?I couldn't be prouder of this auction,? said Travis Landry, a Bruneau & Co. auctioneer and its Director of Pop Culture. ?The comics, TCG and toys all have top level offerings for the serious collector. The Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 9.0 and 1st ed Charizard are going to be standout lots.?

The copy of Marvel Comics Giant-Size X-Men #1 (Summer 1975), graded CGC 9.0, features the first appearance of the new X-Men ? Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird, and second full appearance of Wolverine. The comic is expected to bring $4,000-$6,000.

The same is true for the 1999 Wizards of the Coast Pok?mon Jungle 1st edition factory sealed booster box, showing minimal shelf wear and tight and intact WOTC branded cellophane wrap. Also a Holy Grail item for Pok?mon collectors, it should top $10,000.
