Popular Post KirbyJack Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 The title is too important not to have its own place to showcase every glorious issue. I’m a low grade collector generally speaking, so the bar is starting pretty low! Jasonmorris1000000, mec3437, Morganmi and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 I've got all the Byrne and Cockrum issues but these are the only ones I've scanned so far. The X-Men were my ex-wife's favorite and she was a grade snob. Even though she bought raw copies she would scrutinize them closely before buying them and would not let me read them. Smart move on her part. I'd be willing to bet some of them are 9.8's. I haven't talked to her in 8 years. I hope she didn't sell them back then. She also has an X-Men #1 that I bought her as a gift in 2008. Just 13 years ago it was $1000 if you can believe it. That one has gone nuts.

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The first Byrne X-Men's. I used to have a pristine copy of Iron Fist #14 but sold it years and years ago unfortunately. I don't even have a beat up copy these days. Tghutcn, KirbyJack, Morganmi and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I've always been shocked as to how affordable this one is for being the first Spider-Man and Wolverine team up Tghutcn, Morganmi and mec3437 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 High grade copies of this one go for crazy money these days. I remember reading it as a kid and thinking "So that's what Wolverine looks like without his mask!"

Popular Post rexinnih Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'm so glad that I made an effort to work on a complete 94 - 143 (decided to stop when Byrne left) and a few scattered keys after that. tonytitan, ashsaytr, Jasonmorris1000000 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a run I've completed (nearly) and sold off (stupidly) multiple times. I may be priced out now; the books I've posted above might be it for me unless I find more below-market readers.

Popular Post jimjum12 Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just got this from Sweet Lou ... love this cover. I used to consider this solidly in the Copper Age ... but I think general consensus now is a 1984 cut-off ... I suppose George Orwell would be OK with that.

Brock Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 These all bring back memories... I had a goal of collecting every appearance of the New X-Men. Back then, that might have been 200 books - now, it would probably be 20,000. I remember going through Fantaco's X-Men Chronicles in 1982 to make a full list. Back then, the tough books were thing like The Uncanny X-Men at the State Fair of Texas, which was a whopping $15 in the guides, and incredibly hard to find for me in Canada. Flash forward 40 years, and its probably worth less than I paid back then...

Popular Post The Less Blob Posted March 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2021 I kind of think the few actual team appearances of the x-men between #66 and GS X-Men 1 are a bit overlooked, not the solo appearances by x-men members, but the actual team showing up, 3 members at least. I always liked this one.. yes, it is mostly just banshee, but the team shows up toward the end and it starts a few issues where the team is involved. There weren't many bona fide x-men appearances for about 6 years there. mec3437, mysterymachine, KirbyJack and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
