These are some of them, I will add more in the future posts.
There are alot of cameo's & first appearance's that the industry just haven't got right (it was spoken about extensively in the old forum), So some of them will be included in these lists, Enjoy!

Funnily enough, I know that Overstreet lists Longshot much higher than CPG does. I had duplicates of the entire series, so I decided to sell them as a whole series for $25 in high grade (9.2 give or take) as a compromise price.. They sold before the show even opened. I mean, I was still setting up my table when another dealer came by and bought them. So... yeah... definitely primed to go up.

I assume for X-men 160, you mean first 'teen' Illyana, since she appears in GS X-men #1.

That's awesome Doug, There's not much Longshot Australian eBay.
CPG has them at $4 each, What does Overstreet have them at Doug?
I know there are a million & 1 copies of them out there but most i've seen over the years are in terrible shape.
I only have one NM set, Had an extra $30 bucks about a year & half ago. I asked a reg. seller what he had for that price...after some not so fun choices i gave up & just then he said Longshot...after a pause i said o.k. i'll take it.
Even he noted they getting harder to find in NM now.

Overstreet has #1 at $30 in NM and the rest at $15. So, big discrepancy. Not sure who's closer, but if someone wants to pay me $30 for #1, I am happy to take it. My big worry was that someone would go and buy #1 only and the rest of the series wouldn't sell. There are indeed a ton of almost everything X-Men out there, so I'm always a bit worried when I see such a price discrepancy. Seems like dealers want them if they don't have them, but don't want to get caught holding a ton of copies.
I'm guessing I lucked out in finding 2 complete sets of the mini-series in recent collection buys, if your experience is anything to go by.

Whoa! i did good then Lol. I'm seeing VF set's sell for around $30 but to be honest i haven't seen a solid NM set in ages (well here in Australia anyway) so maybe Overstreet does have it right.
My thoughts exactly, Mojo himself didn't appear till issue #3. tis' a shame that they may be split up.
There's so much going for the set.
#1: first Art Adams work in comics, First Longshot & Spiral, First Mojoverse & Mojoworld.
#2: first Hitch (director)
#3: first Mojo.
#4: first Major Domo.
There are a ton of villains & other supporting characters throughout the series. Great set to have.
The 90's X-Men cartoons are an awesome watch to get the idea of the whole thing & the tech addicted world we live in today fits well with the Mojoverse.
Bring on a movie, Oh yeah!
