Best Offer US $11,125.00 Seller: elph29( 342)
Up for auction is a PGA (now known as PGX) graded copy of X-Men #1 from 1963. This is the first appearance of the X-Men, Magneto and is a major piece of comic book history.
This book is UNRESTORED and has been graded a 9.0. That's right – 9.0 Unrestored. There are very few copies of X-Men 1 in this high grade and the price just keeps going up for the few high grade copies that do exist.
The PGA case is perfect with no flaws. The book itself has no writing on it or date stamps.
PGA Notes: "X-Men #1 VF/NM 9.0 Minor oxidation along edges of cover. Light tan to Off-White Pages. Marvel 9/63. Jack Kirby art. 1st appearance of Magneto. Origin/1st appearance of X-Men, Cyclops, Beast, Professor X, Angel, Marvel Girl, Iceman. Graded 11/04.
The minor oxidation is just that – minor – and does not detract from the beauty of the book at all. Please see the pictures below – the comic in the pictures is the comic you will receive. Sorry about the glare.
By the way, the CGC GPA average in grade is $11,750, albeit with 2+ year old results, so this is a reasonable result for a PGX book.
And here is that book:
