F For Fake Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I don't know that the Magneto cover is actually in smaller supply (and "smaller supply" aren't words that I'd normally ever attribute to X-Men 1) but anecdotally I can say that I buy X-Men 1's when I find them in NM shape for 50 cents or less, to fill a comic rack in my basement. They look snazzy, and they're dirt cheap. Anyway, after having done this for a couple years, I have stacks and stacks of Storm and Cyclops covers, but very few Magneto covers. Not sure why that is.

It seems that there is something with the Magneto cover. Go collect.com assigns it a FMV of 75 in 9.8 while all the other covers FMV is 45-55????

Out in the middle of a walkway were like 50 X-men #1's from 1992, and none of them were the "Magneto" cover and all were "Storm" or "Cyclops" covers.... I went over 3 feet away to the bins, as it was buy one get one free and they have new stock with new bags and boards; Anyway, in the "X-men" slot were more X-men #1's from 1992 and these were mostly the "Magneto" covers I didn't bother to count the total of everything or all X-men #1's or even ratio's BUT It did make me think of this thread oh and they were all price at a $1 they might not have been in the best condition either, most looked NM but 9.8's are fickle to me....

Martin4 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 For some reason I have more of the other covers also hence the reason I pulled the Magnetos and was disappointed to find this defect on the back cover of most of them. Every other cover does not have it and believe me I have many. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonJohn Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 From what I remember the X-Men covers were released one a week, not all at once, so stores may have placed orders assuming each cover released would see less demand, which would put Magneto at the end of the line (but before the deluxe).

I checked my lcs and they had zero (0) X-Men #1s! They have a couple of 2s and the rest of the run in multiples but no #1s at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These books were probably one of the most printed books of all time but I have noticed an uptick in price on graded 9.8 copies on eBay. Just wish mine did not have that indent.

This book had the highest print run of any comic book ever printed. ~ 8.25 million copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
