(Because it would probably cost you $1000 to get slabbed.) Probably! I'll probably slab it, eventually, but like to enjoy them raw for a bit. Collection had X-Men #1-230, plus other goodies.

Popular Post CatskillMike Posted May 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2021 I posted this years ago in this thread as a raw, but here it is back from CGC yesterday. Bought it off ebay around 2007. I was sweating out the resto check, but it passed. BlowUpTheMoon, bb8, Math Teacher and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedude Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 a restored .5 just sold for $9k. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin_t_a Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The restored .5 accepted an offer, it didn't sell for $9k. Although a .5 blue label sold for $6k just a few days ago, which is also unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some folks that are new to buying books don't utilize the internet well to find a better deal. Also, I think we are getting to a point where new buyers/collectors aren't as put off by restoration as much as older collectors. They just want the book.

Whatever it is it is me the https://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/search.asp?FocusedOnly=1&where=auctions&title=X-men+1+5.5&GO=GO&ItemType=CB I wonder if the PQ combined with the tanning and chipping at the right edge of the first book and the top edge of the second book has people concerned that those specific areas might be brittle? In the earlier days of the X-Men #1 runup these types of defects did not seem to matter as much, but maybe things are changing. There's still plenty of time left in both auctions for each book to jump substantially... Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
