400, before you do anything dumb with those x books and invincible books, let me know which you are getting rid of.

I was always on the lookout for Uncanny #'s 170-210 or so... I want to start hoarding those issues sometime.

I won't be throwing those away or anything....... The run of Troll Lords that on the other hand.......

I decided to keep all the way through 290 on Uncanny. That way, I've got the Claremont stuff still as well as the Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio stuff. After that, I don't remember enjoying it.

I'm keeping those Uncannys, Astonishing X-men, X-Factor (both runs for now), and Ultimate X-Men (I actually liked it).

I've pulled the whole 1990 X-Men, all X-Forces, and everything above 290 on Uncanny to get rid of.

Also keeping West Coast Avengers.....

Hawkeye rules.

I need a ton of uncannys in the 300-current range.

Keeping the stuff you liked is a safe bet. Maybe read most of it again and see what you think before making a decision.

I find with selling some books that sometimes I do regret the sale.

Personally I think the Byrne FF, in particular the first 30 or so issues, are classic. After that they are merely 'good'. And David's Hulk is consistently good, although the story from his run that really stands out was Future Imperfect which wasn't even in the regular series.

Seriously fun stuff. Loved the time travel story.

Any reason behind hoarding those specific issues?

Nostalgia... these are the issues I bought off the spinner rack at my local drug-store. I want to find HG copies of newsstand editions - most of what I see in really high-grade are "direct" editions.
