For your kind consideration is this CGC 8.5/VF+ (very fine plus) copy of Uncanny X-Men #168 with white pages from 1983. This copy is a HTF Mark Jewelers Variant as well as a newsstand edition, as are all Mark Jewelers. This issue features the first appearance of Madelyne Pryor who goes on to become the Goblin Queen at the side of Mister Sinister as seen in a recent episode of the Disney+ series, X-Men '97. It also features an underrated Kitty Pryde cover by Paul Smith.

Please take advantage of the fact that I will entertain all serious offers for this book by making me one. I am of the firm belief that negotiating (or haggling if you prefer) over the price of comic books is a time-honored tradition that makes the transactional experience more enjoyable for buyer and seller alike. That's just my elderly way of saying, "I like to haggle."

In light of the recent re-holder scam, among others, at CGC, here's the history of how this book came to me and came to be slabbed. I purchased it, raw, from a seller on eBay on November 3, 2023. I then cleaned and pressed the book myself and it was slabbed on April 9, 2024 as revealed by looking up its certification # (4410395008) on either CGC's or GoCollect's website. You can also access the grader's notes on either site. The book/slab has been in my possession since its purchase date. I understand that I am asking you to trust me when trust is in short supply within the comic collecting community right now. All I can do is refer you to my feedback and offer to answer any questions you might have.

FYI, I include a raw mystery book with every slab I sell, usually from the same title...just something to consider.

Your newly acquired 8.5/VF+ copy of Uncanny X-Men 168 will be shipped to you no later than the day after receiving payment (unless, of course, that day is a Sunday), double-boxed, and surrounded by enough bubble wrap to make you curse my name as you spend valuable minutes of your life unwrapping the damn thing. Seriously, I use a frustrating amount of the stuff. 

Please check out my other listings. I add new books all the time.

Finally, thanks for your time and consideration, both are greatly appreciated.
