Xmen 1, hulk 181, giant size 1, xmen 94 and xmen 12. Thoughts ? I would probably go (in terms of importance to the XMen): X-Men 1 (1963) GSXM 1 Hulk 181 X-Men 4 (1963) X-Men 94 X-Men 14 (1963) X-Men 101 X-Men 12 (1963) I think XMen 14 is massively underrrated but I could see the argument for reshuffling XMen 14, 12, and 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree xmen 14 is underrated, that' why I recently picked one up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree xmen 14 is underrated, that' why I recently picked one up I think heroes are always more important than villains (with the exception of major villains like Magneto, Dr. Doom, and maybe Thanos) - Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are bigger players in the Marvel Universe than the Juggernaut and Sentinels (although arguably smaller impact on X-Men) but it is also the 2nd Magneto and the 1st Brotherhood - which I think sets up the whole Magneto's view of Mutants and how they will oppose the X-Men throughout the series (plus it is 1st Toad! ). Overall I think X-Men 4 nudges 12, 14 and 94 - but could see arguments as to why it shouldn't. Knightsofold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 X Men 94 is much higher on that list in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highest I can see it going is from my #5 to #4 - so still behind X-Men 1, GSXM1 and Hulk 181. I think it is hard to argue X-Men 94 is more important than any of those three books ...... but happy to be convinced otherwise. I need to get back in this club after selling my GSXM1 CGC 8.5 ...... I am thinking matching CGC 7.0's, now just to track them down in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKinTO Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 GSX1 and X94 are currently my near-term "grail-level" purchases. I only want to buy these once for the personal collection, and have been keeping an eye out for these on EBay and other places. I'm a "bang-for-your-buck" guy, and while most of my "PC" books are 9.6, they're primarily copper / modern, and so I find 9.6 a good "value", not having to pay up the 2x+ price for 9.8. For these books though, I've decided I'm going to go for 9.2 - think that's a nice sweet spot, before prices start getting really exponential (9.2 -> 9.4 -> 9.6 -> 9.8), but I like that it's still technically NM. Given I want to buy just once, really trying to find one with White Pages and a good wrap. Loved reading through this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebo357 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'm definitely a value collector too, but I set my sights even lower with my 8.5. I do think it looks great now that I completed my trifecta, and I'm just not interested in spending enough money on a better looking X-Men #1. I've got a pretty ragged raw 95, but I can't work up the excitement to spend a decent amount on #94 when Wolverine is the only one excluded from the cover (aside from his head in the corner.) I'm sure I'll pick one up eventually for completion's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 007 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 ComicConnect on 12/8/17 had a GSX1 9.8 CGC sale for a strong price for $8200. Anyone else have any GSX1 9.6/9.8 CGC or CGC SS or X94 9.6/9.8 CGC or CGC SS or higher recent sales not listed on GPA? I'm tying track books I have and want to purchase. I wish all the auction houses listed on GPA, would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
