Very cute MJ in the suit cover. Hey, grody comics need homes too, yeah? Dazzler/Rogue/Longshot and Psylocke, if I recall. The New Team cover was when they split the X-Men to the Gold and Blue teams. Had to be done, so many merry mutants. Ha ha I THINK that Gambit cover was when they finally dove into a bit of the past he had with Sabretooth. Years before, the baddie made a comment suggesting he knew Gambit and I remember waiting forever to finally learn more.

Okay, this is awesome! Collecting Marvel, specifically X-Men cards, is exactly how I got into the comics, so having a collection like this, versus tracking down the cards themselves (per your point of their pricing these days) is a sweet idea and makes for a great collection and coffee table piece.

Spidey dodgeball, ha ha ha That cutesy Spider-Punk cover is pretty great. Some nice classic finds there with Spidey books, nice to see. Love seeing when trading cards are still packed in; even better that a book has never been opened. Dude, that Storm in the rain cover is classic; so, so epic and gorgeous. There really is something neat about the Scarlet Spider-Man outfit; Lady Laci has picked up a few books and even some toys just because of it.

Excellent time to be picking up some Aliens goodness--nice price too. Wooo, Age of Apocalypse! I really enjoyed that storyline back in the day; such an X-Men fan and it was so different for its time. Lady Laci loved the Spider-Verse event; dunno if she scored all the tales but there were loads of characters she enjoyed from it. So many great holo-foil covers here, YES! Oooh, and the cut-out with FF; love the quirky fun stuff comics did back in the day. Those card bit covers, I remember those; used to make me want them AS actual cards. That X-Men cover with Jean facing off against Sabretooth is epic; the sense of power in it is so well done.

There really are two kinds of collectors: those that want the cleanest, most pristine version of something. And then the second kind are the “out of box” collectors, that don’t care about the condition, it’s just another tick on the list. Neither are right. But I will tell you this: the industry is not right. The whole CGC model needs to change. I am one of those pristine collectors. But I choose never to send any books. Why? Because it requires me shipping them off and parting with them. It’s very un-Collector like.

Ha ha, nah, not crazy, I liked this rant. I'm in the same boat; I don't care how people want to collect and I won't shame them for it, but I never understood the point of getting things graded and slabbed. That said, I don't care about value of things and it's sad that the greed has infected so many collection venues from games and comics to toys and on. People only want money and they only want some arbitrary person/business/company to "assure" them that what they have is valuable which, in turn for them, means THEY are valuable. It's sad to me and it ruins the hobby for collectors who want to enjoy it as it is--a hobby and not an investment. That being said, I consistently tell Lady Laci when I gone to sell my junk as fast as she can and use that money to live it up on the beach with some cabana boys because I'm dead, I'm gone, and that "value" stretches as far as the headache of her having to sell it all off.
