Funnily enough, I know that Overstreet lists Longshot much higher than CPG does.

That's awesome Doug, There's not much Longshot Australian eBay.
CPG has them at $4 each, What does Overstreet have them at Doug?
I know there are a million & 1 copies of them out there but most i've seen over the years are in terrible shape.
I only have one NM set, Had an extra $30 bucks about a year & half ago. I asked a reg. seller what he had for that price...after some not so fun choices i gave up & just then he said Longshot...after a pause i said o.k. i'll take it.
Even he noted they getting harder to find in NM now.

Overstreet has #1 at $30 in NM and the rest at $15. So, big discrepancy. Not sure who's closer, but if someone wants to pay me $30 for #1, I am happy to take it. My big worry was that someone would go and buy #1 only and the rest of the series wouldn't sell. There are indeed a ton of almost everything X-Men out there, so I'm always a bit worried when I see such a price discrepancy. Seems like dealers want them if they don't have them, but don't want to get caught holding a ton of copies.

I'm guessing I lucked out in finding 2 complete sets of the mini-series in recent collection buys, if your experience is anything to go by.

I assume for X-men 160, you mean first 'teen' Illyana, since she appears in GS X-men #1.
