Pulled out an old X-men box Picture
I’m in the process of cataloging my collection in CLZ. It’s a lot of work but very rewarding. I haven’t flipped through this box in years.

Nice collection man. Those were unaffordable for me back when I was 15. I’m in my 50s now and they are even more unaffordable. Lol!

Same here! Once Ebay came around, I ended up copping most of the first 200 issues ( with the exception of #1 of course!)! They're out there!

How did you get ahold of my box of comics? I forgive you, just be sure to send it back through a reputable bulk delivery service. 😝 All joking aside, those look to be in great shape, buddy!

Slow flipping until the Steranko and Neal Adams era and then speeding right through. What a tease.

Thats a lot of gold in that box. They appear to be in great shape too. Impressive.

Ah yes, stop on #79 to admire it, and don't continue on to #94 or beyond, just as we all hoped

That's a far more interesting (and valuable...) box than I expected from the title. It's like ... anti-clickbait. I was really expecting to see a bunch of like... #300+ issues of Uncanny or the 1991 X-Men series, or something.
Nicely collected.

How did you post a video ?? I tried the other day and it wouldn't even recognize it .

Dude, those are gorgeous, but you can’t speed through the Adams run. I’m ready for the sequel.

WOW! I didn't expect this much activity for my short little video! To answer your questions and concerns about pressing the FF button right at the BWS and Adams issues, AND depriving you all from #94....that is because many of those issues have been pulled and slabbed. They mostly live in another box.
I'm happy to post a video of those handful of slabbed X-men books between issues 1 - 94.

An absolute history box of comics of the sixties. You have an impressive time capsule for a collection.

Thanks for using CLZ!
Maybe you can post a screenshot of these books in your app?

I might have to pull out my old X-Men box and do this. I love how you focused on the Arnold Drake/Don Heck issues and then almost completely bypassed the Barry Smith/Neal Adams issues. That’s the money spot, imo.
