Randell’s Nerdy Things here…

This isn’t about chasing slabs for clout.
It’s about preservation.
It’s about protecting history.
It’s about honoring the journey these books have been on for decades.
Some of these have survived multiple owners, moves, long boxes, dollar bins, convention floors, and who knows what else. And now they’re part of my collection. That matters to me.
These issues represent:
✔️ The Silver → Bronze Age transition
✔️ The rise of the Claremont/Cockrum/Byrne era
✔️ The foundation of modern X-Men
✔️ Some of the most important storytelling Marvel ever produced
Grading doesn’t make a book “better.”
It just helps make sure it’s still here for the next generation of collectors.
And honestly? I’m proud of this stack. Every single one was hunted, saved for, traded for, or waited patiently for.
No shortcuts. No hype flips. Just real collecting.
Support your local artist, support your local comic book shop (LCS) and keep collecting.
