An underrated book. Early X-Men:

i love that one, too.   #30 was the first book i grabbed off a spinner, but this was one of the back-issues i managed to scrounge.

This is a great book! I really like the look of Marvel Girl on this cover. I know that look didn't last long, but that doesn't make me like it any less.

Origin of Dr. Doom. What not to like?

i do too!  and let me show a minor book but one which i'm very proud to have--the ONLY don rosa silver age book i've ever come across since i started the silver age ped type-set many years ago.

I always thought a high grade run of MGCs would be cool. Probably tougher than the main run, since so few are slabbed.

I’ve been slowly putting together a run of  FF through 80.  (Likely to expand at least through the 12 centers.)

Heres some group shots.  1 thru 10 is halfway complete and 11 thru 20 is 60%.  Will post those when done.

For the first 22 issues, it was titled Marvel Collectors Item Classics.  It began by reprinting FF #2.  I think you're right that they're not easy to find in high grade condition, but there's a terrific set at the top of the CGC Registry (not mine): https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=42885

Thats it for now.  The last few I have to get are much more difficult in the mid grade range most of my runs in.   Not too many monsters in the 11 to 20 block, so hopefully I’ll be done with that one sooner rather than later.

Best of luck and definitely keep us posted!

I enthusiastically suggest that you finish out the whole Kirby run! Mid-grade copies of 81 to 102 (plus 108 and annuals) won’t set you back that much. 
Just a more natural stopping point.

if any one of you believe this is the first time this particular advice has been given on our boards, you are WRONG.
