IMPORTANT nbsp SILVER-AGE X-MEN COMIC First Appearance of Grotesk, the Sub-Human, and the Origin of Cyclops. HISTORY MAKING OFFERING HERE COMIC-FANS, AS THIS IS nbsp THE FIRST TIME A CGC-GRADED COPY OF THIS BOOK HAS BEEN LISTED ON EBAY IN A CONDITION ABOVE NEAR MINT. nbsp MOST OF THE TIME, THE BEST COPY AVAILABLE ON EBAY IS A MERE . , OR VF .0 AT BEST nbsp THIS ISSUE IS nbsp ONE OF THE VERY RAREST ISSUES OF THE SERIES IN THE NM RANGE WITH ONLY A HALF-DOZEN OTHER COPIES GRADED AT THIS LOFTY PLATEAU nbsp PERHAPS DUE TO THE UNUSUAL MONOCHROMATIC BLOOD RED COVER, THIS ISSUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRONE TO OBVIOUS BLEMISHES, SO IT S BEEN A COUPLE YEARS SINCE EVEN A MERE NM . SURFACED IN THE MARKETPLACE. nbsp nbsp THIS IS ONE OF JUST A FEW ISSUES IN THE ENTIRE nbsp INFLUENTIAL RUN THAT HAS NO CATEGORY FOR . DATA ON THE GPA SITE, INDICATING ZERO DOCUMENTED SALES nbsp AT NM/MINT, WHICH IS INCREDIBLE AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS OF SUBMISSIONS. nbsp AND WITH ONLY A SINGLE PRIOR SIGHTING OF A CGC . BESIDES THE SUSCHA NEWS COPY THAT SOLD OFF-EBAY IN 0 AND HASN T RESURFACED, DON T TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AT A BONAFIDE . nbsp LIGHTLY, AS IT COULD BE DECADES BEFORE A COMPARABLE EXAMPLE SURFACES. nbsp nbsp THIS IS THE BEST-OF-THE-BEST FOR US MERE MORTALS, AND IT S NOT ONLY PRETTIER BUT IT ALSO BOASTS BETTER PAGE QUALITY THAN THAT LONE NON-PEDIGREE . THAT SURFACED IN THE PAST WHICH WAS NOT SOLD ON EBAY, IT WENT THROUGH A TOP AUCTION HOUSE AND ONLY SURFACED ONCE AND WASN T SEEN AGAIN. nbsp nbsp VISUALLY, THIS GEM IS SUITABLE FOR EVEN THE MOST PICKY FAN. nbsp THIS ISSUE BOASTS A GREAT nbsp COVER BY TUSKA WHICH IS A TREAT TO BEHOLD IN THIS SUPERLATIVE STATE. THIS COMIC HAS ALL THE HALLMARKS OF KEEPER, WITH THE PHENOMENAL GLOSS AND BLINDING-BRIGHT COLORS nbsp PLUS NOTE THE SUPERB CENTERING AND ALIGNMENT, AND nbsp THE nbsp FACT THAT THE COVER IS NOT DINGY IN THE nbsp CENTER nbsp OF THE BACK COVER nbsp LIKE SOME HIGH-GRADE EXAMPLES. nbsp nbsp EXPECT TO BE THRILLED WITH THIS NEAR-IRREPLACEABLE SPECIMEN, MUCH LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER EXCEPTIONAL EARLY X-MEN COMICS WE nbsp ARE nbsp NOW OFFERING nbsp I ve always wanted my high-grade nbsp X-Men comics to have great cut and alignment, things that the certification companies scarcely consider when grading. nbsp So if you too are extra picky, and want copies that are not only well preserved and of exceptional structural quality, but also boast a deep color strike with nbsp accurate registration and sharp corners, and somehow they didn t pick up any nbsp ugly ink overspray or other nbsp significant visual flaws during the distribution process either, then you crave books of this caliber and you already know how seldom these opportunities arise. nbsp nbsp This minty example is certainly the finest X-Men we ve ever brought to market. IF YOU ARE A LONG-TERM COLLECTOR OF HIGH GRADE VINTAGE X-MEN COMICS THEN YOU KNOW THAT nbsp ISSUES NUMBER AND HAVE nbsp ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY TOUGH BOOKS TO FIND IN VERY HIGH GRADE SHAPE, AND WITH THE ADVENT OF COMICS GUARANTY COMPANY THIS PHENOMENON CAN BE CONFIRMED WITH THE POPULATION REPORT. This nbsp book is well known to fans and dealers alike, nbsp as an original-team nbsp issue nbsp featuring the nbsp teenage mutants, with the introduction and origin of Grotesk Sub-Human, to nbsp some nbsp and it includes the origin of team-leader Cyclops, so nbsp this a must-have book for any fan of the ever-popular nbsp mutants. nbsp This one is a treat to behold when nbsp it s unblemished by such pesky detractors as noteworthy creases or spine-stresses. nbsp The nbsp Uncanny X-Men are already a household name around the globe, thanks nbsp in part to the smash-hit films and record-setting DVD nbsp sales and all the toys and videogames and statues and