I have a Marvel comic, 1966, that says "the X-Men", volume 1, #18.
I can't find it in the price guide.
Can anybody tell me what to look under?

The problem is that the series changed names around #142. The guide lists it under Uncanny X-Men even though the correct name for issue #18 does not include the word "Uncanny".

True and yes I agree with you. I will say some new and even a small amount of old collectors don't know about the indicia, I can understand that, it took me a book that the cover title and the indicia being different to understand the importance of the indicia.
By saying look at the indicia hopefully a poster will find what a indicia is and use it. Confusing someone is not what I was trying for. Saying use the indicia will get results if not don't use by "modifying" your search, like you do, can get results.
Try yourself to look up the issue the original post ask to find. Did you have a problem finding it? I doubt it. People that don't take a short time to find a book, instead of hoping for a instant find, they give up to easily. I will say at times on this site you search for a book and zero finds come up. That happens.
Collectors like you have a wealth of knowledge for everyone that come to this forum to learn from. I just tried to help, that is all. From all of your posts I know I'm less than you in collecting and knowledge but I try. I'll keep coming back to learn from people like you.
Less than me in collecting and knowledge? I seriously doubt that. Your knowledge is probably more specialized in other areas. I've been at this a long time, but I'm all ears when I'm hanging around people who know stuff that I don't know.
I tell people that I know a little of everything and a lot of nothing. Amassing more and more comics that take up more and more space has less appeal to me now. I spend more time collecting info and I'd be better classified as a novice comics historian. Last year I was confusing Star Lord & Star Hawk. Much of my comics knowledge is dissolving away as I get older. You are welcome to question anything I say. You are welcome to disagree. You are welcome to take pride in anything you own and feel no shame. The most valuable comics I own are the ones I bought as a 9 year old and wrote my name on them. The covers are falling off because I read them repeatedly. The key silver age books that I acquired years later are nice to own, but the ones that inspired me to collect comics at age 9 are priceless.

We are close in age. There is no dignity in getting older. The thing about medical problems is that everyone has them. People don't know that James Earl Jones was a chronic stutterer. He overcame it by singing his words because singing is done in a different portion of the brain. People don't know that Bugs Bunny brought Mel Blanc out of a coma after a serious car wreck. He was unresponsive and someone said "What's up Doc?" Mel Blanc responded in Bugs Bunny's voice and they brought him out of the coma by communicating with his cartoon voices. The brain is an amazing thing. Don't focus on the things you struggle with. Don't let it make you feel like something is wrong. Focus on the things you can do and see what else you can do. You'll amaze yourself.
