god503 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Snagged a 9.4 graded Giant Sized X-men 1. As exited as i am about finding out that it wasn't pressed and what will/can happen after pressing, the question is, would you add a chris claremont sig to this? I dont want to turn it into a debate of sig fans vs non sig fans... I am strictly talking about the financial aspect of a long term investment. I know he did nothing for the book but obviously he is as close to a mr x-men just like romita SR is mr. amazing spiderman.

While its true Len Wein gets credit, Claremont did contribute to the ending. Then next issue #94 continues to take over and write with byrne and shape the X-Men as we know it. Hope that helps.

I don't know how credible this source is - but this is attributed to Claremont Chris Claremont’s involvement in Giant Size X-Men #1 “Most of the story had already been mapped out, with the existing X-Men…trapped at the mercy of Krakoa, only Cyclops having escaped to lead a new, untested assemblage into battle to save his comrades. What didn’t exist yet, said Claremont, was ‘a way to get rid of Krakoa,’ which he supplied." ADAMANTIUM and Sandflea 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - in all seriousness though, if you are looking for investment potential, I see Claremont as adding ZERO unless you can find someone who is buying for Registry points. There are lots of copies with Len Wein and a lot with Stan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god503 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 it was a crona virus discount, otherwise i wouldnt have dumped the stimulus check on it. the fact that it was never pressed turned out to be a bonus.

While Claremont has very little involvement in GSX 1, I doubt most people would be Xmen fans if it was for his writing from 94- 143 & up! so maybe someone might want his sig because he is Mr Xmen?! sorta like when I see Stan Lee sigs on a book he had nothing or very little to do with....people still seem to want the SL sig...

This I agree with. My first books were Amazing spider mans. Post romita SR, but I would add him to all my ASM books Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely possible - but I was pretty vocal about not getting Stan's sig on books that he didn't work on as well. So hopefully you can mark me up some points for consistency.
