Great to hear as I own both books!  I was just curious if the recent surge in demand has been equal among both books?

I think so but TBHWY prices have been going up on a lot of books! Including ones I never would think would be worth $$$

7.0 is nothing to sneeze at for GSX 1!

It's sure worth more than $500 now!

I would feel good if I were you!

Sometimes it's hard  just because I had a low grade ASM 129 and IH 180...

But I didn't have GSXM #1, so the collector in me wanted that taken care of

Then prices went crazy, I've got the higher grade 180, maybe with Disney and Netflix prices may simmer to upgrade that ASM 129 

Just lucky I got in on any of them

I'm not gonna lie, If Nightcrawler wasn't my favorite character, I never would have owned multiple copies of this book throughout my life.

He's my second favorite x man. I think Wein designed the red vest a little too pointy at the shoulders though. Do you own ASM 161 or 162?

I just got it ....... now what?

 

I do think this book will jump a bit more when an MCU movie is announced.

Wow, I paid $3600 for a 9.4 in 10/18.

Final sale price of $5200. I wonder how much the white pages and old label played in the jump?

I was finally able to snag my holy grail of owning a Giant-Size X-Men 1 (CGC 7.0 Signature Series with Stan Lee). Problem is, when it arrived in the mail, the case was all cracked and seriously looks as though it's been tampered with. The book looks more like a 5.5 in my opinion. Buyers beware of purchasing off eBay, even with if the seller has nothing but positive reviews, make sure to do your diligence.

Does it look like shipping damage or was the case tampered with beforehand? The new cases are very hard to mess with without breaking. So what do you mean by looks tampered with?  Just look at the videos on how to open new CGC cases. If it was shipping damage, there is a chance that whatever damaged the case also got the book.

 

If you got scammed, that sucks. So contact the seller ASAP and calmly say what the issues are. Contact eBay also and file a claim, they are generally generous to buyers and you will get you money back. If it is shipping damages, it is time to file a claim.

It's not one of the newer cases, but from the previous design. The case has a massive hole in the upper left corner, which caused a huge crack in the whole upper portion of the case. Also, the broken pieces have fallin inside of the case. When the seller did his listing, he only provided images of the front and not the back (which is where all the damage is), so there's something fishy about that. 

So the real annoying thing is, since this is a Signature Series, it puts the whole autograph in question. Would I be able to send into CGC and just get it re-slabbed? Or would they give me a green label since it's now hard to prove the signatures authenticity? Any help on this would be awesome. Thanks!!!

Have the seller refund enough to pay for it though....

You could always email Brittany McManus about it 

bmcmanus@cgccomics.com

She could put your mind more at ease for reholder I think.... and I think cgc would do it without regrading 

Not sure what @drotto will say

It's all good

but pack it carefully when you ship, don't crack the case any further, CGC  will crack the case and give it a once over to make sure that the case cracking didn't hurt the book etc, but I've had cases crack similar that got reholdered fine

Awesome, thanks! I'll definitely make sure it's packed properly this time around. I really don't wanna have to return to the seller, so I'm hoping this might work out.

If you send brittany the email with the pics you provided tonight, maybe she could give a definite yay or nay by late tomorrow. If the seller can wait or idk.

I really think that it's saveable but be 100% sure if possible
