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.
