Is the bottom of the X-Men 3 shadow from your camera or a stain? I'd say they are both roughly a Very Good, which would be around 4.0 on CGC scale. Even if they are 3.0 still worth some good money.
The X-Men # 3 is probably worth $500-800 USD:
X Men #3 1/64 Marvel Comics (CGC Analyzer)
CGC Comic ID #17 is X-Men #3 from 1/64 published by Marvel Comics which has been certified by CGC Comics.

Iron Man #1 probably $500-700:

Nice books, both would be considered key issues (Very early X-men/first appearance of The Blob, 1st issue of the ongoing Iron Man series).
They are worth getting professionally graded in my opinion, easier to sell (also to insure). Here is the CGC website:

Hope that helps a bit. This has made me miss comic book collecting lol
I have Iron Man #1. I also have a few old Tales of Suspense with early Iron Man appearances. Probably my most valuable issue is Iron Man #55… first Thanos appearance.
I should probably open my old bins one of these days.

"RPG" is in the title of this thread...any of my fellow HFBoards peeps into tabletop rpgs at all? I'm talkin' Old School pen & paper & weird dice style...
I myself have a long and maybe odd relationship with the hobby. I was introduced to D&D and AD&D back in the late 70's and acquired a sizable collection of material through the mid 80s for many of the different early games. D&D, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu, Boot Hill...and many more. All of that stuff is gone. I think at some point at the end of the decade I must have taken it to a shop and traded it all in (which of course I regret big-time) - except for the Call of Cthulhu stuff which I still have. Then I was "out" of the hobby till about 2008 or so when I became aware of something called the Old School Renaissance/Revival which was basically just a bunch of players who were unhappy with more modern versions of the games and were returning to the original games for inspiration. Anyway, they were producing material for the old games and I got hooked again. The weird part though is that in all the years I've collected stuff and been interested in the hobby I've only very minimally actually played the games. I just mostly enjoy the books...they are like an encyclopedia of the imagination or something.
My current thing is Old School Essentials. Basically a re-presentation of the original Basic/Expert D&D rules from the early 80s but the books are absolutely gorgeous!
(It's weird that I can't specifically remember what I actually did with all those old books I had. It was a ton of stuff! I've always sort of hoped I'd come across a box full of it stored in my parents basement or something because for the life of me I don't remember getting rid of it all when I moved out but my parents moved into an apartment a few years back and in going though all the stuff in prep for the move I never did find that box so who knows?)

Just out of curiosity, what other issues do have from the 20 you are getting done?
I desperately wanted to play D&D and the original Star Wars RPG by WEG when I was a kid in the 80's , but where I grew up (a fairly isolated farm up north) it wasn't happening haha. I had some of the source books for both, like you I just enjoyed reading them.
There was another "classic" D&D renaissance recently due to it playing a pretty central role in "Stranger Things".

A few are: 3x the first appearance of Venom in any form in Secret Wars (think it’s 8), also have X-men 95 (second appearance on new X-men). An issue of Daredevil that is Apparantly an important issue. They have been hidden away in a closet at my moms for the last 30 years. I will have to go over there and dig through them. My brother and I figure it’s time to get our collections properly graded. We are also looking to do the same with sports cards. We are pretty nervous to mail things in and would prefer a drop off somewhere even if it’s Toronto even in the US somewhere for the sports cards. My brother will be travelling to TO for business so perhaps that will work out.

Can anyone who went to the Chris Stapleton show let me know what time it was that he actually came out to play? I am attending on Saturday in Vancouver, and I am trying to go without some people I know finding out. And they’ll be there. So I figure they’ll probably go for the opener and I’ll avoid the mishap of us happening to be on the same Skytrain by showing up just for Stapleton. I kinda feel like Larry David. Without all the money.

A pint of dark matter, please.
I collected the early Iron Man series, had almost every book. Went away to University for 4 years came back and found that my parents had donated them all to a Church auction.

The Orville New Horizons premiered today on Disney Plus with an awesome episode!
Excellent story exploring hatred and suicide without the lecturing of Nu-Trek and Nu-Star Wars.
After being lectured to by Discovery, Picard and Obie-Wan Kenobi, The Orville New Horizons was such a breath of fresh air.
It reminds me of how important good writers are to a show.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the release of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (June 4th, 1982) and it'll be returning to theaters for a very limited time in September.

Orville has (uneven two-part pilot aside) consistently been the single truest heir to the Trek legacy, far more than any 'official' Trek-branded show.

Yeah, my kids and I play old school (with me as GM) ... pen & paper, plus extra weird dice since we play Genesys with its dice that have weird symbols on them instead of numbers (but still the similar variety of 6 sided, 8 sided, etc). I really really enjoy Genesys, very good "generic" RPG system that works amazingly well for any and all genres and without tons of charts. It's very much a narrative game and the mechanics work to give a cinematic feel I find.
So far, we've done a sci fi/space exploration campaign with my own home-brew setting, we did the Dragonlance Chronicles books (which I converted to Genesys), and currently working on a kind of space opera/space horror setting I made myself involving vampires and zombies in space. Took a bunch of inspiration from the Warhammer 40K roleplaying game but made my own setting.

Good, hope they reverse and undo all of the let's make Inhumans the new mutants crap they did in the comics for about 10 years (Kamala is an Inhuman in the comics). They made a real effort at minimizing the X-Men and anything mutant related before the Fox purchase. Inhumans just never caught on in a big way after numerous relaunches and attempts. I always hated that direction Marvel took.
I haven't watched Ms. Marvel yet but the mutant reveal was spoiled for me earlier in the day.
