| So I have a lead on Silver Age X-Men #1-16 bound in a single volume. I don't have pics yet, but what are your thoughts overall? Does the binding destroy the monetary value? I think it would be a cool collectible, but I don't want to over pay. Thanks! | ||

| It's cool, it's collectible, but it's worth a fraction of unbound comics. Do some research on bound volumes that sold in eBay and Heritage to get some idea of how much of a discount from the usual value of the books. |

| It would be cool if you could trace one back as a Marvel reference volume. | ||

| @Darkga - Just want to make sure that you are aware that comics that are bound together are trimmed on all sides. To me, that is probably the biggest drawback. | ||

| A cool unique collectible from an earlier era. I always find that interesting regardless of the damage the books took getting there. Resell though? Maybe tough | ||
