CycleGirl Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 After a lot of searching, I finally found an upgrade for the 4.0 that I had in the #2 slot. It was tough, because I wanted something decent without spending too much. I'm particularly pleased about this one because, I have to admit, I was losing sleep by having a humble VG in my 1-66 run. Even the holes didn't bother me so much. This is a UK edition and it might be the highest graded UK edition (just from looking at what has been traded on GPA). Anyone know how I can find out? The Ebay seller is kittytaco_comics . He appears to be new on Ebay, based on feedback. Very good seller. CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creep3 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Wow this thread has really made me want to start collecting x-men. I am a amazing spider-man and iron man collector mostly. Can anyone recommend a good buy around $100 - $150 as a first x-men purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Wow this thread has really made me want to start collecting x-men. I am a amazing spider-man and iron man collector mostly. Can anyone recommend a good buy around $100 - $150 as a first x-men purchase? Are you a condition freak? I ask because for that money you can obviously acquire a very early issue (with Kirby interior art, e.g., 2-17) in low-mid grade, an upper mid-grade Adams issue (56-63,65), or an ultra high grade Byrne or Cockrum issue (102 and up). All are cool books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creep3 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I usuually collect issues that are atleast in 8.0 condition. I think i may however dip lower to allow for something in the silver age of x-men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycleGirl Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 X-Men books may not be as expensive as what you're used to with ASM. Above about issue #20, you should be able to afford an 8.0 or 8.5 . Even a 9.0 can often be had for under $120 or so. {{Shameless plug - watch for my auctions that will begin tomorrow and end 9/9 }} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycleGirl Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 New additions! These first two are from our very own KC. I'm particularly impressed with this #13! And here is a "micro-upgrade" that I picked up on Ebay. This replaces my 9.0 . CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
