Subject: *** early new X-Men for sale below Overstreet!  ***
Organization: Chemical Abstracts Service
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1992 13:15:19 GMT

The following 25 X-Men comics are for sale.  I'll take the 
best offer over $225 ($US) (30% off of Overstreet!) that I get this 
week, or the first offer of 90% Overstreet or over.  I'll pay 
shipping within the US.

Overstreet's value for these comics is $321, and
CVM's value is an eye-popping $482!!

It's interesting that the CVM values for this batch of 
X-Men is fully 150% of the Overstreet values. I can't think of
any other title with issues valued over $10 each that has this
large of a discrepancy over so many issues.  You can easily find
discrepancies between various individual issues of some titles, but
such a large difference over a good run of the title is hard to fathom.
I would think it increasingly likely that the Overstreet values
are due to be adjusted upwards soon.  Also note that
X-Men #141 (the first appearance of Rachel/Phoenix II) has been 
moving up in value regularly lately in both OPG and CVM.

Except for issue #112 (Fine), all of these issues are NM/M copies
with just a few you might call VF+.  These issues contain lots 
of good stuff such as the origin of Storm, and the first 
appearances of the Imperial Guard, Zaladane, Amahl Farouk (Shadow King), 
Proteus, Shadow Cat, White Queen, Dazzler, the Future X-Men, and 
Rachel (Phoenix II).

Tell me about it! I can't see how people use CVM instead of Overstreet.
EVery 2 months is enough to cause use to lose a day or so every time it
comes out. If I used CVM I'd either be in the funnyfarm or have even
less of a social life.

Te comic program I use is sold in the back of Overstreet and is
available in Montreal (what's left of it after GnR were finished with
it). I haven't plugged all of my comic in yet, but it is still a useful,
if a bit over the top program.

ABOVE MODIFICATIONS???  The pages may be near-mint quality, but the book has
been reduced to POOR condition.  It's probably worth nothing more than $25-$50.

Just out of curiousity where did you get your information about these

made, but where did you find out about the print runs on the other cards?

To everyone who responded to my previous posts regardings comics I was
looking for, thank you. Not only have you helped me cover yp some gaps
in my collection, but you have cost me a lot of money. Thanks...I think.

Anyway, it should come as no real surprise that I didn't get all the
Valiants that I would like to have. I am willing to pay a respectable
amount for them, but I'm not going to grovel, beg, etc for them. I would
like to have them, but I'm not putting myself in bankruptsy court for
them.

However, I am willing to trade for them. Hence if you would like a free
copy of Unity #0 I would be willing to accept a free copy of any (or
all...wishful thinking I know) of the following issues.

X-O Manowar #2
Magnus #0, #6
Harbringer #4, #5

Now technically this is called trading, but I like to refer to it as
doing each other a mutual favor. Email me if you are interested.

A couple of side notes as well.
1. I'm not interested in money for the Unity #0 unless you are willing
to pay rediculous amounts. I would like the issues above and nothing
else.
2. Needless to say, if the Harbringers and Magnus are without coupons or
the cards you have put yourself behind one large eightball when it comes
to negotation position.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

I believe Overstreet is the guide of choice on r.a.c.m, and it certianly is
my guide of choice.  If you want to charge above Overstreet, that's between
the buyer and seller, but here we accept the authority (in setting "value,"
not price) of Overstreet ("The Guide"), not Wizard, CVM, or CBG.  From what
I've read here, I believe others will agree.

Also, this is a very nice set, and I'd love to bid on the individual books, but
I think that as a collection it will be hard to sell.  Not many folks
(including me) would either have $1000, or if they did, they wouldn't spend it
on 18 books when they could buy one NM copy of FF #4, say.  If you're
interested in breaking up the set, let me know.

space, etc.

All of the collection is bagged, backed, and boxed (with some exceptions like 
Tick, etc. that won't fit standard comic bags).  I have concentrated mostly on 
Dark Horse, Marvel, and DC, with a few NEC and other independents on the side.
The bulk of the collection is in NM, but a few exceptions include some of the 
original Star Trek comics, Carl Barks Donald Duck books, and other Golden and 
Silver Age books which are more like Very Good to Good.

Since there are so many, I will not post specific books and conditions, but I 
am willing to sell mostof the books at 50-65% of the 22nd edition to 
Overstreet.  So, good prices that are already out of date.  Send me a want list
and I will get back to you in several days with a list of what I have off your 
list and what I am willing to sell the book for...Thanks

I've heard that the comic shops on the East Coast served by 
Heroes World Distribution will be receiving a special Captain America
promo card for the upcoming Marvel Masterpiece card series from
Skybox.

If anyone has these cards and is willing to sell or trade them please
contact me.

Thanks,
Phil
