I was going through eBay looking at comics I have in less than NM condition and thought which issues would I want in NM condition and my 3 would be X-men 126-128. My all time favorite X-men storyline. What is everyone else’s 3 issues you’d love to upgrade to NM?

Probably three of my all time favorite covers, so they present well for display as wall art. Spirt #22 (Quality)  the source of my interest in red dress covers Punch Comics #12  just an all time great cover design (I've read the facsimile edition though and the stories are a bit of a slog) Eerie #23  One of my favorite Frazetta covers and touches on my love of the ancient Egyptian art aesthetic. -M |

As long as the colours aren't faded or the covers or pages torn or badly creased, I think I might prefer a copy that I've read a few times and that looks like it rather than one that looks too perfect, as if it's been kept under glass in a museum or something.

I'd rather like Daredevil 168 in NM, but haven't pulled the trigger for cost reasons. I'm equally happy with VFN on Bronze Age books, and Fine on Silver Age. Readable pages that haven't been badly squashed together is more important to me than overall high grades.

Not sure how I'd explain that expenditure to my significant other, though 👀😅 |

I geek out over finding any Golden Age book in NM for a low price. It's just such a rarity. Normally, I don't give condition all that much consideration, but prestine 1930s and 1940s stuff just looks and feels different: the paper, the ink, the colors. Just a beautiful thing.
