Pressman X-Men

[shadroch]

Is there a way to tell which issue is in a sealed game box?

[RockMyAmadeus]

By opening it.

I believe the ones with the silver X-men 11 has the picture of the comic on the box.

 

As far as I can tell, the 297 was only a mail away offer.

 

I cannot figure out by looking at the other boxes if there is any distinguishing marks regarding whether they include a 303 or a 307, sorry.

I thought these all came with the Silver X-Men 11.

 

Are the 297, 303, and 307 the Gold logo variants?

Yep.

I picked two sealed copies of the game last year and both had this issue in it.

The very first, and very few, that were sold had the #297 in them. A greater number had the #303 and less (but more than the #297) had the #307 in it. Each of these had an orange burst with "comic included" on the front of the box. Towards the end, the orange burst had a picture of the silver #11, and that book was included. The very last games distributed had a mail away offer. I think you got what you got in these instances (most of what I've heard have been 303's or 307's).

 

I picked up a game last year on ebay that had a #297 in it.

I learn something new everyday. That is very interesting for sure, and a great find for you.

[MattP]

I thought you had to mail away to get the 297. Guess i was wrong too. Certainly not the first time.

[cyberjad]

Have a copy I would love see go to a good home if anyone is looking.

[B-Smooth]

Anyone know the print run on these?

[B-Smooth]

Got this for $3. It's only a F-F+, but still a good pickup for the pressman collection.

[Anfield Fox]

Very nice, congrats.

[B-Smooth]

Very nice, congrats.

Thanks. I just bought the 307 for $18 VF-NM. I think that's a decent price? I just need the silver one to complete the set.

[Pike's Comics]

I honestly just bought Xmen 303 as I think it is the best comics that was written during that decade.

[B-Smooth]

Have the 2 good ones now, for my set. Both 9.4-9.6. Still need the 11, and 303 in NM to complete the set...

I bought the game when it was new and I got a 297. Unfortunately, I cannot remember if it came in the game or not. I've had that comic almost 20 years and for a long time during that, I couldn't even remember where it came from. I used to check Wizard and Overstreet for a price that never showed up...

[B-Smooth]

That's amazing. From what I keep hearing, the 297 ONLY came as a send away book. I know it fetches big money. The 307 isn't easy to get in top shape, but is much cheaper.

[PeterPark]

I still have the box the game came in, but it wasn't obvious from that either if the comic actually came in the box. I believe that it could have, as another boardie pointed out, because I don't recall getting one in the mail. I always thought it was cool to have but it was only several years ago I found out it is one of the rarest modern variants out there!
