Recently picked up #61, 68, 69, 76 and 89 on ebay. I will post some pics once they arrive. Brings me to set of 495 and run of 479. Getting much more difficult to fill large gaps with only older issues left.

Did you have one and sell it?! C'mon, man, times are a little tight, but that just means you gotta cinch that belt and eat some ramen instead of caviar for a few months!:D[/quote]

I wished it were a laughing matter - 15 months without a job, and you start looking at things (like comic books) QUITE differently.

Sorry, man, didn't know your situation... kinda wondered where you'd been, hadn't seen you on the boards for a while. :hmmmm: Yeah, guess comics take a back seat to food and drink at a time like this for you... hope it gets a whole lot better soon!:D

Hi Guys I just counted up my collection and, if my maths is correct I now have a set inc variants of 526 and a set not includiing variants of 469 :D I also have some edition variants that I am not including in either total I.e Direct /newstand editions where there is no discernable difference

My biggest run is 124 - Current

Those are some sweet comics you got there, Gaz, 'specially issues 95 and 121!:w00t: Funny to think you have a 9.6 #121 but your #266 came back a 8.5... the god of comics works in mysterious ways, methinks...:hmmmm:

Nice pick up yourself, there, Earl... clean and collectible, yet I doubt it drained the wallet. Thats pretty much what I'm looking for from #1-93. Should I find a better #94 for a good price I'll grab it, for now my 3.0 (or thereabouts) will suffice.:cool:

RE: Uncanny X-Men Collecting Thread

Earl Davis — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:38:12 GMT

I moved onto 503 including variants with this mid grade copy of issue 92 from mycomicshop.com...

gaz2810i — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:55:19 GMT

I thought you guys may appreciate my recent Purchases and CGC submissions. I recieved most of these back recently from CGC. Let me know what you think :D

X-Men 58 and GSX 1 - Both brought pre-slabbed
[IMG]http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad92/gaz2810i/IMG_0425.jpg[/IMG]

X-men 94 and 95, both submitted by myself
[IMG]http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad92/gaz2810i/IMG_0426-1.jpg[/IMG]

X-men 101, submitted by myself and 104, brought a while back (first slab) but recently re-holdered
[IMG]http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad92/gaz2810i/IMG_0427-1.jpg[/IMG]

X-men 121, Brought a week ago with 58, and 266, submitted by myself
[IMG]http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad92/gaz2810i/IMG_0428-1.jpg[/IMG]

X-men 475 Variant and 507 Variant, both submitted by myself
[IMG]http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad92/gaz2810i/IMG_0429.jpg[/IMG]

I also got these slabbed myself (except NM 87 which again I brought slabbed but had re-holdered and Avengers ann 10 which i brought a while back) and thought you may be interested as all but Chew no.1 has an X-men theme
[IMG]http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad92/gaz2810i/IMG_0430.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad92/gaz2810i/IMG_0431-1.jpg[/IMG]

I am particularly pleased with all these especially the NM 94 and the two variants. :cool: and thought I would post some pics

StarWarsEd — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:55:07 GMT

Well you guys know me, I'm always on the hunt for the obscure and rare Uncanny X-men variants. I found one recently and it finally arrived in the mail today. Its listed in the guide as 133B, its the Buy Rite Grow Toy variant. Just thought you guys might want to know how to ID this one versus the Marvel Legends 133A variant. Its not hard, check the images below.

[b]133B Buy Rite Grow Toy Variant[/b]
[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2518/4090950361_3c7e731e5c_o.jpg[/img]

[b]Its easy to spot due to its size. Most scans don't show the true size of this issue.[/b]
[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2794/4090950041_3d583e2b04_o.jpg[/img]

I wonder if a note on the size might be useful in the guide.

Good stuff one and all, and a BIG THANK YOU to Taylorja comics for 75, 83, 87, and 88... the best eBay buys I've made yet! The best 'grading' to 'reality', would do a lot more business with him/her if he/her had more early UXM to sell.:cool:

RE: Uncanny X-Men Collecting Thread

Slaymaster — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:16:07 GMT

Expander,

With the joys of eBay all things are possible... like getting big lots and saving lots of cash.:D

Jesjet and others also sell comics as well as collect; get around and get to know the guys... another way to find the comics you're looking for, not to mention you know you'll get what you asked for.;)

Good luck in getting your UXM run/set going, just got back into collecting myself a couple years ago and its been pretty cool. (And unexpensive when you look around and find the 'secrets' to buying comics.)

RE: Uncanny X-Men Collecting Thread

expander — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:57:49 GMT

i may just part with it i got back into UXM with my kids because when the movies came out i was bummed and let down so me and my boys are trying to get some of the major story line put together i used to have about 200 books but i sold them when i finished high school and have REGRETTED it ever since i Pawned them for $110.00 Dollars. I was young and stupid. (not that young people are stupid but i was) i've never had anything slabbed is it really a hassle?

