Trap checkDon't buy these

16 listingson eBay right now look like this issue but aren't it — usually the cheapest ones on the page. Here's what's wrong with each, so you don't buy the wrong book.

  • Wrong volume$1.76

    Classic X-Men (1986) #23 | 5.0 VG Condition | Chris Claremont Bagged and Boarded

    Same title and issue number, but a different relaunch. Daredevil #1 exists in six volumes — the 1964 key and the 2023 reboot are not the same book.

    CLASSIC X-MEN #23 1988 X-MEN #117 REPRINT FN

    A modern reprint of the original cover. Often looks identical in photos, but it is not the collectible book — these sell for a few dollars.
