Casey, It's always tough for me to think about ever selling some of my ASM's after I finish assembling my run as you are with your gorgeous X-men run. .......but again I am single, no kids, and still a dating like a male-whore. I am sure this is the right decision, and I hope you are not done collecting. SOT Edited December 15, 2009 by spiderman-on-tilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Great books, Bob! Thanks, but I'll take your X-Men run any day! Sorry you have to part with it, Casey, but it's reassuring that you can raise some serious coin in a short period of time, should you ever need it, by selling funny books. Perhaps those unable to afford copies from the #1 registry set will instead vie for copies from the #12 set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etanick Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 looks like the Pedigree Grand Auction next Jan will also have X-men 1 9.2 as well as 9.4 for #2 to #4 I guess we won't have to wait till Feb to see the fireworks. Sellers are coming out of the woodwork to get ahead of each others. I don't be surprise at all if some one else threw a 9.0 or 9.2 copy in the CL exchange before then.

TheDanimal Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I just officially bought an X-men #1. A 4.0 restored copy but a very presentable book! I'm very excited. I'll post pictures when I get it. I'm sure I'll want to upgrade eventually but it's just a book i've always wanted and will be extremely proud to own!

TheDanimal Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Still have a couple time payments to make but I think I got a great deal! I was told the restoration looks mostly professional besides a little amateur looking color touch. I've never bought a restored book but I wanted an X-men #1 so bad that I figured it was a worthy investment. Someday i'll upgrade to maybe a 6.0 unrestored or something...but until then, here it is! Getting it from Metropolis. Extensive: Color touch, staple reinforcement, pieces added. Edited January 6, 2010 by TheDanimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very reasonable prices and I think a lot of collectors will be buying Purple Labels in the future. I think they are very undervalued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-men #1 9.0 cream/ow even with that PQ, that is a great price..I wished I placed that offer I saw that too...that book sold in a flash. Since Disney has finalized the deal with Marvel, there is an uptick for most Marvels keys. Prices are beginning to rise again and these books are very liquid if priced right. In comparison to it's counterparts, DC keys are much more scarce than Marvel keys. Because Marvel has a larger collector base, the demand stampede the supply. There are a lot of good things going for Marvel, but let's just hope Disney does the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDanimal Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I agree. I had a choice between this copy and a 1.0 unrestored copy of the same price. I choose the restored based on appearances. When I upgrade eventually I'll replace it with an unrestored higher grade copy...but I just didn't want to get a book that looked like it was falling apart almost. All in all i'd rather have unrestored, but I am more than happy to pick up a SA key at the price I paid that I can be proud of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