RE: Uncanny X-Men Collecting Thread

gaz2810i — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:43:19 GMT

Definantly get it slabed and if you want to sell it :Whistling:

RE: Uncanny X-Men Collecting Thread

expander — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:34:25 GMT

hello all just wondering if there are any posts in this forum about prouction numbers on the pressman mail away edition of UXM #307B i have one and i was wondering if i should have it slabbed........ It's in about a 9 to 9.2 condition by my best guess. I got it in the board game itself at a garage sale FOR A BUCK!

RE: Uncanny X-Men Collecting Thread

Slaymaster — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:39:43 GMT

I know what you're sayin' about the 'small fortune', Gaz... just spent a couple hundred on some UXMs, gonna put probably $150 into Doc Strange and The Defenders and an issue of New Mutants (need one for a run;)). Gonna keep tryin' to go after UXM and The Defenders, but need to figure out how my finances will be budgeted here in PR...:hmmmm:

Looks like Piker is also in the running for a complete UXM run/set, should be fun to see how we fare in the years to come!:cool:

Hey Guys

Here is my current list. Not sure if its completely accurate as I may have forgotten some books when just updating :hmmmm:. The 1 in red is a book I purchased on ebay the other day but I have not yet recieved. Probably not buying much for while as Money is tight and I have spend a small fortune. I get the feeling my wish to complete 94 to current, inc all annuals, and Giant sizes won't happen but at least I got my #1 and 58 (fav cover) as well as some other keys such as the Hulk 181 which I did not think I would get this decade let alone this year :D

Hi Guys,

I picked up a great copy of UXM 58, CGC 8.5 tonight as well as a excellent UXM 121, CGC 9.6, plus a UXM 117, 7.0 Raw :D

Very pleased with all these

RE: Uncanny X-Men Collecting Thread

gaz2810i — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:41:03 GMT

I would say it is a conservative 1.0 but may pass as a 1.5 depending on how generous you are. It is complete and pages are in great condition Cream to off white. The front cover however is hanging on by a thread and quite brittle but it will not be handled much. I paid $400 for it.

I'm Picking up a 58 today CGC 8.5 and the seller has a 121 CGC 9.6 he wants to sell. I really want this book but It is gonna be expensive so I have not decided yet :hmmmm:.

Well, I've gotten four of my eBay purchases, and my new 'hero' is Taylorjacomics... that dude (or dudette) is very good with his grading, and the prices are very good,too!:D With the additions of #'s 31, 75, and 83, thought I'd update my listing... (also got my upgrade of #121, figure it for a 6.5, but still beats the heck outta my 2.0 copy!;)) Once again, I will post scans once I've gotten them all in, so's I can do them all at once. Matter of fact, I'm gonna bust out that new printer/scanner/copier now...:D

My eBay buying the last few weeks has finally come to an end, with some issues I don't have in the collection yet: #s 31, 75, 83, and 88; and upgrades, #s 87, 98, 117, 121, and 127. (Also picked up Iron Fist #15... its got the X-Men, so it gets an honorable mention.;)) I'll post some scans after they've all shown up.

[quote][b]StarWarsEd (10/20/2009)[/b][hr]The comic shop had the normal cover priced at $12 and $10 based on condition, so they knew it was the variant to have it at $20, but wow, that's crazy cheap. Over at STL Comics they have an analysis of the 35 cent variants and it predicts that only between 100 and 150 copies of each X-men 35cent cover exists.[/quote]

The exact total numbers are unknown, but it is estimated that only about 1500 of each title were originally printed, and given that these would have been included in returns there would be a lot less around.

Your copy probably would go for more on eBay, as I picked up a mid-grade FF 187 for about $30 in auction, and there are less FF completionists out there. But I did get 3 other FF $.35s for under $20 because the sellers didn't know what they had -- and one of them is a 9.0-9.2 copy.

That's a steal. Was it listed as a variant, or was it 'hidden'?

Heh heh, I cheated and checked the database to see what you got, SWEd... that's a real nice price variant!:w00t::cool: Good way to end a UXM drought...;)

Been hot and heavy on the eBay buying since I threw in a couple hundred smackers to my PayPal account last week... more upgrades than ones that I don't have, but good scores I think. Just nabbed a couple a few minutes ago, one upgrade and one I didn't have (#88). Just picked up a new HP printer/scanner/copier today, wireless type, should come in handy since space is at a premium in my apartments rooms (will post pics in the thread that shows our personal comic emporiums:D ), will post scans of my buys when they get here.

Ahhhhhhhh... so nice to add to the collection, or simply to make it better.:Wow:

I hear ya, SWEd, I hear ya!:crazy: Just tried for a couple on ebay yesterday, 52/64/74, and someone outbid me! ... Granted, I screwed up and totally forgot about them while doing some household goods and grocery shopping, but still, would've been nice to get one or two!:angry:

But all is not lost, got a good buddy who I know will hook me up with some good deals in the next week or so. And another pal is going to help me try and get my New Mutants run complete and a better graded issue (73). So right now UXM buying will only be at half speed with Defenders vol. 1 getting the other half (33 issues for a complete run); NM and Doctor Strange vol. 2 will get the high priority buying since I'm really one issue away from completing that run and I need 7 more issues to complete Doc. :cool:
