X-Men is all the rage in the aftermarket right now, as once again rumors of the mutants’ imminent debut in the MCU swirl. Not only that though, but there is also simply a lot of just a general renewed interest in mutants of all eras. People are rediscovering the silver age stories as well, and that means it is time for my boy The Vanisher to shine. One of my silver age favorites, his debut is in X-Men #2, and has always been a sought-after early issue. Especially one like this copy, a CGC 7.0 taking bids at Heritage Auctions today. At $1,150 as of this writing, I won’t be able to get this one either, but maybe you can. Check it out below.
