Set Description
I bought my first X-men #1 from a drugstore on the Square as a young boy. I started reading Marvels after FF and Spidey hit the newsstands, but was already hooked when Stan the Man created Avengers and X-Men and have #1s of both, which are now just readers with my name stamp LOL.
First Class is actually one of my favorite Marvel movies, although those four go downhill from there. I thought they were set up to do a great evil mutant movie at the conclusion of that one, but never followed through, which was very disappointing. The first trilogy generally sucked.
This set is far from our best, hence the name Second Class, playing off the movie. At one time we did have a complete set, but sold off many lower graded copies to raise cash. While we are proactively trying to replace those books, since there are enough books out there, we generally let them go if the price is not right. We do have 41 9.8s, which includes one single highest graded book, #42. But we also have a lot of 9.4s in the early issues and still needs a nice #1. We target upgrades to this collection when the opportunity arises, but we are certainly no threat to the two top registry sets, as we have no plan to commit that much to achieve the best set. Still, we like the books and our goal is to put together a 9.6/9.8 run, absent #1, although it will undoubtedly take many years.
