Hi
Sometimes, boredom leads to great new work!
I am offered 1980s-90s collections at least 20 times per day.
As you can imagine, it's hard to get excited about picking through the same issues time after time.
So I began digging through the issues of this era, and I made some exciting discoveries!
Read on for more below.

Uncanny X-Men #191: 1st Nimrod

1st Cable as Baby Nathan
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 50%
Last sale in CGC 9.8 was $73, well below the 90-day average of $96.

Chance of finding at a yard sale: 50%
A mercenary and assassin with adamantium bonding similar to that used on Wolverine.

Uncanny X-Men #210:
1st Appearance of Marauders (Cameo)
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 60%

Uncanny X-Men #212:
Wolverine vs Sabertooth Battle Part 1
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 40%
The first installment of a big battle between Wolverine and Sabertooth.
Super-hot book, and one that you can buy in virtually any shape at a yard sale and flip it on eBay for a profit.
Last sale in CGC 9.8: $320! (Versus 12-month average of $119.)
Uncanny X-Men #213:
Wolverine vs Sabertooth Battle Part 2
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 50%
The second half of this epic battle. It's very popular with Wolverine fans.
Last sale in CGC 9.8: $103.
Uncanny X-Men #244:
1st Appearance of Jubilee
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 80%
This book looks like nothing, and you will often find it in long boxes at yard or estate sales, or lumped into lots on Craigslist.
Jubilee is to Wolverine what Robin is to Batman. Only her costume is a bit cooler.
Last sale in CGC 9.8: $140.
Uncanny X-Men #248:
1st Jim Lee Art on X-Men
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 80%
Another late 80s X-Men book which doesn't look remarkable, and will be an easy snaffle at yard sales.
Jim Lee is considered one of the greatest modern era artists to work on the X-Men titles.
Last sale in CGC 9.8: $150.
Uncanny X-Men #251:
Siege Perilous is Destroyed
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 60%
The cool X-crucifixion cover reminds me of the Logan movie, and this striking image means it is more likely to be gone by the time you rifle through a long box.
Siege Perilous is a portal which allows mutants to travel to an alternate dimension and live out a different life.
Last sale in CGC 9.8: $115.
Uncanny X-Men #256:
1st Appearance of New Psylocke
|
Chance of finding at a yard sale: 60%
Psylocke is such hot property that even British first appearances (Captain Britain
#8) are popular in the United States.
The very name on the cover means it's more likely to have been cherry picked from 90s runs when you get there.
Another book important to the Psylocke character is New Mutants Annual #2,
which is the first US appearance.
Last sale in CGC 9.8: $165.
