rosiedoesI just went through my box of comics.
During the time I was actively collecting them, I bought all of Ultimate X-Men up to I think 68, except issue #1. I did buy #5 and #28, but for some reason they're not in there. I also have a compilation issue of #1-3.
I have a complete Gambit mini-series, including two copies of the first issue, in mint condition.
I have an X2 movie collection, and an Iceman collection and issue #1 of an Ultimate Fantastic 4 mini series. And #1 of the Gambit & Rogue annual, or something. Plus a bunch of Essential X-Men comics featuring Gambit.
They are all in mint condition, or very, very close to mint condition.
Even at face value those cost me between £1.60 and £2.00 each. (UXM #1-3 cost me just shy of £8 about three or four years ago.)
I doubt they've grown much in value, yet, but... damn, I spent a lot on those. I wonder if they'll be worth anything in a few years time?
But for anyone who ever doubted my interest in comics - I may not have collected them for decades like some people, and I may not have collected the 'coolest' comics, but I did stick at it for a fair while. Those things came out monthly, and I started buying UXM at about issue 19, if I remember rightly. I'd probably still be buying them if I hadn't stopped going to coffee...
I wonder what became of poor, gay Piotr...
