I like your list. I also like the inclusion of the Mary Jane Venom, as that is a very rare book. I often times look for "rare" books to be on the look out for, and this is one of them as I complete my ASM run 1-800.

Seriously!

I'm not even close to any complete Marvel/DC Silver Age runs -- let alone taken it up to present day.

I've flirted with Daredevil a few times (common, relatively cheap) but never had more than 20 or so of the first 50 issues at once.

Now I have exactly one -- a CGC 6.5 copy of Daredevil # 1, Stan Lee sig

I have X-Men #1-350 at least. Maybe more. I'm not a high grade collector, but I have two #1's and I considered collecting 2 sets of the 1st 100 up until I gave away a #2 to a friend as a favor. I'm working on a complete set up Tales To Astonish, but I'm still only about 3/4ths of the way. Local shows just haven't had VG or better of the ones I need.

When I was unemployed circa 1991, I pulled all of my comics out and read X-Men #1-192 straight through. I was most amused by an issue in the 40's... maybe 46. Scott became a DJ and Jean became a model. It was just completely out in left field.

I've never read the original X-Men.

While I once owned a copy of X-Men 1, I don't care about 1-93.

My first ever comic was X-Men comic Classic X-Men 35 back in 1989, which reprinted # 129 and began the Dark Phoenix saga.

First off the shelf was # 251, which was mad confusing since it was post-Fall of the Mutants when they were all still "dead."

I read monthly from 251-310, and eventually extended my collection backwards to # 104.

Never actually completed GS # 1/94-and up because I never got GS # 1 or 96-103.

For me, the X-Men basically start at GS # 1 (and later, X-Factor).

Ditto -- New Mutants for me start with Liefeld at # 86 -- I've read some earlier issues in the teens & 20s but never liked/cared for them.

I've thought about going back and collecting 94-143 in CGC 9.4 or better, but that's a long slog given that the books are ~$100 apiece.

I remember buying GS X-Men #1 & X-Men #94 off of a spinner rack at a drug store. I remember pulling it them off the rack and wondering what the hell they were. Who were these new characters! Why did #94 not feature the promised X-Men vs. Avengers! Why did they introduce Thunderbird and kill him! Why don't they feature Sunfire more! Laughing

In case you've been living under a rock the last month or so a major Venom key not on that list is Venom: Lethal Protector # 4.

Why?

First appearance of the two major confirmed villains for the film

- Riot (the rumored big bad symbiote) and
- Scream (the female symbiote, who appears to initially infect Eddie Brock).

Conventional wisdom is Woody Harrelson is indeed playing Carnage but -- at best -- we'll get just a post-credits Cletus Kasady cameo -- setting up a more substantial Woody Harrelson / Carnage conflict in the sequel.

No word yet on whether the other symbiotes from the Lethal Protector series will appear (I believe there were five of them (?))

Also, Just today, I saw a huge spike in Carnage:Mind Bomb. Its going for over $150 raw on ebay.

This all seems like foolish speculation. I'm just going to focus on long time true keys. I'm too old for this crap anymore. lol. Laughing

I don't think anyone will care about Venom after his movie bombs.
