X-men are like potato chips
After I made up my mind to work on a mini-run, I had a blast doing it. I have all but one now.
This picture doesn't show my X-men 94 because it's being re-graded. And I'm missing the #100. Two of these books came from the BST area here at a good price. Two came from ebay. The #98 and #101 came from a swap meet. Notice that the X-men 101 is a 9.2. I had planned to buy a lower grade comparable to my GSXM1 and my #94, but I got such a good deal on that 9.2 that I stretched to buy it. Glad I did! What was painful is at the same time, I was given such a good price on the #98 that I couldn't say no to it either, even though it completely tapped me out. Still, I've never regretted stretching to buy a good book. Once you own it, you're glad you did.
One question you might have is, "Why X-men?" Besides the classic story and the fact that I've assembled the set I wanted in my youth, I also wanted to avoid the hype. I don't enjoy buying books that are inflated due to movie hype. I think it's smart to go after classics that aren't hyped. I figure the classics will always be in demand.
