WOW.

No silver X-Men post since before Christmas.

Well I am starting to move over into the Silver age from the Bronze so that will change.

 

Here is a book I just purchased from Steve Borock this morning before the ascension. lol

Anyone out there. :cry: (Shouts into the wind.)

Am I the only one collecting theses things now. (shrug)

 

Anyway it should be obvious I am not really after super high grade on these right now, though 7.5 seems to be my low cut off point at the moment.

After I fill in most of my holes I will worry about upgrading them.

 

So what are the hard to get in grade books from this run? 1-93.

I know 1-66 are new and 67-93 are reprints. I know Neal Adams did a few covers, but which books are the most difficult to acquire besides #1-10?

If you are looking for 7.5 or under, it shouldn't be hard to find any of these books. It's when you get to 9.4 or higher, that it get's a little tough to find them. Out of the 11-93 run; 73, 74 and 79 are the toughest to find in 9.0 or higher. And they get very pricey in those grades.

Thanks Casey.

I am however doing 7.5 and over, not under.

I will probably make most of the reprint issues 8.5 or higher

I have spent so much on my high grade bronze run that it will be nice to buy cheap books again.

I will keep an eye out for good copies of 73,74 and 79.

Thanks,

Leon.

Congrats Casey...I'm glad you and Doc both reap the benefits, you obviously get a much superior book and Doc gets your cast off. :cloud9:

 

Jim

...and you're getting to be a pain in the ass.
