Popular Post Skizz Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) My early X-men key collection is slowly coming along. I think I missed the boat on an X-Men 1. I need to have #12 graded and #2 re-graded by CGC. But being in the UK, it’s a real hassle, with taxes to pay in top of the grading fees.

What an amazing set you have put together Thank you so much Jeff! What if I told you that even though I thought I was done, getting this recognition made me look at my collection and decide I wasn't satisfied with one of the books? My OCD wasn't happy with a 9.4 copy of GSX #2 given that my #1 is 9.6 ... so literally two minutes ago I finalized a deal for this one. OK, now I'm done!!

I've only just started trying to add a few X-Men books to my collection, 12 and 14 are 2 I'd love to get. Those copies are brilliant. I'm also in the UK and realise they don't come around too often. However for grading purposes have you considered going through one of the approved dealers that CGC have listed? Takes away the hassle of arranging all your own insurance etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of chasing a 9.4 of X-Men #1 is so insane that it never entered my mind you could be talking about that. Of the big Silver Age Marvel keys, there is just one (DD #1) that was affordable enough for me to pick up in 9.4, and I'm really glad I did because these days ... not so much. Off the top of my head, I believe my oldest 9.4 is a tie -- JIM #86 and TTA #37 (Nov. 1962). FF #12 (March 1963) is my oldest 9.4 in the FF run and that's a bigger-ticket book than either of those. Avengers #2 and X-Men #2 (Nov. 1963) are also older than DD #1 and each kicks off their respective 9.4 runs. The big difference between Avengers and X-Men is that I am still looking to upgrade one Avengers book from 9.0 to 9.4.

Takes away the hassle of arranging all your own insurance etc. Also a Brit, I luckily completed my early X-men years ago, but never got them graded. Now I am regretting not getting them graded when I bought them as not only is the postage high, but most of the books now fall into the 'Walkthrough' fee scale so the costs are high. At the moment, I would rather waste the money on comics than grading, but at some stage I will need to consider getting books graded, but then the question is which ones!?!?!?!?
