X - MEN 1 (1ST APPEARANCE & MAGNETO) 1963: HUGE MEGA MARVEL KEY ISSUE FR/GD 1. 5
Item History & Price
VERY BRIGHT COLORED AND WELL PRESERVED LOWER GRADE EXAMPLE OF X-MEN #1 (ORIGIN AND FIRST APPEARANCE OF X-MEN AND MAGNETO) STAN LEE STORY, JACK KIRBY ART. MEGA KEY SILVER AGE MARVEL ISSUE THAT WILL ONLY APPRECIATE IN VALUE.
Kept it in dry storage for years.
This is an ORIGINAL, and NOT a reprint obviously. NO RESTORATION WORK THAT I COULD SEE. Published in 1963 by Marvel Comics
I would call it a FR/GD 1.5 in my opinion as it presents itself very well for a reader copy.
Very ...bright colors, corners are worn with small piece out of top left corner as shown. Edges have some typical Marvel chipping as you'd expect but not falling apart by any means. NO large folds or heavy creasing anywhere on cover (some minor folds and bends which may go away if you press it, which I haven't), it shows BEAUTIFULLY. Spine has normal wear for a book in this shape. Back cover is bright with hardly any chipping, NO marks. Spine has a hint of rollover as shown (bottom staple detached) and minor general wear. Inside has CREAM to OFF WHITE pages, all nice and very legible. Some pages on the inside are torn as you can see in pics (NO glue or tape that I was able to see) Lays fairly flat. Very presentable X-Men 1 with a beautiful cover!
I've seen similar examples sell in the $2500-3500 range in the past with completely chewed up examples selling in the 1500-2000 range, so i'm pricing this one very fairly for a book that you would think looks beautifully presentable and in one piece with good colors!
These make a great holiday gift to a fan or loved one. Priced very fairly for a rare piece, key piece of Silver age history only to appreciate in value as Marvel and DC Studios keeps pushing out movies.
Please make sure you look at pictures and ask questions. Items sold AS IS. No returns/refunds. I don't want to hear it.FEEL FREE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER SPORTS MEMORABILIA, COLLECTIBLES, COMICS ETC ON EBAY.Thank you all.
