Background on The Human Torch, the grade and what drives the price.
Key issues
The first X-Men comic is The X-Men #1, cover-dated September 1963, from Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The books collectors chase most are that issue, Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975), X-Men #94, #101 and #129, and on all of them the CGC or CBCS grade is the largest driver of price.

Key issues
The key Ghost Rider comic is Marvel Spotlight #5 (August 1972), the first appearance of Johnny Blaze as Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider #1 (September 1973) followed it, and for either book the third-party grade is one of the biggest factors in what a copy sells for.

Characters
Jean Grey became Phoenix in The X-Men #101, cover-dated October 1976, by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, rising from Jamaica Bay after piloting a shuttle through a solar flare. Jean herself first appeared as Marvel Girl in X-Men #1 (September 1963); #101 is the first appearance of the Phoenix identity and costume. The Dark Phoenix Saga followed in X-Men #129–137 (1980).

Characters
Blade first appeared in The Tomb of Dracula #10, cover-dated July 1973, created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan as a vampire hunter with wooden knives and a grudge against Dracula. The character's 1998 film made the issue a major Bronze Age key, and demand has stayed high since.
