I see New Mutants #14 went up in the guide but I also noticed it said that was the first appearance of Illyana. According to Marvel her first appearance as Illyana is GS X-MEN #1. Her first appearance as Magik is in the Magik limited series. Illyana also showed up in UXM #145 & 146 and that is the first time she is named.

New Mutants 14 did go up because people are paying more for that issue. There seems to be some confusion about Illyana. As you mention, her first appearance is in GS X-men #1 but her first costumed appearance as Magik is more uncertain. People aren't sure if the Magik limited series or New Mutants 14 came out first. So I think they are buying both to hedge their bets.

To add to this, it's Uncanny X-Men 160 that she goes into the hell dimension and comes out older.

The LS came out a full year before NM #14. NM #14 is kinda like an epilogue to the LS, where UXM #160 is kinda like a prologue. I wasn't disputing the value. I'd be happy with all the books being $40 issues.
