You are buying a copy of Marvel Comics Marvel Milestone the X-Men Issue #1 published in 1991 with slick heavy paper and silver ink on the cover. This is personally hand signed by Stan Lee certified and graded by CBCS as 8.0 with Stan's signature verified by BGS (Beckett) . Stan's pictured is shown for illustration only, you only get the graded comic.

CBCS’s Authentic Signature Program (ASP) guarantees the authenticity of signed comics (Yellow Label). Each Authentic Signature comic book is sealed in a crystal-clear (PETG) inner sleeve and encapsulated in our tamper evident hard case.

CBCS Verified Signature (COA)

In partnership with CBCS Comics, all autographed comics submitted for comic authentication and/or grading are evaluated by Beckett Authentication Services to determine and verify the authenticity of the autograph. The book given the Yellow label with verification on the label of the signer by Beckett. 1st Printing. Bright silver cover ink, printed on high-quality SLICK paper and the cover price is not inside a white box. Classic Jack Kirby art. Reprints X-Men 1 (1963).

This book in our opinion is graded incorrectly. It is seriously under graded as this is a brand new unread copy signed by Stan Lee. Look at the grader notes. This book is printed on 80+ pound high quality slick (glossy) paper. At a Min. it looks like a 8.5 or better. Due to the long current turnaround times we elected to sell this book "as is" and the buyer gets the benefit as they might want to send it back in for a re-grade. Our estimate of the FMV as of 10/2022 of a verified Stan Lee signature alone is $180 or above and on an X-Man book the range is $275 on the low end to many K's above the average. We have included a copy of CBCS grading standards for reference.
