Description

Top certified copy. Mile High II pedigree!! The number of copies of X-Men #94 submitted to CGC exceeds 5600 and still a mere 29 copies have achieved this highest rating of 9.8. With this dark cover courtesy of Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum that readily displays all sorts of defects, surface impressions and stress lines, it is no wonder. It's a comic book for the most devout X-Men fans, though it's one even those only passingly familiar with the team's history will forever recognize. This copy is a no doubt about it NM/M with near-white pages and incredible cover gloss. Obviously unread and unopened (but meticulously cared for and loved). This copy was hand-picked by the consignor (Professor Pecora) due to its remarkable color strike, freshness and EXACT cover alignment (very rare for this issue). We boast the world record sale of a 9.8 example, $29,589 in our January, 2010 Grand Auction, as well as the second highest, $27,779 in our August, 2009, Grand Auction. This book looks incredible in the brand new CGC holder and you just can't appreciate this book enough without checking out the perfect corners, edges, spine and back cover. A true Newsstand MINT example of one of the top Bronze Age keys.
