. Make sense or am I rambling??

LloydJBailey Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Makes perfect sense... I feel like an idiottt for not knowing they were reprints... I didn't even know that!! Is Chris Claremont hard to get a signature from? He shows up pretty regular, right? Edited February 8, 2010 by LloydJBailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelfangirl Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Makes perfect sense... I feel like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person for not knowing they were reprints... I didn't even know that!! Is Chris Claremont hard to get a signature from? He shows up pretty regular, right? Chris Claremont signatures are not hard to find,I even have a Uncanny X-Men #205 CGC 9.8 signed by Chris Claremont and Barry Windsor-Smith (thumbs u (not for sale of course ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortoise Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Cool man you must be getting close to finishing that run?? still need the big 1 and a few minor holes left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDanimal Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 You'll be done soon enough. I was talking with my girl tonight about possibly doing a super beater ASM 1-100 run eventually. I'm talking as cheap as I possibly can per issue as long as they're complete That would be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDanimal Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ya I just think it would be so much fun to see how affordable I can do an ASM 1-100 run. Maybe even document the entire thing to show collectors on a budget that it can be done. #1 would obviously be most expensive but i'd probably buy a coverless copy and have Matt Nelson add a cover and press it. I wouldn't just get beaters for the very early issues, I would do it for every single one within that run Just to go as cheap cheap cheap as possible.

TheDanimal Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 It totally would! I'll have to do that when I start. Serious about my X-men and starting my Bone run but will have to start soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDanimal Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Now that I'm looking around, I think for the most part, these books would be so low that most people wouldn't even list them for sale because it's not worth it in the .5-1.0 range . Making a thread about it would actually help though and basically I would have to use the resources here to see what people can pull out for me. That'll be fun!
