Great lot of books. For me, the best run of the X-men was from issue 94 (including Giant-size #1) through the Dark Phoenix Saga (#138). I am missing a few in this run (including Giant-size #1), but I am working to get them.
All great books, I am glad to have multiple high grade copies of all 5 (or 6)...2 copies of #100, 3 copies of #109, 3 copies of #121 (2 copies of #120), 4 copies of #129, and 4 copies of #130.
I don’t think you ripped that guy off. It depends entirely on the grade. Bronze books at less than VF aren’t worth much. There are a zillion of them out there.
That was good how you got down to business explaining at the beginning of the video to the haters out there. LOL. We've yet to see a comment that says, "That guy ripped you off." LOL. Thanks for sharing those amazing covers. I hope you get that Giant Sized Xmen #1 from him some day. Keep us posted.
Nice books. 129 is the book that surprised me when I looked at the values of that era of X-Men after being out of collecting for 40 years. Never would have thought it would be more valuable than issues 130 or even the 137 death issue. Back then, that death issue was the one collectors spec'd on probably because of the value of ASM 121 and 122 at that time.
Thank you for the shout out 🙏 definitely a good deal and it certainly opens up the door for more deals down the line. All of these X-Men keys will go up in value for sure. We are on the lookout for 129 and the 1st Dazzler 👊
Great books! Raw Claremont X-Men books seem to be an exception to the market downturn. I got the full run last year during the bubble for much less than today's FMV, and was buying primarily from stores. I don't say that to brag (ok, maybe a little) but to say that I believe there is always demand here and prices will always slowly go up when there is no news, and who knows how hot they'll get when there is news. I think these are timeless keys.
I appreciate it. In all honesty I think I overpaid for this lot. I wanted to pay up for it in hopes it would leave the relationship open to purchase more. However, it dried up very quickly.
Yeah, I had that feeling when you were going through em. I thinking did the guy (other) get cold feet?? Idk. I think mine were VG or better but still, those books are nice.
I'm currently working on my run of X-Men 94-300 and I'm at the point where I'm mostly done everything from 129 and above. But from 94-128 is going to be tough to finish off. Soooo many great (and pricey) key books in there. But undoubtedly one of the great all-time runs. Aside from the early silver age blue chips from ASM and FF, I don't think there's a better run of comics than X-Men #94 through the Days of Future Past arc in #142. Considering the ~50 issues between 94-142, half of them are probably what we'd call "foundational" books. What a crazy run of successes Claremont had! Thanks for the great video!
Wolverine gets "smoked" again on the cover of Alpha Flight #17 (X-Men #109 double-take) and is a stark contrast to his standing on the cover of X-Men #133.
Great books and I happen to need every one for my new xmen collection 😀. I'm putting it together slowly and all raw books in mid to higher but don't have to be the best. They are for me to keep when I get them
Hi Alex, great looking x men comics,great deal, no rip offs here, fair deal, I would've done the same with the offer. Yes, dazzler is a very nice cover. You did very well my friend
Great books. I always loved that Dazzler cover!

Love it! I agree. This started with me wanting to collect the Phoenix saga stuff. And I’ve fallen in love with that run again.
That 100 is a cool book and it looks way higher grade than a 5 to 5.5 from what I can see.
All's fair in war and comics!
I don't believe in love! 😔
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great books dude! 😁👍
Excellent books! Claremont/Byrne Bronze-Age X-men are my absolute favorite books to collect! Can’t wait to see the rest of the collection!
They are certainly incredible. Love that particular run as well. Thanks for the comment bro.
Same! that’s why I love both you’re guys’ channels
X-men #100 is the very first comic book I ever got. My Dad came home from the store and got it for me.
All great books, I am glad to have multiple high grade copies of all 5 (or 6)...2 copies of #100, 3 copies of #109, 3 copies of #121 (2 copies of #120), 4 copies of #129, and 4 copies of #130.
129 also has Sebastian shaw first appearance

Yeah. I assumed I would see some “that guy actually ripped you off” comments.
I’m going to build my funds and offer him a nice Chunk for that GSX1

Those comichaulics guys sound pretty cool
They are pretty awesome to be honest. Some of my best friends from the community.

I feel like these prices are very conservative. Especially on the 129 in a 9.0
Man, I have had all of those at once. 😭
Awesome books brotha! I'm glad I completed my GS1, Xmen 94-142 years ago because they are about to go through the roof! #Humblebrag
You have multiple 101s too right??
Why do you think they will go through the roof?
Hello. I believe you when you say' I didn't rip em off. '💯😎 ya always get one who will comment that way negatively.
I appreciate it. In all honesty I think I overpaid for this lot. I wanted to pay up for it in hopes it would leave the relationship open to purchase more. However, it dried up very quickly.

Dazzler, Alpha Flight, All great stuff that I am addicted to buying multiple copies haha
Absolutely awesome pick-ups and good on you for paying a little more than you wanted to build that relationship for future deals. Awesome video Alex!

Thanks for the great video!
The difference between a 9.8 and a 9.6 in those X-men books is HUGE. I have a X-men cgc 9.6 #121 and cgc 9.8 #120 bought both raw for $100 each
Wolverine gets "smoked" again on the cover of Alpha Flight #17 (X-Men #109 double-take) and is a stark contrast to his standing on the cover of X-Men #133.
I seem to remember comic Tom saying that 129 was worth like, was it thousands(?) last year?
If anyone says “you ripped that guy off”, I bet they’d do the same thing. EVERYONE is looking for a deal.
I will NEVER miss an X-Men video
Yo!!!! I love to hear it.
I’m surprised that the value of those x men is so low. I would have thought they’d be higher by now.
Great books, and sounds like you made a great contact for possibly more books down the line!
Nice Pick ups... still looking good. You don't age
Great looking books! I have to add all of them to my collection some day.
I got Strange Tales #158! I'd say it's maybe a 7 or so. I'm not a pro collector or anything so this is my biggest comic so far lol
Very educational!!! Thank you!
Have 121 and 129. Would love to own the other three, doubt that will ever happen at this point in time. 😐
buy xmen now!
Hi those books look great, what bags and boards are you using?
Awesome job making nice deals 🎉
Like this foundation books run of videos
great x men keys alex ,awsome video
Nice pick up. Sounds far to me. 👍
What bags and boards do you use?
How much for the 130?
Sweet lot, Congrats👍
Those are some great X-men books! I love that your videos are showcasing books from a wide range of price points.
I really try to cater to lots of collectors. Show people you can pick up amazing books for $15-30, $100-$200 and $1000 plus. Thanks for noticing.
Cool comics
Great books and I happen to need every one for my new xmen collection 😀. I'm putting it together slowly and all raw books in mid to higher but don't have to be the best. They are for me to keep when I get them
Such an awesome run to collect. My favorite is 1-66
Great haul
Fantastic haul sir. Iconic books. I agree that 129 and 130 are top tier x books
I should have known you’d enjoy this one! You are the Claremont guru
@@AlextheComicHoarder I don’t always comment but I’m always lurking. Just couldn’t resist this one.
Hi Alex, great looking x men comics,great deal, no rip offs here, fair deal, I would've done the same with the offer. Yes, dazzler is a very nice cover. You did very well my friend
Nice! Plus you did it the right way educating the seller on what he had at todays FMV at the raw grade he had before talking price!🎉
