Marvelfangirl Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 For some reason SA X-men is the last Marvel series I still need to complete. I finished #94 - #400 a few years ago but for some reason got sidetracked and never did the early issues. About 4 months ago I picked up a nice X-men #1 and decided to go full steam ahead. Slowly starting buying up the remaining books through to #66 and now I have most of the first 50 run complete. I go for the mid-grade books all the time, but got a little lucky last month when I picked up a bunch of about 20 books all advertised as being VG/F. Looked them over and one was a VG/F and all the rest were over...some way over. Those are some pretty nice books you got there (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc120us Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Was anyone here bidding on this book? X-Men #1 It was at $51,000 with three days to go and then all of a sudden poof it ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcade Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Was anyone here bidding on this book? X-Men #1 It was at $51,000 with three days to go and then all of a sudden poof it ends. No way for me. I am the collector known as Mr. shallow pockets. If I were to spend 50 grand on a book, I better be able to drive it or live in it, or my wife would kill me.

Flash105 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 There are a lot of threads discussing this list of keys vs. that list of keys and the one thing I notice is that silver age X-Men gets the shaft, especially number one. In my mind X-Men is the second most important book behind ASM. I know FF started the deal but I have always thought of them and Avengers as second rate compared to X-Men. I may be biased since I grew up in the 70s but I would like to hear what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be biased since I grew up in the 70s but I would like to hear what others think. I think X-Men #1 gets a decent amount of props but the rest of the issues do get shafted. I love the SA run expecially the first 20 issues and the last 17. Unfortunately, Stan and Jack gave up on the X-Men too early and never gave it a proper run. (Stan even admits that in interviews).

Flash105 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 But will #1 ever reach the point of being a top five silver age Marvel. I know it is not as hard as FF1 or Hulk 1 but the demand has to be a lot greater. You are right about the first 20. There are some classic covers in there and issue 50 is to die for in my book.

Flash105 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 You did a good job buying all of those raw and not ending up with any PLODs. I am not sure if 2003 was still the wild west but when I was buying in the early 90s it was definitely the wild west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