animation and action-figures and clothing and nbsp plethora of other licensed merchandise. nbsp There was yet another wildly popular big-budget mutant film out recently, with the DVD bringing in new fans around the world as we speak, and mutants are slated for more nbsp upcoming films... nbsp It doesn t get any more Blue Chip than this nbsp nbsp nbsp This nbsp incredible nbsp original first-print nbsp comic-book nbsp WILL find a new home, as the asking price is nbsp LOW and there is NO RESERVE nbsp ALWAYS SCARCE, nbsp NEAR MINT OR BETTER SPECIMENS OF THIS ORIGINAL TEAM nbsp ISSUE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOUGHT OUT, YET COPIES ABOVE . ARE RARELY SIGHTED, AND THEY SEEM EXTINCT, ABOVE NM . This nbsp historic comic is nbsp a real find in unrestored nbsp NM or better shape, as many copies had minute production flaws nbsp such as printing creases or nbsp Marvel Chipping, while others were read and re-read, time and time again, and with the glossy nbsp dark nbsp cover even the tiniest flaws seem magnified. nbsp However, this copy is spectacular, as it s super-clean and there is no nbsp noteworthy wear or aging, and it has precise printing registration. nbsp And the gloss is nbsp excellent, too nbsp nbsp This crushes most of the so-called Mint old comics I purchased over the decades back in the pre-CGC era. nbsp Good luck finding this level of eye appeal again in the future, as this beauty boasts deep nbsp rich nbsp uniform colors nbsp and a flat clean appearance, devoid of obvious problems, and the unusually clean bright logo just adds to the allure. nbsp Our scanner makes it appear that there s lighter areas and hazy patches nbsp But there are no such nbsp cloudy regions nbsp and no chips or scratches on the CGC holder, either. nbsp We are nbsp now offering nbsp many superb nbsp CGC X-MEN nbsp comics as well as many high-grade unslabbed vintage Marvel comics available via reasonable Fixed Prices, plus rare nbsp comic art And we ll be offering hundreds of other collectable comics in the next nbsp few months. nbsp Check out our ebay items regularly nbsp A lot has happened with Marvel comics in the almost-half-century since this nbsp came out, adding more allure to the nbsp fabled vintage nbsp issues such as this nbsp so I don t suggest waiting around until these crucial books have gone through the roof.... nbsp High-grade specimens of this nbsp less-common number are always in demand, but nbsp are virtually unseen in the market, in nbsp such stellar condition with superior structure nbsp like this nbsp nbsp This is an investment nbsp that you can show and display proudly, without worrying about damage or degradation of the supple nbsp clean bone-white paper, thanks to the benefit of professional Comic Guaranty Corporation encapsulation. nbsp With demand that far exceeds supply, premium prices nbsp are likely to nbsp occur when a certified NM beauty such as this finally nbsp surfaces on ebay for the global nbsp market. Great cover colors And the gloss is phenomenal, which nbsp must be seen in person to be appreciated. nbsp If you are a discriminating nbsp Marvel collector, serious CGC-graded nbsp comics investor, or just a devout nbsp X-Men comic collector, and prefer unrestored books without nbsp significant flaws, then NOW is your brief window of opportunity. nbsp It looks less appealing nbsp in the disappointing picture, with lots of glare and darkness from our scanner, nbsp but in person the book looks spectacular and the super bright colors really leap out at you nbsp nbsp nbsp The conservative Overall CGC Universal Grade is nbsp an incredible Near Mint PLUS --it looks nbsp new from outside the nbsp clear plastic CGC case This extra bright clean copy sports the Blue Unrestored CGC Label nbsp --And the CGC case has no scuffs or cracks or nbsp scratches nbsp in the crystal-clear case. nbsp nbsp PEDIGREE QUALITY SPECIMEN
